INFORMATION SHEET 2.3-1
Client Device Systems
Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:
1. Identify What is Client Device Systems
2. Configure Client Device Systems
Introduction
Client Device Settings is a way of configuring your client device by
which you can specify client settings at a collection level, allowing you to
define different settings as necessary. It has the characteristics of being
flexible to create multiple client device or client user settings and apply it to
different collections as per requirement. It is a set of default settings. But
always take note that those Client Device systems settings are configured in
accordance with manufacturers’ instructions and end-user preferences. In
this module, we will show the steps on setting up your client device on
Windows 7 & 10 which are configured manually.
Always take note on the following area’ s to be configured:

1. Set up Time and Date
2. Set up Computer Name
3. Install and Configure Network Driver
4. Install necessary software application e.i MS Office and Anti virus
Configure Client Device Systems

Steps on How to Configure Client Device Settings:
1. Setting up Time and Date

Note: Setting up your Computer Name is important. This will serve as the
Identity of your computer. It will be useful when it comes on setting up your
Computer Network. The Server/The Network will identify what PC is being
connected or configured.
3. Install and Configure Network Driver

a. In every computer, it is necessary to install a network driver
so that your computer will have an access on every network
connection it may need. The first step to do is to select a
compatible network driver for your PC. You can use the
driver that is packed along with your computer or you can
simply download the correct network driver over the internet.
To search for a driver online, you need to know the brand
and exact model of your computer for example “Acer V5-
473PG network driver” in my case.
b. To make it easier, you can simply download the DriverPack
Solution software. This software automatically detects your
hardware and provide you the correct drivers to be installed.
After the installation of your network driver, you are ready to configure your
network. To configure the network of your PC, Right-click on your network
connection icon. You'll see this in your System Tray at bottom right corner
of you screen. Think of an IP address as a mailing address. Each computer
on the network needs a unique IP address so that information sent across
the network reaches the correct destination.

LAN Configuration
Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet, you should be able to:
1. To identify What is Local Area Network
2. Configure Local Area Network
Introduction
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated
devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to
a server. Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals
connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an
office or a commercial establishment. Computers and other mobile
devices use a LAN connection to share resources such as a printer or
network storage.

Equipment/Pepripherals Name Image

and Description
A personal computer (PC) is a
computer small and low cost, which
is intended for personal use (or for
use by a small group of
individuals). The term "personal
computer" is used to describe
desktop computers (desktops). It is
often shortened to the acronym PC
or microcomputer, whose meaning
in English is "personal computer".
It is a very common type of
machines.

Ethernet Cable often referred to as
a wired connection to the Internet,
an Ethernet cable can be any of
several common network cables
used to access the web.
Local area networks, referred to as

LANs, need Ethernet cables to
connect to personal computers and
routers. Ethernet cables support
either Category 5 (CAT5) or
Category 6 (CAT6) industry
standards, sometimes both.
Different types of network cables,
such as coaxial cable, optical fiber
cable, and twisted pair cables, are
used depending on the network's
physical layer, topology, and size.
The devices can be separated by a
few meters (e.g. via Ethernet) or
nearly unlimited distances (e.g. via
the interconnections of the
Internet).
Router is a device that analyzes the
contents of data packets
transmitted within a network or to
another network. Routers
determine whether the source and
destination are on the same
network or whether data must be
transferred from one network type
to another, which requires
encapsulating the data packet with
routing protocol header information
for the new network type.

Switch/Hub is short for port-
switching hub, a special type of hub
that forwards packets to the
appropriate port based on the

Modem is a hardware device that

allows a computer to send and
receive data over a telephone line or
a cable or satellite connection.
When Equipment’s and Peripherals are all ready, we will now proceed
on Installing and Configuring Local Area Network. Below are steps in
configuring Local Area Network.
1. Prepare your Workplace

It must be clean and dry. Work on a spacious table. Do not forget to
apply the OHS policies and procedures.
2. Determine the number of computers you want to connect.
The number of computers you're connecting will determine the type of
network hardware you'll need.
• If you are connecting four or less computers, you'll just need
a single router or one switch if you don't need internet.
• If you're connecting more than four computers, you'll want
a router and a switch, or just a switch if you don't need
internet.
3. Determine your network layout.
If you’ re installing a permanent LAN solution, you'll want to keep
cable length in mind. CAT5 Ethernet cables should not run longer
than 250 feet. If you need to cover larger distances, you'll need
switches at regular intervals, or you'll need to use CAT6 cables.

a. You'll need one Ethernet cable for each computer you want to
connect to the LAN, as well as an Ethernet cable to connect the
router to the switch (if applicable).
4. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into your computer.
Make sure you're using an Ethernet cable (RJ45), not a telephone
cable.
5. Plug the other end of the cable into an open LAN port.
This can be any open LAN port on either the router or the switch,
depending on your LAN setup.
6. Reset the Router. In resetting your Router just click the small button
on the back of your router using a Pin or Ballpen and wait until all the
icons in front of the Router will Lights on this usually takes 10-15
seconds, depending on the brand of the router. See figure below.

WAN Configuration
Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, you should be able to:
1. To identify What is Wide Area Network

2. To configure Wide Area Network
Introduction
A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically distributed private
telecommunications network that interconnects multiple local area networks
(LANs). In an enterprise, a WAN may consist of connections to a company's
headquarters, branch offices, colocation facilities, cloud services and other
facilities. Typically, a router or other multifunction device is used to connect
a LAN to a WAN. Enterprise WANs allow users to share access to
applications, services and other centrally located resources. This eliminates
the need to install the same application server, firewall or other resource in
multiple locations, for example.
Configure Wide Area Network

As we gather all the peripherals and equipment needed we will proceed on
Configuring Wide Area Network. Same process with Router but this time we
will use Modem or the Access Point. See steps listed below:
1. Gather your Modem, Ethernet Cable and Personal Computer. Connect

each peripheral using the Ethernet Cable. Directly connect Modem/Access
Point to your Personal Computer using the Ethernet Cable. This will just be
use for the setting up processes.

Wireless Settings Configuration
Learning Objective:
1. To identify what is Wireless Network?

2. To enumerate steps in Configuring Wireless Settings
Introduction
Wireless networks are computer networks that are not connected by cables
of any kind. The use of a wireless network enables enterprises to avoid the
costly process of introducing cables into buildings or as a connection
between different equipment locations. The basis of wireless systems are
radio waves, an implementation that takes place at the physical level of
network structure.
Wireless networks use radio waves to connect devices such as laptops to the
Internet, the business network and applications. When laptops are
connected to Wi-Fi hot spots in public places, the connection is established
to that business’s wireless network.
There are four main types of wireless networks:
1. Wireless Local Area Network (LAN): Links two or more devices using
a wireless distribution method, providing a connection through access
points to the wider Internet.
2. Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN): Connects several
wireless LANs.
3. Wireless Wide Area Network (WAN): Covers large areas such as
neighboring towns and cities.
4. Wireless Personal Area Network (PAN): Interconnects devices in a
short span, generally within a person’s reach.
Configure wireless settings

After configuring the Router and Modem we will now proceed on
setting up the wireless network.

1. First, we need to check whether you have a wireless adapter.
a. Select the Start button, type Device Manager in the search
box, and then select Device Manager.
b. Expand Network adapters.
c. Look for a network adapter that might have wireless in the name.
2. Setting up the modem and Internet connection

After you have all the equipment, you'll need to set up your modem
and Internet connection. If your modem wasn't set up for you by your
Internet service provider (ISP), follow the instructions that came with your
modem to connect it to your PC and the Internet. If you're using Digital
Subscriber Line (DSL), connect your modem to a phone jack. If you’ re using
cable, connect your modem to a cable jack.

3. Positioning the wireless router
Put your wireless router somewhere where it will send and receive the
strongest signal with the least amount of interference. For better results,
follow these tips:
a. Place your wireless router in a central location. Place the router
as close to the center of your home as possible to increase the
strength of the wireless signal throughout your home.
b. Position the wireless router off the floor and away from walls
and metal objects, such as metal file cabinets. The fewer physical
obstructions between your PC and the router's signal, the more likely
that you'll be using the router's full signal strength.
Securing your wireless network

Security is always important; with a wireless network, it's even more
important because your network's signal could be broadcast outside your
home. If you don't help secure your network, people with PCs nearby could
access info stored on your network PCs and use your Internet connection.
To help make your network more secure:
Change the default user name and password.

This helps protect your router. Most router manufacturers have a default
user name and password on the router and a default network name (also
known as the SSID). Someone could use this info to access your router
without you knowing it. To help avoid that, change the default user name
and password for your router. See the documentation for your device for
instructions.
Set up a security key (password) for your network.

Wireless networks have a network security key to help protect them from
unauthorized access. We recommend using Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2)
security if your router supports it. See the documentation for your router for
more detailed info, including what type of security is supported and how to
set it up.
Some routers support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). If your router supports
WPS and its connected to the network, follow these steps to set up a
network security key:
1. Select the Start button, look for Control Panel and click Network and
Internet. Then look for Network and Sharing Center.

2. Select Set up a new connection or network.

3. Select Set up a new network, and then choose Next.
The wizard will walk you through creating a network name and a security
key. If your router supports it, the wizard will default to Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA or WPA2) security. We recommend that you use WPA2,
because it offers better security than WPA or Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) security. With WPA2 or WPA you can also use a passphrase, so you
don’t have to remember a cryptic sequence of letters and numbers. Write
down your security key and keep it in a safe place. You can also save
your security key on a USB flash drive by following the instructions in the
wizard. (Saving your security key to a USB flash drive is available in
Windows 8 and Windows 7, but not in Windows 10.)
Connect a PC to your wireless network
1. Select the Network or icon in the notification area.

Security/Firewall and Advanced Settings Configuration
Learning Objective:
1. To identify What is Firewall with Advanced Security
2. To enumerate steps in Configuring Firewall with Advanced Security
Introduction
The Windows Firewall is a Microsoft Windows application that filters

information coming to your system from the Internet and blocking
potentially harmful programs. The software blocks most programs from
communicating through the firewall. Users simply add a program to the list
of allowed programs to allow it to communicate through the firewall. When
using a public network, Windows Firewall can also secure the system by
blocking all unsolicited attempts to connect to your computer.
A firewall is hardware or software that can help protect your PC from

unauthorized users or malicious software (malware). Running a firewall on
each PC on your network can help control the spread of malicious software
on your network, and help protect your PCs when you're accessing the
Internet. Windows Firewall is included with this version of Windows.
Setting Up Firewall with Advanced Security
Windows Firewall – Control Panel

Basic Windows firewall settings can be modified through Control Panel >
System and Security > Windows Firewall, as shown below. This interface
can also be accessed through PowerShell or Command Prompt by entering
‘firewall.cpl’.
Document No.
Developed by:
Setting up Computer
From here we can graphically view the status of the firewall for the domain,
private, and public profiles. These different profiles are used depending on
your current network connection. For example, if you’re joined to an Active
Directory domain, the rules applied in the domain profile will be used, while
if you’re connected to a public wireless network the settings in the public
profile will be used.
In this example, we can see the domain profile is listed as connected, as

we’re currently connected to the example.com domain.
To access the advanced settings, you can select the advanced settings link
from this menu on the left from within Windows Firewall.
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

As mentioned above, we can open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
by clicking the advanced settings button in Windows Firewall. We can also
run ‘wf.msc’ in either PowerShell or Command Prompt to open the advanced
security interface directly. The image below shows the advanced security
interface after opening.
Document No.
Developed by:
Setting up Computer
On this window we can see an overview of the domain, private, and public
profiles, which by default should all be enabled and blocking inbound traffic
and allowing outbound traffic.
From the menu on the left we can select either inbound or outbound rules.
As all outbound is allowed by default, we’ll focus on inbound rules here.
Connection security rules can also be setup to configure IPSec connections,
and monitoring can be used to log various firewall events.
Under inbound and outbound rules we can view the rules that exist and
that are currently enabled. These rules are available by default, rules with a
green tick icon on the left are enabled and will allow traffic in while rules
with no icon are disabled.
Document No.
Developed by:
Setting up Computer
A rule that is disabled can be enabled by simply right clicking it and
selecting enable. Likewise, we can right click an enabled rule and change it
to disabled. We can also view the properties of the rule by right clicking it
and selecting properties. This will allow you to see what the rule is actually
doing, including the ports that are being allowed through the firewall to
specific programs, we’ll see this in more detail next when we create our own
rule.
Create a Firewall Rule
Select Inbound Rules from the menu on the left and then select New Rule
from the actions pane on the right. This will open the new inbound rule
wizard. From here we can select if we want to create a rule for a specific
program, to a specific port, or based off of an existing rule. In this case we’ll
select custom as this gives us the most choice.
Document No.
Developed by:
Setting up Computer
On the next screen we can select the specific program or service that the
firewall should allow traffic in for. In this case we’ll just select all programs,
however note that this can be used to further lock down a rule, rather than
just allowing based on port/IP address we can also only allow traffic to a
specific program.
Next we can select the port and protocol that the rule should apply to. There
are many different protocols to select from in the drop down, in this example
we’re specifying that local TCP port 9000 should be allowed through the
firewall. We use local port here as port 9000 is available locally on this
server and listening for connections.
Document No.
Developed by:
Setting up Computer
Now we can select an IP address or range of addresses that are allowed in
through our firewall rule. In this case I’m allowing the remote address range
192.168.0.0/24 in through the firewall, so only this IP range will be allowed
to connect to the server on TCP port 9000.
At this point we specify if we want to allow or deny the rule that we’re
creating, we’ll leave this on allow as we want to let 192.168.0.0/24 in on
TCP port 9000, however we could optionally explicitly block this instead. We
could also optionally only allow the connection if it’s secure, which relies on
IPSec being configured.
Document No.
Developed by:
Setting up Computer
We can select which firewall profiles our new rule applies to. By default, all
profiles are selected, however you can change this as per your requirements.
Finally, we can specify a name and optional description to identify our rule.
Once complete click finish, noting that as soon as you do this the rule will
be live as per how you have configured it.
Document No.
Developed by:
Setting up Computer
Our new rule will now show at the top of the inbound rule list above all of
the default rules. We can identify it by its name and see briefly what it’s
doing, it’s allowing the remote address range 192.168.0.0/24 into the local
port 9000 with the protocol TCP on all profiles and is enabled.
By creating custom firewall rules such as this we can successfully configure

windows firewall with advanced security.
Summary: We can configure very basic firewall rules with Windows Firewall,
however Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is used to create much
more custom and granular rules as we have seen here.
