The Logical Workspace: Customizing Icons and Backgrounds (BG)

Using Custom Icons

Icons that represent devices in Packet Tracer in both Logical and Physical mode can now be customized to an individual users taste. The images used for Physical and Logical mode can be differently customized or the default image can be used for either Logical or Physical with the other being customized. A customized icon must be created by an external painting type of program and saved as either a .PNG or .JPG file. The recommend size of a custom icon is 45 x 31 pixels. If the graphic is of a different size, Packet Tracer will automatically resize the image to fit. So to maintain the best graphic control of the icons it is best to follow the recommended size.

To change an icon for a device, click on the device, which brings up the device configuration pop-up window. On the Physical Configuration Tab below the device image there are two buttons. One changes the icon in Logical Workspace, the other changes the icon in Physical Workspace. To change an icon image in the Logical Workspace follow these steps:

• Click on the device to be customized.
• Click on the Customize Icon in Logical View button.
• Select the image you want by clicking on it or use the browse button to navigate to a new directory and select the image.
• Click on the OK button.

The new icon image is used in place of the default on the Logical Workspace. To change the image back to the default, follow these steps.

• Click on the device to be customized.
• Click on the Customize Image in Logical View button.
• Click on the Reset button.

Configuring Clouds on Packet Tracer

The Config tab offers three general levels of configuration: global, connections, and interface. To configure at the global level, press the GLOBAL button to expand the Settings button (if it has not already been expanded). To configure connections, press the CONNECTIONS button to expand the list of connections, and then choose the connection. To configure an interface, press the INTERFACE button to expand the list of interfaces, and then choose the interface.

Global Settings
The only global setting available for a cloud is its display name.

Connection Settings
You can use the Frame Relay sub-panel to establish Frame Relay connections between sub-links on the ports of the cloud. Configure DLCIs on the serial interfaces first. Then, from the left side, choose a port and one of its sub-links. Then from the right side, choose another port and one of its sub-links. Press the Add button to make a connection between those two sub-links. The connection will now appear on the list. You can remove a connection from the list with the Remove button.
You can also use the DSL or Cable sub-panel to establish connections between modem ports (for DSL) or coaxial ports (for Cable) on the cloud to the Ethernet ports on the cloud. To establish a DSL connection, choose the appropriate modem port on the left-side drop down menu and on the right-side drop down menu choose an Ethernet port which has its Provider Network set to DSL. Press the Add button to make the connection. You can remove a connection from the list with the Remove button. To establish a Cable connection, choose the appropriate coaxial port on the left-side drop down menu and on the right-side choose an Ethernet port which has its Provider Network set to Cable.

Interface Configuration
Clouds can support four interface types: modem, Ethernet, coaxial, and serial. For a modem port, you can set a Phone Number which another device with a modem port can dial. For an Ethernet port, you can set the Provider Network to either DSL or Cable. For a coaxial port, there are no settings to configure. For a serial port, you can toggle its Port Status, choose an LMI (ANSI, Cisco, or Q933a), and assign DLCIs to the interface. To add a DLCI, enter an identifying number and a name for it, and then press the Add button to add it to the list. You can remove a DLCI from the port with the Remove button.

Wireless Links on Packet Tracer

You can establish wireless links between access points and end devices (PCs, servers, and printers). To establish a link, simply remove the existing module on an end device, insert a wireless module, and turn on the device. The device will automatically try to associate itself with an access point. Typically, this means it will associate (physically) with the nearest access point. See the Wireless Devices page under the Physical Workspace section for more information regarding distances. However, if two or more access points are in the same closet, the distance from any access point to any end device is essentially the same. In this case, an end device will associate with the access point that was created first. Recall that the logical topology does not reflect physical distances, and everything that is created in the Logical Workspace is initially placed in the same wiring closet in the Physical Workspace. The process for establishing wireless links between Linksys routers and end devices with Linksys network modules is similar, but described elsewhere.

Connection / Links on Packet Tracer

As quoted from Packet tracer Help, that Generally Packet Tracer supports a wide range of network connections. Each cable type can only be connected to certain interface types.

1. Console

Console connections can be made between PCs and routers or switches. Certain conditions must be met for the console session from the PC to work: the speed on both sides of the connection must be the same, the data bits must be 7 for both or 8 for both, the parity must be the same, the stop bits must be 1 or 2 (but they do not have to be the same), and the flow control can be anything for either side.

2. Copper Straight-through

This cable type is the standard Ethernet media for connecting between devices that operate at different OSI layers (such as hub to router, switch to PC, router to hub). It can be connected to the following port types: 10 Mbps Copper (Ethernet), 100 Mbps Copper (Fast Ethernet), and 1000 Mbps Copper (Gigabit Ethernet).

3. Copper Cross-over

This cable type is the Ethernet media for connecting between devices that operate at the same OSI layer (such as hub to hub, PC to PC, PC to printer). It can be connected to the following port types: 10 Mbps Copper (Ethernet), 100 Mbps Copper (Fast Ethernet), and 1000 Mbps Copper (Gigabit Ethernet).

4. Fiber

Fiber media is used to make connections between fiber ports (100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps).

5. Phone

Phone line connections can only be made between devices with modem ports. The standard application for modem connections is an end device (such as a PC) dialing into a network cloud.

6. Coaxial

Coaxial media is used to make connections between coaxial ports such as a cable modem connected to a Packet Tracer Cloud.

7. Serial DCE and Serial DTE

Serial connections, often used for WAN links, must be connected between serial ports. Note that you must enable clocking on the DCE side to bring up the line protocol. The DTE clocking is optional. You can tell which end of the connection is the DCE side by the small “clock” icon next to the port. If you choose the Serial DCE connection type and then connect two devices, the first device will be the DCE side and the second device will be automatically set to the DTE side. The reverse is true if you choose the Serial DTE connection type.

Tips agar tidak terkena batasan kuota pada modem AHA Update 12/09/11

Setelah membahas Tips agar tidak terkena batasan kuota pada modem AHA beberapa hari yang lalu. Beberapa waktu lalu ane baca di blog temen bahwa bisa juga dengan langkah berikut:

1. Pastikan anda belum terkena batasan koneksi dari AHA (masih cepet)
2. Sebelum mengkoneksikan ke internet dengan menggunakan AHA Dialer anda harus membuka Windows Explorer > cari File ATRecord yang terletak di C:\Program Files\AHA Dialer\Log
3. Buka ATRecord dan hapus semua isinya dan simpan kembali.
4. Jika anda mengalami kesulitan dalam menyimpan, anda bisa memilih opsi save as dengan menamai file tersebut dengan nama yang sama yaitu ATRecord (alias Replace it).
5. Buka aplikasi AHA dialer dan koneksikan ke internet tanpa khawatir terkena Kuota.

Tips ini bisa diaplikasikan dengan memakai aha dialer dan khusus untuk langkah ke-4, anda harus rutin menghapusnya sebelum mengkoneksikan ke internet. Karena jika anda tidak menghapusnya maka anda akan terkena kuota.
Begitulah kira-kira tambahan tipsnya. Semoga bermanfaat dan silakan dicoba jika mau.
