Abstract :
The feasibility of a local area network (LAN) design and implementation for a warehouse/test facility was investigated. The TMS-380-chipset-based token-ring LAN was selected for this facility. Several aspects in the design of this network are examined including network layout, cost, productivity, efficiency, and interoperability. A cost estimate of the various components of the LAN is presented
