Legacy Networks
New Experiment
In the Simulation menu select New Legacy Networks
For example, to arrive Pure Aloha,
In the Simulation menu select New Legacy Networks Pure Aloha.
Create Scenario
Adding Node:
- Click on the Node icon in the tool bar and click and drop inside the grid. (Note: This is applicable for Pure Aloha and Slotted Aloha)
- Nodes cannot be connected directly to each other because an intermediate connecting component (such as Hub or Concentrator) is required. (Note: This is applicable for CSMA/CD, Token Bus and Token Ring)
Adding Hub:
- Click on the Hub icon in the tool bar and click it onto the environment. By default a Hub has 24 ports. (Note: This is applicable for CSMA/CD and Token Bus).
Adding Concentrator:
- Click on the Concentrator icon in the tool bar and click it onto the environment. By default a Concentrator consists of 24 ports. (Note: This is applicable for Token Ring).
