In a ring topology, nodes are arranged in the transmission path such that data goes through each successive station before it goes back to its point of origin. In this topography, the nodes form a closed circle. A small packet (token) can be passed across the network. When this is done in sequence, all the nurses will put some information into the network. A particular station takes the token and replaces it with a frame of data. In a ring topology, only the addressee can claim the message. A central node will be used as the central coordinating and processing point for the network. In case the health practitioners want to send the information to different receivers in the network, they can use the central node (hub). Network devices ï‚· Shared hardware resources The local area network needs to be designed in such a way that it offers the highest productivity. A router is a networking device that is used for routing dissimilar and similar networks. A router is more potent than a bridge since it checks the network addresses and protocols. Other devices such as switches will also be needed to facilitate communication. ï‚· Network workstations The LAN aims to enable the caregivers to work collaboratively to improve the quality of service offered to patients.
