Workshop Network Components
A LAN currently exists in all workshops to allow the diagnostic equipment (DISplus, GT1, SSS, OPPS, OPS & Diagnostic Head) to communicate with each other. In order to successfully diagnose, code and program a vehicle, it is required to have all equipment connected to the workshop network.
Components used to create a network infrastructure in the workshop consist of
Access Point
Allows direct wireless access to LAN for GT1 and Diagnostic Head
OR
Diagnostic head establishes connection to LAN via wireless communication and thereby can be connected to DISplus or GT1, which are connected to LAN
Access point is connected directly to LAN.
Symbol - Model Spectrum 24/AP 3020-100
Wall Jack
Connection point for devices such as GT1, DISplus, Access Point, SSS, Diagnostic Head, OPPS/OPS Head, Printer and Network Server to Switched Router via RJ45 cable.
Scheme 59
Scheme 60
CAT 5 Ethernet Cable with RJ-45 Connectors
Used to establish a connection between
- Wall jack and Switched Router/Hub
- Wall jack and devices such as GT1, DISplus, Access Point, SSS, Diagnostic Head, OPPS/OPS Head and Network Server.
Switched Hub
LAN switched distribution hub for all devices connected to the network. Routes communication telegrams/messages to specific devices from specific devices. Allows multiple devices to communicate with each other without reducing data transfer rate.
Cisco Switch WS-C2950-24
Server
Central computer which controls interface/communication between all devices on the Workshop LAN and communication to external networks and internet. Keystone device for network operation along with switch/router.
