ISI is available in hard copy and electronically at EPA s headquarters and regional Hbraries, and through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). The electronic form may be installed on IBM PC-compatible computers or placed on local area networks, and mn under Microsoft WINDOWS or WordPerfect s Library program. The Macintosh version is no longer available. The 1993 update will include the ISI hardcopy, PC disks, and the PC system user manual. EPA also pubHshes ACCESS EPA, which provides sources of information, databases, and pubHcations within the EPA. Chapter 5 of that pubhcation includes important environmental databases in air and soHd waste, pesticides and toxic substances, water, and cross-program (110). EPA also provides databases accessible through EPA Hbraries, which describe the private EPA and commercial databases available to Hbrary users (111). 

Cables are available in a variety of constmctions and materials, in order to meet the requirements of industry specifications and the physical environment. For indoor usage, such as for Local Area Networks (LAN), the codes require that the cables should pass very strict fire and smoke release specifications. In these cases, highly dame retardant and low smoke materials are used, based on halogenated polymers such as duorinated ethylene—propylene polymers (like PTFE or FEP) or poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). Eor outdoor usage, where fire retardancy is not an issue, polyethylene can be used at a lower cost. 

The same concepts of a network as the local area network (LAN) ia an office can be extended over a broader area, eg, wide area network (WAN), effectively to extend the network around the world. This type of network is becoming more important as prepress operations try to work more...

Command modules communicate with other modules through a local area network (LAN). Through this LAN, command modules receive information from the local control modules and store data. These data can be stored from a week to two years, depending on the recording interval and the number of points to be monitored. Unlike host-based systems, which use a central computer to interrogate each command module individually, the computer interface can tap into the network like any other command module. 

Light wave technologies provide a number of special challenges for polymeric materials. Polymer fibers offer the best potential for optical communications in local area network (LAN) applications, because their large core size makes it relatively cheap to attach connectors to them. There is a need for polymer fibers that have low losses and that can transmit the bandwidths needed for LAN applications the aciylate and methacrylate polymers now under study have poor loss and bandwidth performance. Research on monomer purification, polymerization to precise molecular-size distributions, and weU-controlled drawing processes is relevant here. There is also a need for precision plastic molding processes for mass prodnction of optical fiber connectors and splice hardware. A tenfold reduction in the cost of fiber and related devices is necessaiy to make the utilization of optical fiber and related devices economical for local area networks and tlie telecommunications loop. 

There are four main types of architectural options when implementing LIMS [6]. The first is the LAN (local area network) installation. In a multiple-site situation and through the standard client/server setup, the application would be hosted separately on a server at each site connected to PC clients. In this setup, the LIMS are installed on both the clients and the server. System administration is required at each facility.

Computers. A certain number of personal computers are necessary for report generation and regulatory submission preparation. In addition, these may be useful for record keeping, depending on the type of stability information system that the company chooses to use. Alternatively, if the information system is intended to be accessible (read only) to many users, it may be more efficient to develop a local area network of mini-computers. The size of the database will help determine the nature of the software/hardware configuration used for this function.

Any location that has a connection to the SCADA network is a target, especially unmanned or unguarded remote sites. Conduct a physical security survey and inventory access points at each facility that has a connection to the SCADA system. Identify and assess any source of information including remote telephone/ computer network/fiber optic cables that could be tapped radio and microwave links that are exploitable computer terminals that could be accessed and wireless local area network access points. Identify and eliminate single points of failure. The security of the site must be adequate to detect or prevent unauthorized access. Do not allow live network access points at remote, unguarded sites simply for convenience. 

WAP. The WAP provides the wireless data communication service. It usually consists of a housing (which is constructed from plastic or metal depending on the environment it will be used in) containing a circuit board, flash memory that holds software, one of two external ports to connect to existing wired networks, a wireless radio transmitter/receiver, and one or more antenna connections. Typically, the WAP requires a one-time user configuration to allow the device to interact with the local area network (LAN). This configuration is usually done via a Web-driven software application which is accessed via a computer. 

Firewalls may be a piece of hardware, a software program, or an appliance card that contains both. Advanced features that can be incorporated into firewalls allow for the tracking of attempts to log on to the local area network system. For example, a report of successful and unsuccessful log-on attempts may be generated for the computer specialist to analyze. For systems with mobile users, firewalls allow remote access to the private network by the use of secure log-on procedures... 

But it is only one of hundreds of kinds of data that are transferred by HTTP on WANs (Wide Area Networks, LANs (Local Area Networks) and internal networks. HTTP offered an appropriate level of technology at the right time and its use has grown exponentially over the past decade. Virtually every computer in the world today contains an HTTP interpreter and generator (as do many dedicated devices which do not look like computers).

If you don t work in IT (information technology), you probably aren t familiar with what a LAN is. LAN stands for Local Area Network. It s a configuration of several computers within a geographic area that allows for sharing of resources. 

A more recent development is to employ Local Area Networks (LANs) where the LAN is a serial communication link used as a data highway in the DCCS for the integration of intelligent terminals at the higher hierarchical levels. There are two principal types of LAN applicable to DCCS, viz. ...
