THE WORKSHOP Routers and switches are primary components of most networks and obviously internetworks. Routers are simultaneously the most complex component of networks and the most important. This workshop goes through the basics of routers, routed and routing protocols and the basic rules to follow in building internetworks. If you are using any form of communication system or are applying modern PLCs/SCADA systems this workshop will give you the essential tools in working with networks. It is not an advanced workshop – but a hands-on one. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Anyone who will be designing, installing and commissioning, maintaining or troubleshooting TCP/IP and intranet/internet sites will benefit including: Design engineers Electrical engineers Engineering managers Instrumentation engineers Network engineers Network system administrators Technicians www.idc-online.com/view-schedule-workshops

The Program
John Lawrence
B.Sc (Hons) M.Sc B.Com (Hons)
In a world of distinguished engineering professionals,
finding presenters who are leaders in their field is
paramount. John Lawrence fits the criteria as a
distinguished presenter, receiving excellent course reviews
over the past 15 years.
John was extensively associated with the Diamond and
Gold mining industries in Southern Africa, and has over
20 years experience as a project and departmental
manager for a multinational oil company. During this time,
John focused on designing and managing the
infrastructure of the telecommunications, data
communications and IT systems.
In the past 5 years, John has worked extensively for a
number of multi-national clients, managing projects
including facilities management, budgeting and financial
forecasting.
When John is not consulting or lecturing, he enjoys
increasing his own skills by reading and writing about state-
of-the-art technology topics and how to optimise Return On
Investment (ROI) for the overall IT infrastructure. John is a
dedicated professional who has trained engineers and
technicians around the world.
Routers and switches are primary components of most networks and obviously internetworks.
Routers are simultaneously the most complex component of networks and the most important. This
workshop goes through the basics of routers, routed and routing protocols, and the basic rules to
follow when building internetworks. If you are using any form of communication system, or are
applying modern PLCs/SCADA systems, this workshop will give you the essential tools in working with
networks. This is an intermediate level workshop with a focus on practical, hands-on learning.
Pre-requisites: A basic working knowledge of industrial communications and applications is useful.
