Abstract
This poster describes techniques for establishing a Data Communications Laboratory in the small to mid-sized university. The experience for the poster was gained in the building of a lab funded by a NSF-ILI grant.. We provide a tactical approach to the lab and a discussion of the physical environment and basic equipment requirements. Special interest is devoted to sources of assistance for equipment procurement, as well as how to lower both hardware and software costs. Included are the capabilities of the suggested lab for teaching the major network operating systems. The security aspects required by the laboratory are also covered.The type of Data Communications Laboratory described in the poster can be established with a minimum of funds and using excess or donated equipment. It will provide students some hands-on experience with data communications and establish the lab as a reality from which to expand to ever changing technologies. One secret of success in this effort is to make the establishment of a lab, a rallying point between the Faculty, students and university's Instructional Technology Department. Students should be involved in all steps of the planning and installation. The students involved with the project will be happy to be taking part in an effort that will add an effective hands-on approach to their data communications courses.
