The convergence of device-to-device communication via internet protocol and Ethernet networks is a critical topic in the integration industry. This course will help learners build a solid foundation of practical knowledge related to configuring IP for basic device applications. This four-module course explores the structure of a typical residential IT network, studies the differences between types of networks, details the OSI seven-layer model, prepares home technology integrators to recommend hardware based on network configurations, tests WAN configuration connection speed, and instructs how to successfully build a plan to document the network IP addresses.
