Practical Networking
This is a one-day, 6-8 hour course designed to provide participants with basic knowledge on how to set up a private IP network. These networks are used to control audio mixers, lighting consoles, and video switchers. These networks are now also being used more for transmission of audio and video signals within productions systems. The course begins by defining a network and moves on with the description of the types of networking cables and devices they will encounter. It covers the setup and configuration of those devices so they will communicate with each other. Finally, the attendees will learn how to set up a wireless router and connect devices to it as they will with audio consoles and mixers. This course is primarily lecture with a lot of demonstrations with some hands-on. It is usually limited to 20 participants.
