Nt1310 Unit 1 Assignment 1 Application 1

Introduction:
Application (1):
The purpose of the first application is to demonstrate that you can control many things from a distance instead of being at the actual location of the object. You can do this from a different location using the internet or onsite using the Local Area Network. This is done by connecting the object be it a nuclear power plant or a simple light bulb to a computer. Via the internet this can then be controlled from a far location. The equipment we used to perform this demonstration are a light, bell, relay, Data Acquisition device, and a computer that has the correct software installed. The local area network we set up on the main computer (the server) would bridge the way for operating the object from a distant location using the internet. We showed this by turning a light and a bell on and off using the computer directly connected to them (the server) and from another computer using the Internet.
A router is basically a device used to connect several computers or devices to a network and makes sure the data transmitted from one computer to another reaches the correct computer. Setting up the router is very straightforward. It is divided into two parts: (1) connecting physical equipment, (2) setting up software. All we needed to do this is a router, DSL modem, PC, and an Ethernet cable. The physical set up consists of connecting the router to the computer and the DSL modem. The rest is set up using the software that is accessed from the computer that is connected to the
