Networking I
Course Overview
This course covers setup and troubleshooting techniques affiliated with basic Automated Logic networks. In addition, students will build source trees, define, and identify the fundamentals of IP, ARC156, and MS/TP networks, and gain an understanding of how these concepts allow devices to communicate. Students will also learn the basics of Wireshark captures, clippings, and BACnet Discovery. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to properly set up and troubleshoot basic Automated Logic networks, including gathering Wireshark captures of IP traffic at the server, as well as IP and ARC156 traffic at devices.

- Gathering network diagnostic captures
- Discover BACnet networks, controllers, and objects
Prerequisites
None.
Networking I
If you have little or no experience with ARC156, MS/TP, or IP networks this class is for you. The Networking I course has been developed for individuals that install and configure structured networks with the BACnet protocol.
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.
Instructor-Led eLearning
A live instructor will lead students using video conferencing and remote access software. The student will have remote access to a training station to complete hands-on tasks, giving them a virtual classroom experience from many miles away. This course is hosted in the same 2-day timeframe and manner as the traditional classroom format.
Video-Led Virtual
The video-led virtual training allows the student to take up to 9 business days to complete the equivalent of a 1-3-day, instructor-led course. Using video tutorials as the instructor, students will execute the workbook tasks and upload assignments using the Automated Logic Training Portal, asking questions through the discussion board where a dedicated instructor will facilitate. This format also offers “instructor hours” where students have live contact with a certified instructor and other registered students.
