Abstract
The Department of Industrial Technology at the University of North Dakota is involved _in the increased computer use trend. Computer aided drafting, computer aided design, computer numerical control machining, computer controlled robots, and computer aided publishing are all among the growing list of computer applications in the Department. Sharing data between the computers, as well as efficiently utilizing computer peripherals, has become a problem. A local area network was one way to solve the data sharing and peripheral use problem. This study was conducted to develop a local area network for the Department of Industrial Technology, University of North Dakota. Computer network configurations and applications were analyzed by categorizing the characteristics of ten networks which existed in the technical and scientific of CAD, CNC, CIM, CAP, data and information exchange. The Department's office, graphic, and CAD/CIM areas were investigated by observing their physical and working environments.
The results of the analysis and investigation led to the conclusion that the three areas in the Department of Industrial Technology, University of North Dakota, will be better served by a CSMA/CD bus network operating on coaxial cable or fiber optics. developed. A schematic of such a network was
