Networks and Communications

A network can link all the computers in your office, allowing users to share files, programs and resources such as printers and modems. Even businesses with fewer than ten computers find they benefit from installing a network.

This briefing is aimed at users who are planning to install a new network or upgrade an existing small network. See Network servers, IT 10, for information on choosing a network server to manage your network.

This briefing covers:

• Types of network.
• The equipment you need.
• Small, medium and large networks.
• Managing your network.
