Topology, Protocols, and Hardware Configuration When designing a LAN, before connecting all computers and related resources together, it must first bedetermined how they are connected, what kind of network protocols and network operating system are used tocontrol the network, and which networking services to be offered. The model network runs both TCP/IP andNetWare on its subnetworks. NetWare is an easy choice for a typical client-server model. Novell's NetWare running IPX protocol isone of the most widely used local area network (LAN) software in the business world. It uses client-serverarchitecture based on PC and Unix clients requesting services from a
frequencies of musical notes, you can start with the knowledge thatthe A above middle C has been set by international convention to have a frequency of 440 Hz.Thus, we see that there is a mathematics involved in establishing the notes of the musical scale inwestern music and that compromises must be made in applying theory to practice. The artist andthe author must live with such inexactness just as ultimately students must live with theapproximations of any complicated design in technology.ApplicationsIdeas on what comprises good musical composition, what sounds are consonant and what soundsare dissonant are under constant developmental change. It is well beyond the scope of this shortpaper to explore such aspects. But it is my contention that the
