With most residential subsystems now depending on an IP network, this is arguably the most important topic for Smart Home technicians.

CEDIA’s Residential Networking course will provide attendees with the foundation for understanding IP (the Internet Protocol). Starting from the ground up, the course will increase attendees IP networking knowledge, and clarify the common network protocols such as TCP, IP, DHCP, DNS, and NAT. Attendees will also understand the functions of a consumer router in a wired environment and begin basic troubleshooting in a consumer level IP network.

During this course students will carry out hands-on exercises to both test and expand on what they have learned. This course will cover the basic IP Networking knowledge of required for the IST certification exam.
