A 2-day workshop on "Troubleshooting and problem solving of Ethernet networks" will be held in London, Manchester and Glasgow.

IDC Technologies is presenting a 2 day workshop on "Troubleshooting and problem solving of Ethernet networks" in London on 29th and 30th June, in Manchester on 3rd and 4th July and in Glasgow on 6th and 7th July 2006 Ethernet is fast becoming the obvious choice for industrial control networking worldwide

While the basic structure of Ethernet has not changed much, the faster technologies such as Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet have increased the complexity and choices available in planning and designing these systems.

As Ethernet has become more complex, a number of misconceptions have arisen as to how Ethernet functions and how the system should be optimally configured.

This workshop addresses these issues in a clear and practical manner to enable delegates to apply the technology quickly and effectively.

The workshop commences with a brief outline of the fundamentals of Ethernet and its operation.

The method of access is discussed in depth and topics such as full duplex and auto negotiation are explained.

The best methods of designing and installing the cabling systems are then explored with the discussion ranging from 10Base-T over twisted pair to Gigabit Ethernet cabling.

Methods of optimising Ethernet to obtain best performance are then defined.

Finally the all important topic of troubleshooting is examined with a summary of the typical problems likely to be encountered from a two-station network all the way up to a system comprising 30,000 PCs.
