How to Make LAN Network with Easy
Tool to build a LAN network
-The router is the heart of a network. Router works to
connect one network with another network. In this case, the router
connects the Internet network with the LAN network
-Switch Unlike the router, the switch works to connect
each computer on a LAN network
-Ethernet Card is an adapter to plug in an ethernet cable so
that the computer can connect to the network. Usually, on the latest
computers, this card has been embedded onboard so you do not have to buy again.
-Ethernet Cable Ie the cable used to
connect a computer to a router or it could be one computer with another
computer. The end of this cable is given a connector called RJ-45. RJ-45
has 2 settings, namely straight and cross. Straight is used to connect the
computer to the router while cross is used to connect the computer directly
with the computer.
-Modem If you want to connect your network to internet,
then you also have to buy a modem. If you do not buy a modem, then your
computer can only communicate with other computers contained on the LAN
network.

§ 1. Crimping
tool,
§ 2. LAN
tester,
§ 3. scissor,
§ 4. multimeter.
1. Crimping tool is used to connect RJ-45
with ethernet cable. The LAN tester used for testing the LAN cable is
working or not. As an alternative to speed up or simplify your work, you
can ask the ehternet cable seller for example to simultaneously pair RJ-45 so
you just pair the cables to the router and computer.Before preparing the above
equipment. it is highly recommended that you do the planning first, which
includes the number of computers, the area, so you can create an effective
cable design so that it can save the required costs. you can use software
like paint to create your LAN network setup design. After that, then you
buy the necessary equipment and attach the equipment-equipment above.Here is a
model that we will use to build LAN network (can also for cafe). image

1. Is the
Internet
2. Converter from telephone cable To Modem
3. Is a
modem as well as a router that connects the server computer to the internet
4. Server
computer
5. Switch
Once the hardware is installed, now is the stage for
software settings. These settings include OS installation, network
connection settings, TCP / IP address configuration, and finally the network
test you have installed.
2. Enable Internet Connecting Sharing
ICS aims to share the host computer's internet
connection to other computers.
To enable ICS on the server computer, go to Control
Panel, click Network and Internet, click Network and Sharing Center, click
Change Adapter Center, Right click on the connection you want to share, click
Properties, click Sharing tab, then check Allow other network users to connect
through this computer's Internet connection, save it. Okay, up to this
point, only server computers can connect to the internet
Once the connection is shared, then each computer must
get an IP address. How,
a. open Control Panel,
b. click Network and Internet,
c. click Network and Sharing Center,
d. click Change Adapter Center.
e. Right click on LAN Connection,
f. Click Properties
g. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4) or
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP / IPv6), then select properties
h. click Obtain an IP address
automatically or Obtain an IPv6 address automatically.
