Network Field Tripby: Steve Beaulieu Thanks to Matt Hillman (Director of Human Resources and Technology) Northfield Public Schools
The Head End		 The head end is a technical term for the main room.  This is where all the schools in our district connect to the network.  This room is located in the high school. The topology of the LAN (Local Area Network) network is a star, branching out from the HS to elementary schools and the district  office. This hardware will get really warm so it is imperative to keep the temperature cool in here.
The cables Each elementary school is connected to the head end via fiber optic cable, these can run for miles. Each workstation in the high school (where the head end is located) is connected to the head end via category 5 cable.  The recommended max length of this cable is 328 feet. Some of the rooms are farther than 328 feet away which is why there is a need for a meeting place.  The closet
The closets	 Think of the closet as a meeting place for the computer in your classroom and the head end. Why do we need closets again? Because the category 5 cable can only run 328 feet and some rooms are  farther away.  It also help with organization.
Wireless	 Bridgewater Elementary School is piloting a wireless network in which 40% of the school runs on.   They expect the middle school to be completely wireless within a year.
Thanks I’d like to thank Matt Hillman for taking the time to answer my questions and show me around behind the scenes.  It is amazing how much more it makes sense when I can talk to someone and actually see what the network stuff is all about. It was a valuable experience.
