COMPONENTS OF A NETWORK
1. Purpose - The purpose of a computing facility will greatly impact most design
aspects including room layout, computer hardware, printing systems,
projection/presentation systems, etc. Consider what the primary use of this facility
will be:
Open computer use - students come and go to use the computers for
assignments or projects
Instructional computing facility - facility is used for instruction lead by a single
person
Collaborative work - facility is used by students in a group project setting
Laboratory work - computers are used for data collection or in a laboratory
setting
3. Budget - If everyone could afford to build the perfect lab they would, but there
are always budget limitations. Find the limits and project priorities (these priorities
should be influenced by the above factors) and decide on trade-offs. Is new
furniture sacrificed for more powerful computers? Is advanced printing left behind
in favor of a projection system?

Special note - For all of the following hardware items, one should consider the reliability,
serviceability, and warranty of the specific items. This can greatly impact the
maintenance costs and headaches down the road. We recommend at least a three-
year warranty on all computer hardware if available.
1. Workstation hardware - This central aspect of the facility is influenced by all of the
previously mentioned factors. Consider the needs in the following areas
CPU - What level of processing power is required by the applications?
Memory - What amount of RAM is required by the applications?
Primary storage space - How much storage space is required to install the local
applications? Will users be storing documents on the local machines? Do
applications require a great deal of swap space?
Sub-systems - evaluate your needs for:
Networking - generally only a 10/100 Ethernet card is required
Audio - Sound card, speakers, headphones, microphones
Video - Video card speed and memory
Secondary storage - CD, CD-R, DVD, Zip, etc.
Input - Keyboard and mouse variations
Monitor - Is a large monitor needed for graphics or engineering work?
Form factor - Is a small computer required due to furniture or space limitations?
Is a small form factor monitor required for students to see the instructor or each
other?
2. Server hardware - Most computing facilities rely on a server for application serving,
print serving, or storage. This hardware can vary greatly depending on the specific
use of the server.
(not needed if each computer has a B-jack), and cabling. Networking may
represent a good portion of the cost of the facility.
5. Other peripherals - The purpose and specific application of a facility may require
additional hardware not in a traditional computing lab. These are some common
peripherals used in special applications:
Scanning
Special storage (CD-R, Jaz, DVD-R, etc.)
Special input (tablets, mapping, data acquisition, etc.)
7. Upgrade path - Any computer hardware and software will eventually have to be
replaced as it becomes obsolete. Computing facilities should have an upgrade
plan and budget for both hardware and software. In general, ITS uses a three-year
replacement cycle for hardware in computing facilities. Software is replaced more
frequently, usually as new, more useful, versions are released. Budgeting for new
software is difficult due to the unpredictable nature of software development, but
plan on spending about a third of your original software costs each year in
upgrades.
8. Furniture - The purpose of a facility is the strongest influence on the furniture and
layout of the facility. An open computer lab may simply be rows of computers on
basic tables. An instructional facility may have rows all facing the front of the room
Muka / Page : 5

for instruction. A collaborative facility may have single computers (or groups of
computers) at large tables designed to seat many students. At least one
workstation in each facility should be placed on an adjustable height table for
accessibility by people using wheelchairs. In an instructional facility, the
instructorÕs workstation should also be placed on an adjustable height table.
9. Accessibility - In addition to placing accessible tables in the lab (see the above
section on furtiture), one should also consider the accessibility of the computer
applications (using special input/output hardware or software), other systems
(printing, A/V equipment, etc.), and the accessibility of the room layout. More
detailed information about accessibility is available from the CU-Boulder Assistive
Technology Lab.
10. Power - Often the existing power circuit(s) in a room are not sufficient for a
computing facility. Examine your power needs and resources, and contact
facilities management regarding power system upgrades.

Switches and hubs are technologies or ‘boxes’ to which computers, printers, and
other networking devices are connected. Switches are the more recent
technology and the accepted way of building today's networks. With switching,
Muka / Page : 8
NO. KOD / CODE NUM. M303.K4
Drpd/of : 3
each connection gets "dedicated bandwidth" and can operate at full speed. In
contrast, a hub shares bandwidth across multiple connections such that activity
from one PC or server can slow down the effective speed of other connections on
the hub.
Now more affordable than ever, Dual-speed 10/100 autosensing switches are
recommended for all school networks. Schools may want to consider upgrading
any hub based networks with switches to improve network performance – ie
speed of data on the network.

Access to:
Network
The network connects to a File and Print Server, Fig 4. The File server stores common files,
The Print Server manages the different requests for printing. A Multimedia or CD server is
used to store and distribute Multimedia - Sound, Video, Text , applications etc . Internet
access is handled via a modem or router, while internet Filtering , Proxy and Web Caching
are all handled via a dedicated server.
First let’s review some simple models where no networking exits and computers are used
in standalone or ad-hoc mode. The following represent some simple models representing
classrooms.
Model 1a: One computer in a classroom with its own private printer. It is recommended
that schools with computers in this situation would network the classrooms in question as
shown. Networking will more effectively make use of commonly shared resources such
as file servers and school printers, internet , email etc. When a mobile PC or PC with
projector is require in a room the network points are already present.
In this scenario, there could be a single LAN-connected point for the teacher and an
additional LAN connection to allow for a portable switch. Refer to diagram 4a
Model 1a

Model 1b:
Model 1c: A non networked computer room or resource area with an ad-hoc and
inefficient use of printers, scanners etc. Networking computer rooms is essential so that
all PCs can access printers, the internet, email etc. This scenario represents a school
computing room which can be timetabled for classes, and with each computer
networked to the LAN. There may be a single LAN-connected presentation point for the
teacher and LAN-connected computers throughout the classroom. Traditionally, ICT in
Irish secondary schools has been concentrated in dedicated computer rooms. Primary
schools have more varied deployment. From an administrative point of view, this setup is
attractive. An entire class can be timetabled, avoiding problems of extra teachers for
split classes. Refer to diagram 4c
Model 1c:
Media bays, or data suites are clusters of perhaps four desktop computers, a scanner
and a printer.
These suites would be used by students in small groups or individually and could
accommodate task-oriented activities and self-directed learning.
Advantages are easy access to staff and students alike, Utilise areas of school without
losing classrooms
Public supervision
This scenario has the capability to connect multiple computers to the school LAN without
providing direct LAN connections. No LAN cabling is required for the classroom; instead
all computers are radio linked to the LAN. Wireless LAN technology is relatively new and
Muka / Page : 13
NO. KOD / CODE NUM. M303.K4
Drpd/of : 3
generally more expensive and more limited than cabled LANs. There is the potential,
however, to save on extensive cabling work with this option.
Advantages
Flexibility of machines - usually laptops - linked even if students break into small
workgroups in different parts of room.
Wireless networking means that large common areas such as canteens or libraries
can be easily connected to the network.
Less unplugging of cables into sockets reduces wear and tear
Disadvantages
Wireless networking may prove much more expensive if wiring large numbers of
machines close together.
Wireless hubs data rates (typically 11Mbps) are considerably less at present than
their cable equivalent. Thus is unsuitable for high data volumes such as multimedia
access by large numbers of machines.
Manufacturers stated ranges of 100 - 300 metres is wildly optimistic. Ranges of less
than 18 metres are not uncommon, Data rates drop off as distance increases.
While it is unlikely that wireless will replace data cables in the near future they do
provide a flexibility that can be harnessed creatively.
Dial up Refers to having to dial up the internet every time one goes online.
Always On Refers to the nature of broadband, being ‘always on’ means a dial
up is not required.

WORKSTATION
NETWORK SPECIFICATION
Network speed
LAN Networks slower than Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) should be avoided for
everyday work. Although networks slower than Ethernet (10 Mbit/s) can appear
robust as long as the user is not performing large updates, joining or sharing a
project
Without the DNS service the /etc/host file will need to be configured to resolve
names. It is recommended to have the DNS service running and avoid the subtle
problems that could arise when depending on the /etc/host file for name
resolution.
Router settings
If a local network is joined by a router, it is possible clients on one subnet will not
learn of a BIM Server running on the other subnet. ArchiCAD’s discovery service
relies on broadcasting UDP datagrams, and frequently routers block broadcast
messages. If you would like the BIM Server pop-up list to be populated for all clients
no matter where they are on your local network, make sure the routers are set to
pass broadcast messages.
Firewall settings
Firewalls should be open to the ports used by Teamwork. If these ports are not
open it is possible that a user could see the Internet, download email, but still not
have access to the BIM Server.
Host names are restricted to the same standard naming convention as domain
names. That is, they should only contain the letters a-z the numbers 0-9 and the
hyphen '-'. A hyphen cannot start or end a host name. See RFC 1178 Choosing a
Name for Your Computer
Any company may have a group of smaller subnets linked together via routers.
Routers can be configured to control the traffic between two subnets which might
mean the blocking of connections between certain IP addresses. Make sure that
your BIM Server is ping-able from where you want to join it from.
To access a BIM Server over the Internet presents a different hurdle. Up to now we
have been primarily discussing private IP addresses. The type that are most likely
assigned by a local DHCP server. Unlike private IP addresses, public Internet IP
addresses are guaranteed to be globally unique. For this reason, a private IP
address cannot be used for a BIM Server that will be accessed from the Internet
via its IP address. Public addresses are managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority and your Internet service provider may be able to help in the application
process. When you apply for an IP address you generally apply for a domain name
as well.
Muka / Page : 19

The BIM Server listens for activity on several ports. If any of these ports are being
blocked by a Firewall or are already in use by another listener the BIM Server will
fail in one way or the other. The ports are defined in the BIM Server preferences
dialog.
It is possible that your computer obtains its name from a Domain Name System
(DNS) server. (I have seen this happen with Macs thats do not log into the domain)
If this is the case you should configure the DNS server to always provide the same
hostname. If the hostname does not resolve to a static IP address the BIM Server
might stop and start randomly as it receives new IP addresses or hostnames.
The DNS server's main task on your network is to translate the computer names to
IP addresses. Since office networks often resides in one “domain.” a hostname is
all it takes for one computer to connect to another. When you connect your home
PC to a BIM Server via the Internet a fully qualified hostname is required. For
instance, joes_pc.graphisoft.com. You will need to add this manually, since the
Discovery protocol does not work over the Internet. Additionally, this means that
your hostname.domain must be resolvable by an Internet DNS server. That is the
domain must be a publicly registered domain name. If you do not have a
registered domain you will have to resort to tricks.
Setup Steps
1. Register with a dynamic DNS service provider. We used the free services of
DynDNS.com.
Muka / Page : 20
NO. KOD / CODE NUM. M303.K4
Drpd/of : 3
2. Provide the DNS service provider with your desired hostname. Your dynamic IP
address will route to this hostname.
a. The LynkSys router Administrative Interface already offes the DynDNS
service as an option. At this point you need to provide a
username/password and host data. After this the router will register itself
with DynDNS and power on or whenever its IP address changes.
b. If your computer is directly connected with the modem, (router is not
present) there is an application with which you can register.
3. The connections that reach the router IP address via DynDNS and hostname must
be forwarded to the BIM Server's port on the internal network's IP Address
Special notes
1. Arbitrary remote computers can connect with the BIM Server using the DynDNS
hostname, but only if the Port is not blocked by a firewall.
2. If users within the local network wish to access a project that will also be available
from outside the local network then all teammates must use the external
hostname to connect. Otherwise the library paths will not be the same and user
with the "wrong" path will not see the loaded library.
The term 'wireless network' refers to two or more computers communicating using
standard network rules or protocols, but without the use of cabling to connect the
computers together. Instead, the computers use wireless radio signals to send information
from one to the other. A wireless local area network (WLAN) consists of two key
components: an access point (also called a base station) and a wireless card.
Information can be transmitted between these two components as long as they are fairly
close together (up to 100 metres indoors or 350 metres outdoors).
Suppliers would need to visit the schools and conduct a site survey. This will determine the
number of base stations you need and the best place(s) to locate them. A site survey will
also enable each supplier to provide you with a detailed quote. It is important to contact
a number of different suppliers as prices, equipment and opinions may vary. When the
term 'wireless network' is used today, it usually refers to a wireless local area network or
WLAN. A WLAN can be installed as the sole network in a school or building. However, it
can also be used to extend an existing wired network to areas where wiring would be
too difficult or too expensive to implement, or to areas located away from the main
network or main building. Wireless networks can be configured to provide the same
network functionality as wired networks, ranging from simple peer-to-peer configurations
to large-scale networks accommodating hundreds of users.
Fig 6b: Desktop PC Wireless LAN card Fig 6c: Laptop PC Wireless LAN card
Wireless LANs have advantages and disadvantages when compared with wired LANs. A
wireless LAN will make it simple to add or move workstations, and to install access points
to provide connectivity in areas where it is difficult to lay cable. Temporary or semi-
permanent buildings that are in range of an access point can be wirelessly connected
to a LAN to give these buildings connectivity. Where computer labs are used in schools,
the computers (laptops) could be put on a mobile cart and wheeled from classroom to
classroom, providing they are in range of access points. Wired network points would be
needed for each of the access points.
Installation can be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through
walls and ceilings
Access to the network can be from anywhere in the school within range of an
access point
Portable or semi-permanent buildings can be connected using a wireless LAN
Where laptops are used, the ‘computer suite’ can be moved from classroom to
classroom on mobile carts
While the initial investment required for wireless LAN hardware can be similar to
the cost of wired LAN hardware, installation expenses can be significantly lower
Where a school is located on more than one site (such as on two sides of a road),
it is possible with directional antennae, to avoid digging trenches under roads to
connect the sites
In historic buildings where traditional cabling would compromise the façade, a
wireless LAN can avoid drilling holes in walls
Long-term cost benefits can be found in dynamic environments requiring frequent
moves and changes
They allows the possibility of individual pupil allocation of wireless devices that
move around the school with the pupil.
As the number of computers using the network increases, the data transfer rate to
each computer will decrease accordingly
As standards change, it may be necessary to replace wireless cards and/or
access points
Lower wireless bandwidth means some applications such as video streaming will
be more effective on a wired LAN
Security is more difficult to guarantee, and requires configuration
Devices will only operate at a limited distance from an access point, with the
distance determined by the standard used and buildings and other obstacles
between the access point and the user
A wired LAN is most likely to be required to provide a backbone to the wireless
LAN; a wireless LAN should be a supplement to a wired LAN and not a complete
solution
Long-term cost benefits are harder to achieve in static environments that require
few moves and changes
It is easier to make a wired network ‘future proof’ for high data transfer.
There are certain parallels between the equipment used to build a WLAN and that used
in a traditional wired LAN. Both networks require network interface cards or network
adapter cards. A wireless LAN PC card, which contains an in-built antenna, is used to
connect notebook computers to a wireless network. Usually, this is inserted into the
relevant slot in the side of the notebook, but some may be internal to the notebook.
Desktop computers can also connect to a wireless network if a wireless network card is
inserted into one of its internal PCI slots.
In a wireless network, an 'access point' has a similar function to the hub in wired networks.
It broadcasts and receives signals to and from the surrounding computers via their
adapter card. It is also the point where a wireless network can be connected into an
existing wired network.
The most obvious difference between wireless and wired networks, however, is that the
latter uses some form of cable to connect computers together. A wireless network does
not need cable to form a physical connection between computers.
Ad Hoc/Peer-to-Peer Configuration
This is the most basic wireless network configuration. It relies on the wireless network
adapters installed in the computers that are communicating with each other. A
computer within range of the transmitting computer can connect to it. However, if a
number of computers are networked in this way, they must remain within range of each
other. Even though this configuration has no real administration overhead, it should only
be a consideration for very small installations.
The installation of cables is time consuming and expensive. The advantages of not doing
so are apparent:
the amount of work required and the time taken to complete it are significantly reduced
the network is accessible in places where wiring would have been difficult or impossible
with no cables linking computers together, cable-related faults and network downtime

are minimized. Where a wireless network is in place, teachers or students can have
continuous access to the network, even as they move with their equipment from class to
class.
The space over which a wireless network operates is not planar but spherical. Therefore,
in a multi-level site, network access is available in rooms above or below the access point,
without the need for additional infrastructure.
As the range of the wireless network extends outside the building, students and teachers
can use wireless devices to gather and record data outside, e.g., as part of a science
experiment or individual performance data as part of a PE class.
Network interface cards for wireless networks are more expensive than their wired
counterparts. The cost of the access points has also to be considered.
As the range of the network may extend beyond the walls of the building, it can be
accessed from outside. Consideration should be given to what security features the
equipment provides to ensure that only valid users have access to the network and that
data is protected.
1.1 HUB
Hub juga dipanggil concentrator, hub adalah alat yang menyambungkan workstation
dan alat lain dari LAN. Hub boleh bertindak sebagai repeater dan menyambungkan
nodes di dalam network yang sama. Apabila hub disambungkan ke workstation dan
LAN, ia telah disambungkan ke network server. Lihat Figure 1-2, adalah tidak mungkin
secara individu menyambungkan semua peralatan network secara terus ke server jadi
hub di perlukan untuk memberi semua peralatan network memasuki ke server dan
antara satu sama lain.

1.2. REPEATER
Repeater ialah komponen penyambungan yang paling ringkas dan digunakan pada
Local Area Network. Ianya adalah peranti elektrik yang beroperasi pada lapisan fizikal
dalam model OSI. Ini kerana ia menyambungkan segment dari network yang sama dan
membolehkan node dijarakkan dengan lebih jauh lagi. Akan tetapi repeater bukanlan
peralatan yang bijak kerana ia tidak dapat menyambungkan kepada netwokrk yang
lain. Isyarat yang membawa maklumat dalam rangkaian komputer boleh melalui jarak
dan ini menyebabkan isyarat yang dibawa akan menjadi lemah sebelun isyarat tersebut
tiba ke destinasi yang dituju. Hal ini berlaku disebabkan oleh geseran atau gangguan
seperti kebisingan yang mana ianya akan mengpenggaruhi kesinambungan data.
Oleh yang demikian repeater diperlukan bagi mengatasi masalah ini kerana repeater
ialah komponen dalam network yang berfungsi sebagai penguat isyarat yang diterima
dari satu segment lalu menghantar pula ke sambungan segment lain yang
berkedudukan jauh untuk jangkauaan transmitter. Tetapi penggunaan repeater ada
hadnya. Repeater tedak mampu untuk menaikkan lagi nilai bandwidth dan
menambahkan kelajuan penghantaran data. Malahan , sekiranya berlaku kerosakan
pada satu segment, segment yang masih lagi berfungsi seperti biasa kecuali tiadanya
lagi perhubungan antara satu segment ke segment yang rosak itu.
Figure 1-4
1.3. SWITCH
Figure 1-6
Switch pula boleh mencapai 100MB bandwidth bagi setiap port. Semua user boleh
mendapat sambungan maksimum10MB boleh meminta sistem admin untuk
mendedikasi sambungan 10MB untuk PC yang dituju sahaja dan sambungan bandwidth
akan kurang untuk user-user lain.
Malahan switch adalah lebih bijak dari hub dan akan menghantar packet kepada
destinasinya sahaja. Kelebihan ini adalah kerana switch mempunyai ciri-ciri intelligent
iaitu boleh menyimpan table MAC address NIC (network interface card) dan peralatan
komputer lain dengan membuat perbandingan sebelum menghantar ke destinasinya
yang betul. Dengan cara ini “network utilisation” dapat dikurangkan kerana bandwidth
digunakan dengan lebih efficient.
Collision mungkin tidak / kurang berlaku kerana network boleh disegmenkan kerana
packet hanya dihantar ke destinasinya dan bukan ke semua port-port yang lain.
Dengan ini mutu penghantaran yang baik dapat dikawal dan dilaksanakan. Selain
daripada itu juga, ia digunakan untuk mengelakkan daripada penggunaan melebihi
daripada empat repeater di antara satu komputer ke komputer yang lain di dalam
rangkaian. Lebih isimewa lagi penggunaan Switch Ethernet juga dapat menampung
ruang penambahan untuk sambungan rangkaian pada masa akan datang.
Kefungsian hub atau switch boleh dilihat apabila sistem rangkaian tersebut berfungsi
dengan baik dan LED atau “indicator” yang berada pada hub atau switch tersebut
Muka / Page : 29
NO. KOD / CODE NUM. M303.K4
Drpd/of : 3
akan berkelip apabila berlaku penghantaran data. Tiap-tiap “indicator” mewakili satu
port dan terdapat nombor-nombor port di setiap “indicator”.
1.4. ROUTER
Dengan penggunaan Routers, data yang dimasukkan kedalam paket hanya akan
dihantar ke network segment yang perlu ditujunya sahaja. Ia berfungsi seakan sama
dengan Bridges dan switches dan oleh sebab itu ia menapis keluar network traffic yang
tidak perlu dan membuangnya dari network segment. Routers bekerja pada Peringkat
Protokol.Router dipasang untuk mengasingkan network secara berasingan mengikut
logic. TCP/IP router dapat membentuk segment pada network berpandukan pada
alamat TCP/IP. Penapisan pada tahap ini ( Di alamat TCP/IP, juga dikenali sebagai level
3 switching) akan mengambil masa yang lama berbanding dengan Bridge atau switch
yang hanya melihat pada lapisan MAC.
Kebanyakan Routers juga boleh melakukan fungsi Bridges. Disebabkan Routers boleh
menapis paket pada peringkat protocol, ia boleh digunakan sebagai firewalls. Ia
bertindak sebagai penghadang/penghalang yang menahan paket yang tidak
dikehendaki samaada hanya melalui atau memasuki kawasan network.Selalunya,
organisasi yang disambung pada internet akan memasang router pada gateway link
yang utama iaitu diantara network dan kawasan luar/dunia luar.Dengan melaras router
berdasarkan senarai kemasukan(access list) yang menyenaraikan protocol atau host
mana yang dibenarkan masuk). Ini adalah factor keselamatan dimana ia
menghalang/membenarkan kemasukan samaada ke internal atau external
host.Sebagai contoh, internal WWW server membenarkan kemasukan IP dari external
network, tapi server company yang lain yang mengandungi data yang sensitive boleh
dikawal, jadi external host dari luar boleh dihalang kemasukannya (anda juga boleh
mengabaikan kemasukan internal workstation jika diperlukan)
Kefungsian router boleh dilihat apabila sistem rangkaian tersebut berfungsi dengan baik
dan LED atau “indicator” yang berada pada router tersebut akan berkelip apabila
berlaku penghantaran data samada kedudukan “indicator” tersebut berada di
bahagian hadapan atau belakang router tersebut.

1.5. MODEM
Modem adalah perkakaksan yang membolehkan pengguna berhubung dengan
pengguna lain dengan menggunakan wayar telefon, kabel ataupun langsung tidak
menggunakan wayar(wireless). Perkataan Modem adalah gabungan daripada dua
patah perkataan modulator dan demodulator yang bermaksud mengubah sesuatu
frekuensi atau amplitud. Setelah beberapa tahun yang lalu, cara ini telah digunakan
dengan menggunakan wayar ataupun gelombang radio.
Modem selalunya mempunyai banyak indicator bagi menentukan kefungsian modem
tersebut. Indicator modem TD,RX dan SD menunjukkan data sedang dihantar dan
diterima. Modem juga mengeluarkan bunyi yang nyaring apabila penyambungan
hendak dilakukan.
Hub merupakan satu kotak yang digunakan untuk mengumpul satu kumpulan komputer
pada satu lokasi pusat dengan sistem kabel 10BaseT atau 100BaseT.
Jenis-jenis hub ini boleh didapati dalam kelajuan
10BaseT
10/100BaseT
10/100/1000BaseT.
Dan bilangan „port‟ padanya seperti:
4 port
5 port
8 port
12 port
16 port
24 port
Dengan penggunaan hub kita mudah mengalih atau menambah komputer pada
rangkaian,mencari serta menbetulkan masalah kabel serta dapat mengalih keluar
komputer daripada rangkaian sementara(untuk tujuan peningkatan pristasi).

Switch mempunyai rupa bentuk seperti hub dan mempunyai port untuk sambungan ke
sistem kabel.
Jenis-jenis switch ini boleh didapati seperti Hub, iaitu mengikut kelajuan dan bilangan
portnya.
Pastikan connector RJ 45 dipalam masukkan ke hub atau switch dan ke semua stesen
kerja.
Hidupkan hub/switch tersebut dan hidupkan juga stesen kerja.
Perhatikan LED pada Hub untuk mempastikan port-port berada dalam keadaan
baik.
Jika terdapat satu port tidak bernyala, cuba tukarkan sambungan dari stesen kerja
yang lain dengan mempalam masukkan kabelnya pada port yang tidak
mengeluarkan cahaya pada LED.
Ini bertujuan untuk memastikan port benar-benar masih elok atau tidak.
Panduan
Semua perkakasan ada buku panduan seperti buku panduan penggunaan kabel tester.
Di dalam buku panduan ini dinyatakan cara pemasangan langkah demi langkah. Juga
dinyatakan cara mengendalikannya seperti membaca status cahaya pada LED.
Dengan ada buku panduan, kita dapat melakukan kerja dengan mudah dan merujuk
balik sekiranya berlaku kesilapan.
