Local area network (LAN). Computer and Network Examples

A local area network (LAN) is a devices network that connect with each other in the scope of a home, school, laboratory, or office. Usually, a LAN comprise computers and peripheral devices linked to a local domain server. All network appliances can use a shared printers or disk storage. A local area network serve for many hundreds of users. Typically, LAN includes many wires and cables that demand a previously designed network diagram. They are used by IT professionals to visually document the LANs physical structure and arrangement.

The Network Logical Structure Diagram is designed to show the logical organization of a network. Shows the basic network components, network structure, and determines the interaction of all network devices. The diagram displays basic devices and zones: Internet, DMZ, LAN, and group. Clarifies what network equipment is connected, describes the major nodes in the network, gives an understanding of the logical structure of the network as well as the type of interaction within the network.

Local Area Network Diagrams visualize the communication schemes of LAN, and the networks arrangement in houses, offices and buildings. They are used by IT professionals to visually document the LANs physical structure and arrangement.

IDEF0 Flowchart Symbols →

Functional modeling allows to make complex business processes simple. One of the basic methods is IDEF0 and one of the most effective also. To create a business model, use flowchart symbols.
The IDEF0 library, supplied with ConceptDraw IDEF0 Diagrams solution contains 18 IDEF0 basic notation symbols. All symbols are the vector graphic images what means, that one can customize their size preserving the stable quality. Another library of IDEF0 symbols can be find out in the the Business Process Diagrams solution, included to the Business Processes section of ConceptDraw Solution Park. These libraries composed from just vector objects and are totally compatible. You can apply the IDEF0 symbols from both libraries at your flowcharts, if needed.

Network Diagram Software Home Area Network →

Even if you design a network for yourself, you still might need a network diagram software to do it in a convenient way. Your laptop, or PC, a smartphone and a router form a home area network, which might be very small, but has to fulfill all your requirements. A schematic diagram will help you to arrange all the cables and network devices in a proper way.
This wireless network diagram is made to describe the home-area network system. This diagram shows the typical wireless network organization in a private house or condominium. It consists from computers and gadgets that use wireless connections. The diagram is created using the ConceptDraw Computer Networks Diagrams solution. It is a rather common diagram that features icons depicting Wi-Fi point, router, media gadgets and periphery with connections and routes that show the flow of data.
