Geographical state of the Company.

How computers are arranged in the Network.

Ex- There can be several sections in a one department, according to that information we should set up a LAN for a department.

Details about the building which we going to setup a network.

How those departments are located.

Ex-   In a same building or in different buildings. If Departments are in different buildings & the distance of two buildings are more than 100m we can’t use UTP CAT 5, for over come that should use Fiber optics cables.

Old or new building.

EX- The type, technology, ports of Switch and Router & how these characteristics are suitable for our implementation.

When we design structure cables we can use Patch panels & Wall sockets.

What are the internet access technologies that used?

Ex- Internet Lease Line, ADSL, SDSL, IDSL

Future network expansions.

What are the additional devices that commonly used?

Ex- Printers, Scanners & other equipments.

Security and Reliability of the system.

Redundant connection of the network.

Redundant Internet access technologies.

Administrator privilege of the PCs.

Maintain cost

The equipments must have low maintain cost.

Ex-cost of the implementation is high in Fiber optics but maintain cost is low compare to CAT 5 cables.
