DATA AND WIRELESS
ACCESS POINT SYSTEM
DATA SYSTEM
A Data System comprises cables, access points, switches, routers, and other components that
enable devices to connect to internal servers, web servers, and other Local Area Network(LAN)
via Wide Area Network (WAN).
DATA SYSTEM COMPONENTS
• Router
• Layer2 (L2) Switch/Non-PoE Switch
• PoE Switch (WAP)
• Cable Organizer
• Patch Panel
• UTP Cable (CAT5e/CAT6/CAT6A)
• Wireless Access Point(WAP)
• Data Outlet including I/O
ROUTER
The router used in home and small networks is more accurately called a residential gateway, but
you'll never see these devices called that.
A router is a device that communicates between the internet and the devices in your home that
connect to the internet.
A router is the first line of security from intrusion into a network. Enabling the highest level of
security on the router turns on things like the firewall, and is the best way to keep your computer
system and information safe from attack
L2 SWITCH/NON-POE SWITCH
Switch is a network device that connects other devices to Ethernet networks through twisted
pair cables. It uses packet switching technique to receive, store and forward data packets on the
network. The switch maintains a list of network addresses of all the devices connected to it.
Switches have different number of ports, 8, 16, 24 and 48 ports depending on the brand used.
POE SWITCH
A POE switch is a network switch that has Power over Ethernet injection built-in. Simply connect other
network devices to the switch as normal, and the switch will detect whether they are POE-compatible
and enable power automatically.
PoE switches have different number of ports, 8, 16, 24 and 48 ports depending on the brand used.
CABLE ORGANIZER
As the name suggest, this manages the cables in a data cabinet to make it organize
PATCH PANEL
If you want to set up a wired network that includes multiple wall ports in various rooms, a patch
panel in a central location can provide a simple, neat and easy-to-manage solution.
A patch panel is essentially an array of ports on one panel. Each port connects, via a patch
cable, to another port located elsewhere in your building.
Like the switch, patch panel has different number of ports, 16 Port, 24 Port and 48 Port.
What is Patch Cord/Patch Cable?
Patch Cable is just a UTP cable that connects from the patch panel to the switch.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
UTP has a maximum distance of
100 m from the outlet to the switch
WIRELESS ACCESS POINT(WAP)
A wireless access point (WAP) is a hardware device or configured node on a local area network
(LAN) that allows wireless capable devices and wired networks to connect through a wireless
standard, including Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. WAPs feature radio transmitters and antennae, which
facilitate connectivity between devices and the Internet or a network. A WAP is also known as a
hotspot or Wi-Fi.
WAP needs to be connected to the PoE Switch since it needs power.
DATA OUTLET
This outlet attaches to the back edge of a work surface. It features a furniture industrystandard opening that accepts voice/data modules or faceplates from various manufacturers.
Data outlets are classified according to the number of ports needed in that area, 1, 2, 3 and 4
gang but usually 1 and 2 gang are often used.
DATA CABINET
A data cabinet is a server or a data storage cabinet that can be placed on the floor/ceiling
space to organize valuable IT equipment and data safely. It is where the components of a
data, wap, telephone, cctv and other managing system is located.
Data cabinets are classified using its height which is measured with U which means unit. There
is a 4U, 6U, 9U, 12U, 15U, 18U, 21U, 22U,…, and 48U as the maximum.
TELEPHONE SYSTEM
TELEPHONE SYSTEM
A phone system comprises multiple telephones used in an interconnected fashion that allows for
advanced telephony features such as call handling and transferring, conference calling, call
metering and accounting, private and shared voice message boxes, and so on.
A telephone system can range from just a few telephones in a home or small business up to a
complex private branch exchange (PBX) system used by mid-sized and large businesses
There 3 types of telephone system: Analog, VoIP, and Hybrid (combination of both).
ANALOG SYSTEM
Analog phone systems consist of traditional landlines installed by the local phone company. It's
also known as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS). For business functionality, you might need
extra telecom hardware.
VOIP SYSTEM
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a
broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line.
HYBRID SYSTEM
A Combination of both analog and VoIP System.
ANALOG VS. VOIP TELEPHONE SYSTEM
TELEPHONE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
• PBX
• PoE Switch (if VoIP)
• Cable Organizer
• Patch Panel
• Telephone oulet
• Telephone (Analog/IP)
PBX
PBX stands for Private Branch Exchange. Think of it as an internal telephone network of a
business or other entity. PBX phone system users can communicate with one another over the
phone via internal lines, and make and receive external calls as well. A PBX phone system
usually delivers business telephony features such as call forwarding, call transfer, call queue,
auto-attendant, voicemail, etc.
With a PBX phone system, the physical phone line coming into your business can be split into
multiple lines, allowing you to support more telephones.
