Features: This book is one of the planned teaching materials for higher education institutions in the 21st century in the field of electromechanical engineering. It is compiled based on the principle of "high perspective, low starting point." On one hand, it combines the current development trends of the internet to introduce the most advanced mainstream network technologies, discarding outdated content. On the other hand, it starts from a low level and provides an in-depth yet accessible explanation of the fundamental and practical aspects of networking, avoiding complex theories and focusing on practical network knowledge, network setup, construction, and practical network usage techniques. The book is divided into nine chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the basic knowledge of computer networks and data communication; Chapter 3 covers the functions of network hardware and the techniques for setting up networks using network hardware; Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the working principles and construction examples of local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs); Chapter 6 introduces the most advanced and popular internet network principles and networking technologies; Chapters 7 and 8 cover the Windows 2000 network operating system and its applications, as well as the UNIX network operating system and its application technologies; and Chapter 9 integrates the knowledge from the previous chapters to explain practical network configurations and case studies. The book is rich in content, well-structured, and highly practical. In addition to serving as a textbook for higher education institutions in electromechanical engineering, it is also suitable for a broad audience of computer network users and students and teachers from various institutions. It can also be referenced by development and design personnel, as well as network operation, maintenance, and management staff.
