TCP/IP is the dominant protocol for communications, media distribution and control within the home technology industry. It is essential to understand both the theory and practice of IP networks in order to design and implement Smart Home systems reliably. In addition, with wireless being asked to handle more demanding applications, it’s also critical that these are designed and implemented in a robust and reliable fashion.
To meet these demands, CEDIA has created a whole suite of IP Networking courses to improve the understanding and skill set of technicians within the industry. In this training pathway, you will learn how to implement TCP/IP connected hardware in many of the situations encountered in the residential environment.
Supported by a CEDIA certified subject matter expert, students will gain a vast amount of both technical knowledge and practical skills. During the workshops attendees will be involved in several hands-on activities designed to practical experience of common ‘on-the-job’ tasks.
This training is ideal for:
- Developing smart home network technicians.
- Technicians with some ‘try it and see’ network experience.
- Technicians installing basic smart home / IoT devices.
- Technicians preparing for the IST and RNS certifications
Key skills you will learn:
- Understanding of the 7-layer OSI Model.
- Recognising and selecting basic network hardware.
- The ‘client / server’ model of network devices.
- Network troubleshooting.
- Wireless network configuration and testing.
- Basic DNS operation.
- ‘Cloud’ operations vs. direct remote access.
- Remote access techniques including Dynamic DNS.
- Reasons and methods for network segmentation.
