The network diagram is a schematic depicting the nodes and connections amongst nodes in a computer network or, more generally, any telecommunications network.
They show what the components of a network are and how they work with each other. Physical Network Diagrams illustrate the relationship between pieces of hardware in a network, while Logical Network Diagrams show the information flow throughout the network. Commonly used symbols in network diagrams include firewall, cloud, server, router, and signal.
Network diagrams, showing the equipment, connections, locations, IP addresses are an essential part of providing training for technicians which is critical to fast fault finding when there is a system failure.
‘As Built Documentation’ is a complete list of documentation and information of the system as it was handed over. This can vary from the original specification, if variations are required during the construction phase. In most cases this will be the result of additions or alterations that were made to improve on the original design.
All data sheets, configuration information and user manuals are included in the equipment specifications folder
As documentation is updated or replaced it can be important to keep previous versions for reference purposes.
