which responsible for publishing of news and making editing of the news by using
computing device in carryout their activities. The department has many staffs and each
has his own responsibility. The staffs are typewriters who are responsible for type in the
department. The editors are responsible for editing the collecting news and the
department is control by the chief executive editor. The editor is assisted by lead
writers, columnists, cartoonists, photographers, reference librarians and others to bring
out the publication in a correct manner. The entire editorial use the entire computer
component in carryout their activities.
Computer component: computer can be describe as an electronic device that consists
of circuit that gives permission to data manipulation in binary format. And computer is
divided into two component which are hardware and software component. The
hardware component are device user for storing and processing data, while software
component are those set of program that process data or an information. Example of
hardware component basically there are five major hardware component of computer

NETWORKING SYSTEMS

Network architecture system: This is the structural and logical layout of network which
has transmission facilities, software and communication protocol which is capable of
collecting of computer component and data and infrastructure (wire OR wireless)
transistors
2.2 CLIENT SERVER:
Client-server this are set of computers that share network resources which act as a
server to each other over the network. In this system the computers operate
independently to the server in all the aspect. Client server architecture software
architecture can be said as the versatile and flexible in nowadays fast-changing IT
landscape. It can be said as modular in structure and relies on messaging services for
communication between components. This software were constructed or design to
enhance flexibility, usability, scalability, and interoperability. Software flexibility implies
the ability for a program to change simple way according to different users and different
system requirements. However, clientserver architecture allows the roles and duties of
Computer Base Technology 2012

U1159349 Page 10

a computing system to be spread among several independent computers that are
known to each other only through a network. This creates an additional advantage to
this architecture: greater ease of maintenance. For example, it is possible to replace,
repair, upgrade, or even relocate a server while its clients remain both unaware and
unaffected by that change.

new systems for the Company and also advice the better topology to be used.
Draw the architecture using the suggested topology
A network of a system consist of two or more link like come together to share source of
channels, sharing files and sharing electronic communication between them. a
computer network can share network in different way and using different material as
that flow of network can be done e.g. cable wires, radio wave, stellate, or infrared light
beam are this materials use can be implemented as follow.
Computer Base Technology 2012

U1159349 Page 12

The major network technology that are used are categories based on geographical
area that they supply network to which are as follows
Local area network (Lan)
Wide area network (wan)
Metropolitan network (man)
Local area network (lan) this can be said as computer network that connect computers
and other devices in a geometric place or an area, for instant like home, school, office
or any small business each computer system or any order device is called as NODE
which is capable of sharing program, printer OR hard disk.

Sever can develop mistake
It is very difficult to create security against hackers
It the network stop work it difficult or impossible to access other computers
Wide area network: this is large area networks that occupied almost a countries
network and almost the worlds at large which is using a communication channel or
which communicate with network that comprise of many kinds of media such as radio
waves and telephone lines.
A wan is almost the large network or which consist of two or more LANS connected
together, the internet is the worlds largest.

Topology: this can be defined as the arrangement of network which is a computer
network which explains how the node in computer system works. Some common
network topologists are ring, star, line, three configuration and bus
Star topology: this is the topology that each device is connected in hud which helps to
connect multiple computer device together.


View (www.blogsport.com)
Ring topology: this topology is the system where by which node is connected to two or
more node in the system which can be visualized in a way of circular configuration.

The suggestion network layout for Talk Time or network topology
In this case to use bus topology is more preferable because is recognize as the simplest
and primarily connection with local area network. Client can share idea or pass set of
information by the central cable which is regarded as the backbone of the network
system. This is the reason where only one transmitter can work at a time .However, the
Bus is capable of attaches to or detached from the network without distracting the
network system and bus is effective in connecting multiple clients together.
However, in Talk Time Company there are seven departments, in which every
department need to be connected to the network topology. In this case as earlier
suggested, bus topology is the best topology that can overcome the problem of Talk
Time Company.
Look at editorial department with five computers systems and a set of printer, scanner
connected in the bus topology network system and the administration department with
four set of computers using one printer and scanner device connected in the bus
topology. The accounting department with two set of computer printer and scanner
connected in the same line with storing department which has two set of computer and
one set of printer and scanner. The printing department is connected with two set of
computers and three printers and one scanner. The advertisement department and
circulation department in which the advertisement department has two set of computers
and printer and scanner , while the circulation department has two set of computers
