1. E7900B Understanding and
Implementing Local Networks
This 2-day lecture and laboratory course covers the
AMD EthernetlCheapernet family as well as devices
(Am7960,
Am7968/9,
etc.) useful in implementing other
forms of computer networks. A companion course,
E7900A, covers AMD devices more oriented toward the
telecommunications market (PABX, ISDN, etc.). Both
classes are scheduled throughout the year or, on spe-
cial request, at customer sites.
E7900B introduces those unfamiliar with networks to
the basic concepts and historical developments that
have led to the various types of computer networks now
available (Ethernet, Starlan, etc.). This allows the stu-
dent to understand the reasons why different network
forms can exist and where each has merit in particular
applications.
The class then explains international standards (ISO),
completed or now in progress, that are relevant to AMD
products now available (Ethernet, etc.) or soon to be
available (Starlan, FDDI, etc.). Generally related
devices (encryption, data compression, etc.) are out-
lined to provide an overall system-application view. This
constitutes the class' first day.
The second day covers the AMD Am7900 Family in
detail, including work with the Am7990 Ether-
net/Cheapernet evaluation board. Programming and
application details are discussed, from the bit level to
typical Data-Link Layer software, as used in the
Am7990T, PC-Turbo Evaluation Board.
Course Outline
• Introduction
Purposes, economics and history of networks-
ARPANET, Ethernet and the development of commer-
cial networks, standards and services.
• Network Structures
Topologies and Media-Bus, Star, Ring, Tree; guidedl
unguided radio/light.
Services, Access Methods and Performance- Pack-
etization, virtual circuits, datagrams and other services;
slotting, CSMAlCD, token passing; stability and com-
parative performance under load.
