OHS Standards

What did you learn regarding the OHS in computer system servicing?

I've learned about the 10 proper guidelines for Occupational Health and Safety standards.

This standard is making the operation of an occupation safely as possible. In a workplace, hazards are always present, thus, in order to avoid any possible danger or risk, one must apply the guidelines of OHS. Also, OHS has 5s: sort, set an order, shine, standardize, and sustain. 

How To Configure Straight Through Cable

What are the similarity/similarities of Straight Through cable and Crossover Cable?

❤️💯Both cables are used to connect devices. We use Straight Through cable for connecting dissimilar devices such as a Computer and a Router, while Crossover configuration is for connecting similar devices like a Computer to a Computer. Before making a cable for connection, you must determine if it's either a connection between same devices or a connection for different devices.

Steps for Configurating a Crossover Cable:

What you'll need:

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable
Modular connector (8P8C plug, aka RJ45)
Crimping tool
Cable tester (optional, but recommended)

Step 1: Strip the cable jacket about 1.5 inch down from the end.


Step 2: Spread the four pairs of twisted wire apart. For Cat 5e, you can use the pull string to strip the jacket farther down if you need to, then cut the pull string. Cat 6 cables have a spine that will also need to be cut.


Step 3: Untwist the wire pairs and neatly align them in the T568B orientation. Be sure not to untwist them any farther down the cable than where the jacket begins; we want to leave as much of the cable twisted as possible.

Step 4: Cut the wires as straight as possible, about 0.5 inch above the end of the jacket.

Step 5: Carefully insert the wires all the way into the modular connector, making sure that each wire passes through the appropriate guides inside the connector.

Step 6: Push the connector inside the crimping tool and squeeze the crimper all the way down.

Step 7: Repeat steps 1-6 for the other end of the cable.

Step 8: To make sure you've successfully terminated each end of the cable, use a cable tester to test each pin.

That's it. For crossover cables, simply make one end of the cable a T568A and the other end a T568B. Now you can make Ethernet cables of any length, fix broken connectors, or make yourself a crossover cable. Happy crimping!

Create Straight Through Cable with Router Set-Up

REFLECTION

Creating a Straight Through Cable:

1. Prepare your UTP Cable, RJ45, Crimping Tool, and Wire Stripper.
2. Using the Wire Stripper, cut or remove the outer jacket of the Cable.
3. After that, arrange the smaller wires that is now exposed and refer to the color codes of the Straight Through.
4.  Insert the wires to the RJ45 with you facing the metals of the RJ45. And then Crimp using the Crimping Tool. Make  sure that the colors are according to the Straight Through Cable color codes.
5. Test it out using a Cable Tester!

Setting up a Wireless-N Router

1. Find the IP address of the router.
2. Open a web browser on the computer that is connected to the router.
3. Enter your username and password.
4. Open the Wireless Settings.
5. Enter a name for your wireless network.
6. Choose a security method.
7. Create a passphrase.
8. Save your settings.

I would rate myself 10 out of 10, because I did it well with my partner and with the help of our Adviser. Setting up your own network is as easy as 1-2-3! But! Be sure to follow all the instructions so that your network will function well. And be cautious of the electricity.
