2.  ·   Cheryl would need a router, a hub, a switch, physical transmission media (cables), a broadband modem, a network interface card (NIC), NOS and a multiplexer. ·   -    ·   The peer-to-peer strategy because Cheryl can then send information to and from each computer, and share it. It is also cheaper and easier to maintain. __ diagram __ 3.  ·   The men would need cables, a NIC, cables, a hub, and a switch. ·  The network topology needed would be a star because the information downloaded from the internet computer would be accessible from all computers and if one computer is removed, it will not affect the rest of the computers or devices in the network. __diagram __  

Question 4:   a )      The problem with BMR’s information systems is that they don’t have a network system setup to connect their personal computers together, making it more difficult for the consultants to share information if needed and when someone needs to use the laser printer they have to copy their information onto a floppy disc and put it onto Ann’s computer the only one with the laser printer access this consumes a lot of unnecessary time. For any consultants on the road with a notebook computer they do not have access to the files in the building they normally have to copy the needed information before they leave, but if need unexpected files there is no way to retrieve it.         b)   A network would easily solve these problems by having the computers connected up together so they can all access information and data on any of the other computer and be able to use any of the printers easily. Also having the wireless connected off the network to the notebook for the people on the road to have access to files, also having a broadband modem to make file accessing faster and so more then one computer can access the internet at a time. The best network to use would be the star network.    c)   The Equipment needed: Personal computers, inkjet printers, laser printer, switch, cables, wireless access point, notebook computer, broadband modem,         d)        Network
