2. Deliverables.

1Computer Hardware
In order to effectively use a computer it is important to have a knowledge of some of the important hardware which makes up the computer. One of the basic terms that is necessary to be familiar for discussing some of the hardware is the term "byte". The computer stores data and instructions in storage elements called bits. A group of eight bits is called a byte.
Mother Board - All of the hardware elements plug into a main board called the Mother Board.
Hard disk drive- User files and programs are stored in the computer on the hard disk. Technology in the area of hard disks has changed significantly in the last few years. In the early eighties when personal computers first started to become popular, the size of a hard disk for a computer was approximately 40 MB (mega bytes = 1,000,000 bytes). The sizes of hard disks has steadily been increasing over the years, however, the costs of these disks have decreased significantly over the last two years. Personal computers now come standard with 2.0-4.0 GB (Giga bytes = 1,000,000,000 bytes).
3.5 inch "floppy" disk drives - The term "floppy" originated with 5.25" disks which were relatively flexible. 3.5" disk drives have become the standard media for storing user files. The 3.5" disks have essentially replaced the 5.25" drives which were standard for several years. You can still get 5.25" drives, however the 3.5" drives are essentially the standard format. The 3.5" disks have capacities of 1.44 MB.
Zip Disks - Compression disks which are more durable than "floppy" disks and can hold 100 MB of data. There are also drives which can hold up to 1 GB of compressed data.
CD ROM Drives - CD ROM's have become standard hardware elements on personal computers. The speed of these drives have significantly increased in the last year. Current computers may come with 8X speed CD ROM's. Most current drives are "read only" drives, however "optical drives" are beginning to become more affordable. Optical drives allow reading and writing to CD's. A typical Optical disc can hold approximately 650 MB of data.
DVD Drives - The latest technology in video/audio/data. The potential for data storage substantially exceeds conventional Optical (CD) discs. A single side - single layer of a DVD disc can hold 4.6 GB of data. The discs will probably eventually be double sided/double layered which will allow more than 17 GB per disc. The video is much better than conventional VCR tape and the audio capabilities have 5.1 channels which is better than conventional audio CD.
RAM - The main memory of a computer is referred to as RAM. When you begin using the computer and starting programs and opening user files, the computer loads the programs into RAM which is fast memory that stops the computer from having to access the hard drive for information. Most computers now come standard with 16 MB RAM, however 32 MB RAM or higher are also used on PC's. Large servers may have hundreds or even GB's of RAM.
CPU - The part of the computer that performs operations on the data which is stored in the memory of the computer is called the "central processing unit" (CPU). The technology of the CPU's for personal computers has changed dramatically over the several years. The older technologies of PC chips have been called 286, 386, or 486's. The latest technologies is actually a 586 chip, however it is usually referred to as a pentium chip. Pentium chips are also coming in a Pentium Pro format as well as dual processor configurations. These forms of the Pentium are designed for better performance of file servers or "number crunching" machines. When discussing the speed of a particular chip we also often refer to the "clockspeed" of the chip. This refers to the speed that the chip operates at. The clockspeed is referred to as a 166 Mhz (megahertz) Pentium.
In addition to the above hardware items, different "cards" are also necessary to help the computer interface with elements such as the monitor (computer screen), and possibly a "network". Two such cards that would be used are a video card for the graphics, and an ethernet card that will interface with a "network". A "modem" may also be used to interface with phone lines to allow the user to call up a computer system from a remote location.
Computer Software
In contrast to "hardware", software generally consists of executable programs that provide instructions to be conducted by the CPU. The most fundamental piece of software consists of the "operating system" which allows us to interface with the computer.
DOS - Original PC's (IBM compatibles) predominantly made use of DOS (Disk Operating System). In the mid-1980's there began to be a push to the Window's environment which was similar to the operating system on Macintosh computers. More recent versions of Windows have actually become the operating system. The new Windows operating systems still provide "DOS Prompt" applications, however these systems are actually emulating the DOS environment.
Windows - The Windows environment provides a "Graphical User Interface" (GUI) that allows the user to navigate on the computer by pointing at objects on the screen with a device such as a mouse. The nice feature of a true Windows operating system is that it permits "multi-tasking" which means the user can perform different operations simultaneously. We can open several pieces of software and switch back and forth between the programs. The latest versions of Windows for PC's are Windows NT and Windows 95. The next successor to Windows 95 will probably be Windows 98 which will ship next around May of next year.
MS Excel - Spreadsheet that allows the user to perform calculations on data, write programs within the spreadsheet to manipulate the data, or create graphs as well as a number of other functions.
MS Word - Word processor that allows the user to create documents. The user can create tables with the document or embed figures created with other software.
MS Powerpoint - Program for creating figures or presentations. Allows drawing simple figures or creating "bullet" charts.
Setting up Shortcuts in Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0
In past versions of Windows (Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or less, and Windows NT 3.51 or less), the windows environment consisted of different program groups that contained icons for the different programs. To start the program the user simply moved the pointer for the Mouse over the desired icon and "double-clicked" the left mouse button to start the program. The environment in Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 is quite different than past Windows environments. The programs and control settings can be found by moving the mouse pointer to the lower left hand corner of the screen to the "Start" button which will pop up with additional options. To find a desired program we go to the Programs Menu and an additional pop-up panel appears. We then find the program that we wish to use and select the program with the right mouse button.
Starting programs that we use daily in the manner described above is generally a pain. If we know where the executable (filename.exe) file is located, however, we can form a shortcut to the program. A shortcut to a program is simply an icon on the background which starts the program when double-clicked. This saves us the trouble of having to go to the "Start" button-Programs-Program Group-Program each time that we want to use the program.
We will be using a program named QVTNET32 in the next lab. QVTNET32 is simply a program which has tools for use on a computer network. Two of the programs which are often used are:
TELNET - allows a user to log in to a computer from a remote terminal. However, the telnet session is a command line interface which requires some basic command knowledge of the user.
FTP - File Transfer Protocal - allows a user to send and receive files from a file server. The version of FTP on QVTNET is also a command line interface, however, there are a number of GUI type versions for FTP. One of the more popular versions is WSFTP.
QVTNET32 is located on the server FISH. The path to the executable is //FISH/pubapps/qvtn3988. To create a shortcut to the program, place the mouse cursor on the background (not above an existing icon) and push the right mouse button. A pop-up menu will appear from which you should select (with left mouse button) New and then Shortcut. Once you select Shortcut, a pop-up panel will appear that will allow you to put the pathway to the executable file or "browse" to find the executable. If you select "browse" (recommended), go to the "Network Neighborhood" and choose FISH then pubapps and then qvtn3988. The executable file will usually have a small picture (similar to the icon). Choose QVTNET32 and then select the "Next" button, and finally the "Finish" button. The shortcut icon will appear on the background.
You can move the shortcut anywhere on the background that you wish by placing the pointer over the icon and holding the left mouse button down while you drag the icon to the desired position. To start the program you simply double click on the icon. As we begin to study new pieces of software this semester you will typically want to make new shortcuts to the software.
Networks and Communication
Networks
A network is a collection of computers, communications channels, and appropriate software that allows the computers to communicate with each other in an organized way. Networks are used for a number of reasons. Networks not only make it easier for users, but significantly improve system maintenance for a large number of computer systems.
Local Area Networks (LAN)
•LAN's generally provide local file and printer sharing and electronic mail.
•An example of a LAN is the UH campus and the Engineering College.
Wide Area Networks (WAN)
• A wide are network consists of a diverse collection of computers communicating with each other over long distance, generally over common carrier lines at lower speeds than provided by LAN's.
•WAN's generally provide access to remote files and electronic mail.
•An example of a WAN is the Internet.
FILES and DIRECTORIES
While working on the computer will be using and creating files and directories. Files can take many forms such as a letter or document, text files, program or executable files, utility files, etc. We can usually tell what type of a file we are dealing with by the filename:
filename.ext
filename can be anything but is usually a brief description that tells us what the file is for. In DOS the length of the filename was limited to 8 characters and the extension was limited to 3 characters. This is changing on Windows 95 and Windows NT in which you can have much longer names. The extension (ext) tells us what "type" of file it is:
exe - executable program
txt - text file
doc - MS Word document
dll - Utility file for a program -dynamic link library
ppt - power point file
xls - excel spreadsheet
for - fortran code
The files that we use or create are stored in a Directory structure. You can think of the network system as a large file cabinet and each drawer is a different hard disk on a computer. When we open a drawer there are a number of file folders many of which contain other folders and files. When a file is saved to the hard disk there is a particular path to that file. For example, many of our "application" software will be located on the file servers FISH and BIRD. You can think of BIRD and FISH as two different drawers in the file cabinet. If you open up either of the drawers there are a number of folders in each drawer.
We will often be using the utility program NT Explorer to move around our file cabinet to manipulate files or folders. We can find NT Explorer by moving the mouse cursor to the lower left and corner of the computer screen and pushing the left mouse button which will cause a pop-up window to appear. Select NT Explorer by placing the mouse pointer over NT Explorer and pushing the left mouse button.
If we open up the FISH there are a number of folders many of which have additional folders and files. The lecture notes for this course are located in
\\FISH\UHCOURSES\CIVE 1331\FALL1997\HELWIG\LECTURES
You can also move around the different servers with the software we will be using such as WORD, EXCEL, etc.
Electronic Mail (Email)
We will be using the program Eudora for Email.
Double click on the Eudora Icon to start the program. Open the Special Menu and select Configuration.
Under POP Account put your email address which was given to you. For example:
POP Account: thelwig@tree.egr.uh.edu
Real Name: Anything you wish to be called
SMTP Server: post-office.uh.edu
Return Address: thelwig@tree.egr.uh.edu
Check mail every ____ Minutes
Changing your password on your mail server
1. Double click on the Qvtnet32 shortcut that you made.
2. Double click on the terminal - This starts a telnet session.
If your account is on tree.egr.uh.edu - for hostname use "telnet.egr.uh.edu" (don’t use the "" marks)
Ø login --- put user name - thelwig
Ø password: use the original password given to your account
lonestar> passwd
old password ******
new password (use the same one that you changed to on your NT account)
reconfirm new password
To end the telnet session, type "logout" ( or "exit")
If your account is on jetson.uh.edu put "jetson.uh.edu" for the hostname of the telnet session .
Ø login: put user name - thelwig
Ø password: use original password
Ø set password
old password: use original password
new password: (use the same one that you changed to on your NT account)
To end the telnet session type "logout" ( or try "exit")
From Eudora to send a message select "New Message" from the Message menu.
You can also customize your email to include an automatic signature that includes your phone number or any information that you wish to include with each of your messages that you send. Choose Signature from under the Window Menu.
