1. Introduction

Private Gymnastics Club is a well established in Singapore as well as in Thailand. All

our coaches and staffs are well trained can offer qualified coaching in our well
equipped gym. For more than 5 years, Private Gymnastics has been dedicated to the
development of gymnastics in Singapore. Our motto 'charm, Courage, power' reflects
our tradition of giving every gymnast the right skill to progress to the highest level
they are capable of achieving. Because of our dedication and the quality of our
coaching, Private Gymnastics has become the biggest private gymnastics club, both
in terms of available training area and numbers of athletes, in Singapore.

we have developed a team of coaches and our staff that is dynamic, attentive and
consistent and that is committed to developing the gym through hard work and fun.
They are supported by an enthusiastic management committee and the voluntary
efforts of the gymnast's parents that help to develop a family atmosphere in the club.
As part of our commitment to excellence we have recruited coaches from around the
world. The international nature of the coaching team means that we can bring
different perspective and attitudes to the development of our gymnasts.

2. Current system

Private Gymnastic Club is more popular in Thailand and Singapore in very few years’
time. Private Gymnastic Club is providing good facility to many of customers and
visitor in a day. Currently, private gymnastic Club has Gym, swimming; Biking,
Running, and so many other facilities are there. Due to lot of facilities, Private
Gymnastics Club maintains every day record of the member and the visitor profile
detail manually. They need a computerized system to maintain their daily new user
profile record more efficiently and accurately.

Summary the information can be found from currently system:

1. Manual way to register (Log book)

2. Some time Excel file to use to register

private Gymnastic Club plan to setup a Small networks system to make a link with
Singapore and Thailand Club. Also they want a system to directly upgrade the data
which can be shown to staff, employers and members of Club.

3. Problem with Current System

There are a lot of disadvantages in the current system network infrastructure in the
Private Gymnastic Club

• Private Gymnastics club has to handle the user profile and update user
information and new registration manually.
• Private Gymnastic Club is the handling the customer record profile manually,
which makes some wrong filling of user name as well as the inaccurate data,
which might takes a lot time.
• When there is so much rush at Private Gymnastic club on weekend time, then it is
hard to find the customer profile whether customer registered with club or not. So
many Customers complained about this problem.
• Private Gymnastic Club is also facing the incomplete record of their customer.
• Private Gymnastics club doesn't have any proper network system. So they don't
use the database of all users and their current location. Staff can’t check local
member of club and also check overseas Club. This makes trouble to club staff
and administrator to manage the system.
• Another problem with Private Gymnastics club is that, they mostly do telephone call
to communicate between with the members and also call to Thailand club to check
the database. Actually it is not effective way to accomplish. So sometimes it makes
so much difficult to access and store proper data. We don't have any proper network
to share the data or information to other club and members. By using Bus topology
networks, we can reduce time consuming and also easy for club staff to run the
proper Private Gymnastic Club.

4. Advantages of Current System

Page 5 of 16
Networking Essential (L3-IT207) I/D: 018800009035

Private Gymnastic Club needs a system of bus topology network, which would give a
proper channel to keep record of the employee, members and visitors information.
The bus topology networks will be using in private gymnastic club, which will give
private Gymnastic updated information, share information and reducing time
consuming. Bus topology requires a less cable and it give staff easy to add another
workstation. In addition, It will share and send the important email. That’s why, we
decided to install LANs network inside Club, by which each of staff of Private
Gymnastic club will connect with each others.
It will reduce important workforces, and others added expenses. When Club will
update the data and information go through the essential computer. Club can share
the files or member data on the network instead of keeping the record in files. This
bus topology could work well in small network.
The proposed system allows Club staff to register new member or visitor, inactive
and delete record, when needed and there after active member can use Club. This
data will be updating on the system, which can be show every one on the network.
• To provide profile record form service where anytime and customers can
update information.
• The customer profile record form will be simple to use. Staff can log on to the
user profile form service easily and after filling the form. It will show the profile.
• Staff can save the details of the member to do order form and auto backup not
easy lost data. And save time and save cost when we through internet. 4.
Activities
Private Gymnastic Club will run proper by using the networks system, which is more
necessary for communicate through with Thailand Club and updated data would be
the major goal. Private Gymnastic Club can be centralizing the computers in a
specific place. Due to this club has decided to implement the proper network system
in the club for additional benefit and to be well updated in the staff, members and
visitor data.
5. Bus Topology for Private Gymnastic Club

Private Gymnastic Club will arrange to develop a network in two ways. therefore, the
number of workstation will be increase from 5 to 10 for staff and employer of private
gymnastic club. Club just needs one server and it would facilitate the Private
Gymnastic Club staffs totake the print out of papers or share data between the
networks by connecting with the server. This bus topology will send the data at the
same time.

The server will have to give backup the key file; document and data for example club
staff information, members, visitors and activities in club.

By using the Bus topology, all workstation, fax or printers, will be connect with the
network. Through which all can use these faculties in the club. The main purpose of
using the bus topology because if there is a failure in one workstation which does not
affects any other workstation. In Bus topology we can easily locate node and cable
failure one of them. Only we need one main cable from the main PC to connect with
the each of PC network interface card (NIC), which also connect to workstation to the
LAN.
For Private Gymnastic Club, bus topology is best for WAN application, by which
remote offices can be exchange data with a main office.

The main benefit of the bus topology is easy to use on a small level and extend allow
relatively high rate of data transmission.

6.2 Disadvatages of Bus Topoclogy System

• The Management cost always be too high

• Limited user and cable length

• Two nodes are required to transmitting data at same time when network to detect.

• Some time it is difficult to troubleshoot.

• Subject to congestion from network traffic.

7. Bus Topology Network Parts

7.1 WAN and LAN link with Network

All the WAN links will be using SingTel lines which can give up to 10mbps in transfer
speed.

WAN lines we using the:

• Internet Service Provider(ISP)

• VPN based extranets

• IP address

Two SingTel links will be using the company to provide redundancy and each SingTel
link at the centre office.

For the LAN links, our centre office will be using Fast Ethernet links.

LAN lines we using the:

This cable not affect the rest of the LAN when the center of the BNC ”T” is disconnect
from the card.

8. Networking Management

We need to manage our network to optimize the performance while protecting

sensitive, share data and important data.

First thing, we use the 10Base2 thinnet coaxial cable to connect the network with
each other.

Second thing, we will using software based and hardware based firewall to protect
the entire network. For our company network, we will using strong anti-virus to protect
our file and important data when we download something. VPN will help the
authentication of the user, to encrypt data, integrity and confidentity data.
