Intended Users

• The current and projected IT502 lab user
  community consists of undergraduate and graduate
  technology students with high degree of computer
  experience

7
Inventory of User Needs

• Users require high-speed processing and
  connection speeds to facilitate completion of
  CAD/CAM and simulation coursework
• Must facilitate manufacturing process control and
  instrumentation applications
• Internet/Web/E-mail access must be available 100
  of the time
• Individual and public data storage is desirable
• Streaming media will be implemented in the form
  of real-time audio, video, and simulations

8
Inventory of Legacy Components

• Use as much existing CAT 5 horizontal cabling as
  possible from previous installation
• Replace overheating Ethernet switch
• Discard errant patch cables
• Assess salvage all PCs currently in lab

• Documented Tape Rotation System
• On-site Off-site Tape Storage

21
Physical Security Requirements

• All PCs must have keyed or combination locks
• Server must be secured to table with lock
• Door to MDF must lock
• Lab door should remained locked when classes are
  not in session

22
Conclusions

• Benefits of practical experience in the
  application of conceptual materials
• LAN construction success factor 85
• Remaining tasks
• Complete HCC punch-down to patch panel
• Test remaining telecom outlet boxes
• Configure PCs, routers, and switches
• Handoff support activities to subsequent class

23
Recommendations/Lessons Learned

• Improve preliminary planning process
• Ensure availability of tools and supplies
• Implement 20 min. team meetings prior to each
  work period to schedule activities and assign
  action items
• Establish project earlier in semester
• Engineer quality at every step
