EXPERIMENT No. 2

AIM: Implementation of PC to PC communication with IEEE 802.3

SOFTWARE REQUIRED: ST5002A Software

HARDWARE REQUIRED : LAN Trainer kit ST5002A, 2-CAT5 Cables, 42 mm Patch Cords

THEORY: The ISP uses the TCP/IP protocols to make computer-to-computer connections possible
and transmit data between them. When connected to an ISP, you're assigned an IP address, which is a
unique address given to your computer or network to communicate on the Internet.

Using the Internet, computers connect and communicate with one another, primarily using the TCP/IP
(Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). Think of TCP/IP as a book of rules, a step-by-step
guide that each computer uses to know how to talk to another computer. This book of rules dictates
what each computer must do to transmit data, when to transmit data, how to transmit that data. It also
states how to receive data in the same manner. If the rules are not followed, the computer can't connect
to another computer, nor send and receive data between other computers.

To connect to the Internet and other computers on a network, a computer must have a NIC (network
interface card) installed. A network cable plugged into the NIC on one end and plugged into a cable
modem, DSL modem, router, or switch can allow a computer to access the Internet and connect to other
computers.

Procedure:
1. Connect CAT5 cables between computer (RJ-45 is on back panel of the computer) and
RJ-45 connectors on ST5002A.

2. Connect patch cords between Tx & Rx (Tx+ to Rx+; Tx- to Rx-) for both ends.
3. Run ST5002A installed software on both nodes and follow the steps
4. Click on ‘PC to PC Communication’
