Quarter 4 – Module 1-8:
 What I Need to Know

This module covers the knowledge, skills and attitudes on networking, using tools and LAN
cabling. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The
language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to
follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed
to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into four lessons, namely:

• Lesson 1 – Computer Networking
• Lesson 2 – Common Tools for Networking
• Lesson 3 – LAN Cabling
• Lesson 4 – Configure Client Device Systems

After going through this module, you are expected to:

• Identify necessary network materials in accordance with established
procedures and check against system requirements.
• Check tools, equipment, and testing devices in accordance with established procedures.
• Install network cables and cable raceways in accordance with established procedures and
installation requirements.
• Follow OHS standards and 5S principles according to enterprise
requirements.
• Configuring client device systems.

 Lesson
CONFIGURE CLIENT DEVICE SYSTEMS
4
Client Device Settings is a way of configuring your client device by which you can
specify client settings at a collection level, allowing you to define different settings as
necessary. It has the characteristics of being flexible to create multiple client device or client
user settings and apply it to different collections as per requirement. It is a set of default
settings. But always take note that those Client Device systems settings are configured in
accordance with manufacturers’ instructions and end-user preferences. In this module, we
will show the steps on setting up your client device on Windows 7, 8 & 10 which are
configured manually.

The following are the areas to be configured:

1. Set up Time and Date
2. Set up Computer Name
3. Install and Configure Network Driver
4. Install necessary software application e.i MS Office and Anti- virus

What’s In

Configuring Client Device Systems

Steps on how to configure client device settings:
1. Setting up Time and Date

a. On Windows 10 OS, to set up the Time and

Date go to the right bottom of your taskbar.

b. Right click on the area of time and date then choose “Adjust date/time”. Then
the date/time settings will appear.

5
 c. If you wish to set your date/time automatically just click “ON” at “Set Time
Automatically”. If not, you can turn it off and be the one to set date/time.
d. You could also set “Time Zone” it is located below change date and time. You
could choose Beijing, Kuala Lumpur or Taipei, Philippines is none on the choices
just choose a time zone that much on our Time “UTC+8”.

2. Set up Computer Name

a. In setting up your Computer name, go to Start Menu and search for “My PC”, and
other Windows OS version, you can find it on desktop a computer icon with a
name of “My Computer”.

b. Then “Control Panel” will appear. Click on “Change Settings” button.

26
 c. After clicking “Change Settings”, another Set Up will appear. You can now change
the “Computer Description” and “Computer Name.”

NOTE: Setting up your computer name is important. This will serve as the identity of your
computer. It will be useful when it comes on setting up your computer network. The
Server/The Network will identify what PC is being connected or configured.
3. Install and Configure Network Driver

a. In every personal computer, it is necessary to install a network driver so that your

computer will have an access on every network connection it may need. The first
step to do is to select a Compatible driver’s pack for your PC. It depends on your
OS. Below is an example:

There are different versions of DriverPack Solution: 15, 14, 13, 12, 11,
10 & 8. You should be careful on choosing a driver pack. It should be compatible with your
PC specification.
After the installation of your network driver, you are ready to configure your
network. To configure the network of your PC, Right-click on your network connection. You
will see this in your System Tray. If you are connecting your computers through a switch
with no router, you will need to assign each computer on the network its own individual IP
address. This process is handled automatically if you are using a router. Think of an IP
address as a mailing address. Each computer on the network needs a unique

27
IP address so that information sent across the network reaches the correct destination.
• Click Open Network and Sharing Center.

• Click the Ethernet link at the top of the window. You will see this next to
"Connections." Click Properties.

• Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Make sure you do not uncheck it,
just highlight it.

• Click Properties.

28
• Click the Use the following IP address radio button.

• Type 192.168.1.50 into the IP address field.

• Type 255.255.0.0 into the Subnet mask field.

• Type 192.168.0.0 into the Default gateway field.

• Click OK. This will save the settings for that computer. This computer is now
configured on your network with a unique IP address.

29
 • Open the Internet Protocol Version 4 properties on the next computer. Follow
the steps above on the second computer to open the Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4) Properties window.

4. Install Necessary Software Application e.i MS Office andAnti-virus

You may install necessary software applications for your PC like MS Office and
an Antivirus. See figures below for references:

What’s More

Configure Local Area Network

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that
share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. Typically, a LAN
encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server within a distinct geographic
area such as an office or a commercial establishment. Computers and other mobile devices
use a LAN connection to share resources such as a printer or network storage.

30
Steps in configuring Local Area Network:
1. Prepare your workplace. It must be clean and dry. Work on a spacious table.
If necessary, work with your PPE. Do not forget to apply the OHS policies and
procedures.
2. Determine the number of computers you want to connect. The number of
computers you are connecting will determine the type of network hardware
you will need.

• If you are connecting four or less computers, you will just need a single
router or one switch if you do not need internet.
• If you are connecting more than four computers, you will want a router and
a switch, or just a switch if you do not need internet.

3. Determine your network layout. If you are installing a permanent LAN

solution, you will want to keep cable length in mind. CAT5 Ethernet cables
should not run longer than 250 feet. If you need to cover larger distances, you
will need switches at regular intervals, or you will need to use CAT6 cables.

• You will need one Ethernet cable for each computer you want to connect
to the LAN, as well as an Ethernet cable to connect the router to the
switch (if applicable).

4. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into your computer. Make sure you are
using an Ethernet cable (RJ45), not a telephone cable.
5. Plug the other end of the cable into an open LAN port. This can be any open
LAN port on either the router or the switch, depending on your LAN setup.
6. Reset the Router. In resetting your Router just click the small button on the
back of your router using a Pin or Ballpen and wait until all the icons in front of
the Router will Lights on. See figure below.

31
7. Go to a browser and type in the default IP address. It depends on the
manufacturer. For this module, we will use 192.168.0.1. See figure below:

8. Router Login will appear. Type on default username and password. “admin”
is most default username and password, still depends on manufacturer. See
figure below:

9. After encoding the default IP Address and entering the default username and
password, the Router User Interface will appear. We will now be ready for
Router Setting Up.

10. Click the Network Tab. And change your IP Address. Take note on the
Sequence of your IP Address. Save and it will reboot.

32
 11. Go to DHCP Tab, just click the Disable Button. And the browser will reboot.
