TCP/IP is the dominant protocol for communications, media distribution and control within the home technology industry. It is essential to understand both the theory and practice of IP networks in order to design and implement Smart Home systems reliably. In addition, with wireless being asked to handle more demanding applications, it’s also critical that these are designed and implemented in a robust and reliable fashion.

To meet these demands, CEDIA has created a whole suite of IP Networking courses to improve the understanding and skill set of technicians within the industry. In this training pathway, you will learn how to implement TCP/IP connected hardware in many of the situations encountered in the residential environment.

Supported by a CEDIA certified subject matter expert, students will gain a vast amount of both technical knowledge and practical skills. During the workshops attendees will be involved in several hands-on activities designed to practical experience of common ‘on-the-job’ tasks.

 

This training is ideal for:

  • - Developing smart home network technicians.
  • - Technicians with some ‘try it and see’ network experience.
  • - Technicians installing basic smart home / IoT devices.
  • - Technicians preparing for the IST and ESC-N Networking Specialist certification

Key skills you will learn:

  • - Understanding of the 7-layer OSI Model.
  • - Recognising and selecting basic network hardware.
  • - The ‘client / server’ model of network devices.
  • - Network troubleshooting.
  • - Wireless network configuration and testing.
  • - Basic DNS operation.
  • - ‘Cloud’ operations vs. direct remote access. 
  • - Remote access techniques including Dynamic DNS.
  • - Reasons and methods for network segmentation.

About Geoff: With over 30 years of experience in AV, Geoff is one of the most skilled instructors in the industry. He holds all CEDIA certifications, ISF, HAA and Microsoft accreditations and is a specialist in Audio / Video and IP networking. He’s been teaching in AV for nearly twenty years, in both the UK and overseas. To date, he has led classes on six continents.

Geoff’s expertise is called upon for CEDIA awards judging, where he has served as Technical Judge for the last thirteen years, and as Chairman of the awards judging committee for the last seven.

Having started as a technical marketing apprentice with Dutch giant Philips, he went on to work in recording studios as an engineer before landing at AV manufacturer Arcam in the mid 1990s. While there he worked in technical training, brand management and export sales. He managed the US and Canadian markets at the time of the home cinema market’s birth and contributed heavily to Arcam’s product strategy.

In the mid 2000’s he decided to further his knowledge and embarked on a diploma in website development. Completing this in 2009 he started a website development business (prestoav.com) building websites and web-based applications, predominantly for AV and smart home companies. Today, Presto is a successful website builder, with clients such as Monitor Audio, Trinnov, Grahams and Visualization.
