This course is designed for individuals who wish to design complex network systems as well as troubleshoot networks with Wireshark®. Students will set up complex Carrier networks, troubleshoot networks, and create a secure i-Vu® site. They will also focus on troubleshooting an i-Vu system by reading and understanding a Wireshark capture. The dynamic BACnet® binding process is also featured in this course.

The Networking Essentials course has been developed for individuals that are required to design complex network systems as well as troubleshoot networks with Wireshark. Learners will efficiently understand the installation, configuration, and be able to troubleshoot IP and serial-based networks.

Training Methods Used

Traditional Classroom: A live instructor will lead up to 12 students (course dependent) in hands-on exercises with minimal lecture in between. Using the situated learning techniques of the Kirkpatrick Model, this methodology fosters a collaborative learning environment where students are positioned to maximize knowledge retention. This course is a 2-day event.

eLearning: A Virtual instructor will lead students with the same content as the Traditional classroom. The students will have remote access to a training station to complete hands-on tasks, giving them a virtual classroom experience from many miles away. During the timeframe of the course, the student will have access to the instructor where they will be able to ask questions and communicate via live video feed. This course is hosted in the timeframe as the traditional classroom training.
