How to Connect a TV to a LAN

If your home has broadband service where you receive both TV and Internet over cable, you can use an LAN modem to transmit the cable TV signal to your TV set. You will need to have an LAN port on your TV, which many HD TV sets now come with. By connecting your TV set through a LAN, you can share your cable and Internet without having to deal with possible problems from a cable splitter, and you can free up the TV set's RG coaxial port for another possible connection.

Step 1
Connect the cable running from inside the wall of your home to your cable modem's input port. This is the cylindrical threaded port much like the main port on the TV set.

Step 2
Plug an LAN Ethernet cable into one of the output ports on the modem.

Step 3
Connect the same cable to the LAN input port on your TV set.

Step 4
Plug the modem into a wall socket. It often takes up to two minutes for the modem to fully power up.

Step 5
Turn the TV set on. If the TV signal does not immediately appear on the screen, go to the remote control's Input button and look for the modem or LAN option on the Input menu.

Step 6
Link your computer to the modem using another LAN Ethernet cable and log on from your computer to confirm you can receive Internet access from the modem as well.

Bridging Network importance in cyber operations

  There are several ways to hook up individual computers into a network. One is to use hardware routers to link up the network segments. If you buy hardware bridges, those will also connect the computers with each other. In Windows XP, simply clicking the "Bridge Connections" icon joins parts of a network together, even if the parts use different media to link their segments. Advantages Using a router or a hardware bridge requires buying more equipment to connect your computers. With a wireless router, each computer and network segment needs its own Internet Protocol (IP) address in order to direct data to the right computer. Both methods may require an IT professional or experienced amateur to connect everything properly. With Windows XP, building a bridging connection requires just a few clicks of your mouse in the right places. Bridging To make a bridge, you must log in as an administrator on your network or your computer. Click the computer's "Control Panel,"

Open Systems Interconnection

Different communication requirements necessitate different network solutions, and these different network protocols can create significant problems of compatibility when networks are interconnected with one another. In order to overcome some of these interconnection problems, the open systems interconnection (OSI) was approved in 1983 as an international standard for communications architecture by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT). The OSI model, as shown in the figure, consists of seven layers, each of which is selected to perform a well-defined function at a different level of abstraction. The bottom three layers provide for the timely and correct transfer of data, and the top four ensure that arriving data are recognizable and useful. While all seven layers are usually necessary at each user location, only the bottom three are normally employed at a network node, since nodes are conc
