Abstract

The present paper presents main conceptual approaches and technical solutions for the design of a typical local area network (LAN) with a different number of work locations–from small networks of departments to central LAN of large enterprises.  The main task facing the designers of such system is to the fullest degree study all business processes of the facility itself in order to achieve utmost unification of equipment and technical solutions as well as universalization of approaches to the facility infrastructure administration and servicing.  It is necessary to take into account the availability of such by now everyday possibilities and services as:

• Telephone LAN – by means of IP-telephony technologies as well as traditional telephone network.
• Integration of designed LAN with other informational infrastructures.
• Safety and access control system in the designed LAN.
