Zorluk: OrtaNetwork Types and Topologies

A field technician is setting up a payment kiosk at a temporary event station. The configuration consists of a tablet computer connected via Bluetooth to a portable receipt printer and a wireless handheld barcode scanner operating within a 2-meter radius of the cashier desk. The technician erroneously logs this deployment as a Local Area Network (LAN) in the IT asset database. Which network classification should be recorded to accurately reflect this short-range device environment?

  1. Personal Area Network (PAN)Cevap
  2. B
    Local Area Network (LAN)
  3. C
    Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
  4. D
    Wide Area Network (WAN)

Cevap

Personal Area Network (PAN)
A Personal Area Network (PAN) is specifically designed for low-power, short-range interconnections between personal devices (such as smartphones, tablets, headsets, and Bluetooth peripherals) centered around an individual user's immediate workspace, typically spanning under 10 meters.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the operational range and connectivity method described in the scenario.
The devices (tablet, Bluetooth receipt printer, barcode scanner) operate within a 2-meter radius using Bluetooth short-range wireless communication.
Determining the physical footprint and transmission protocol establishes the correct network geographic scope.
2
Map the scope attributes to official CompTIA network type classifications.
Networks confined to an individual workstation or personal workspace operating within approximately 10 meters are classified as Personal Area Networks (PANs).
LANs, MANs, and WANs cover buildings, cities, and global boundaries respectively.
