i'm doing a networking project(student). Sori for the long thread.
The current scenario:-
- Management Department
don’t have access to all corporate systems. Server is needed to do all the processing for they are using dumb terminals model 3278. don’t communicate with each other as there is no LAN in this floor.
- Accounting Department
dumb terminals which allow users to have access to Corporate Accounting System which is currently runs on the MVS mainframe. Besides, there are 20 PCs connected on 16Mbps Token-Ring LAN running Novell Netware, which provides shared access to printers and applications.
- Human Resources Department
dumb terminals which allow users to have access to Human Resource Management System. All terminals don’t communicate with each other as there is no LAN in this floor.
- Documentation Department
using 10BASE T Ethernet LAN which is running Windows NT 4.0 Server with Windows95 workstations. Moreover, the document imaging system residing on LAN Server provides 18 workstations which have access to scanned documents that are related to claims processing and insurance underwriting. Besides, this floor is required to provide all 17 branches with access to images for speedier processing of claims.
- EDP Floor
IBM mainframe in which the IBM Mainframe is running MVS and VM operating systems on separate partitions.
Now, what i want to ask is how can i implement wireless connectivity to this company. Do i jus hav to add wireless router, wireless PCI card, wireless access point? And those dumb terminals will be replace to pcs. All pcs will b using Windows. So, what other area should i put in mind. Can u guys giv me a clear view on the do & don'ts or h/w? Coz' i know nothing bout networking. thanks in advance.
