In this entry, I will be taking you through the basics of network software; network OS and the connection software.
NOS - Network Operating System
A network OS is an operating system that is powerful enough in order to connect computers and devices into a LAN (Local Area Network). Some operating systems have built-in networking functions, such as Unix and Mac OS. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008 would be an example of an network operating system and is solely in-place to support the computer system. The basic operating system features support; protocol support, processor support and hardware detection, the network operating system can keep the system or device secure and its security features include authentication, restrictions, authorisations and overall access control.
The main uses of a network operating system are user administration, system maintenance, file management and monitoring resources on the network, there are also other jobs that the network operating system can do, but I have listed the main important ones.
Connection Software
Connection software is a type of software that allows for the connection of devices and systems across a wired or wireless network. An example of connection software could be 'LAN School', which is a teacher to pupil help program that allows for the wireless connection of two or more devices or systems in order for help regarding work. Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager is similar to this.
There are various types of software that can give the administrator/user this power. Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Manager and also LAN school are two of the most popular and commonly used programs for teachers, tutors and work individuals to use, in order to demonstrate tutorials, demo's and lessons to the class/work-force.
