IOT Setup Case Study: Smart Office Network Design, Gold Grabbers

This case study assignment focuses on designing and implementing an IOT smart office network for a client named "Hoarders" with offices in Perth and Kalgoorlie. The student, acting as a Network Engineer, is tasked with configuring various smart devices like ceiling fans, windows, doors, and environmental sensors, ensuring they are wirelessly connected and secured. The setup involves a registration server, tablet devices for control, and a wireless router. The assignment requires the student to configure device attributes, use DNS for access, analyze network protocols, and establish remote access and control from the Kalgoorlie office. Furthermore, it includes setting up conditional automations based on environmental factors like CO2 levels and wind speed. The solution covers device costs, configurations, and the use of Packet Tracer for simulation and network analysis. The student is also required to incorporate encryption, unique logins, and remote management capabilities, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of IOT network design and implementation.

2. Add, configure the smart devices and name these as given in Figure 1
below. Note that these devices should be wirelessly connected to a wireless
router, they should be encrypted using AES with WPA-PSK and the pass
phrase MUST be your student ID. Connect and activate the devices with
username and password (use your Student ID for both). This is to ensure a
unique login to the smart network.

3. Set up all the smart device attributes in the Perth Office through the
tablet web browser as shown in Figure 1 below (this is an incomplete
diagram, also make sure all labels match requirements). Use DNS
wwwFirstName.com (where FirstName is your own first name) to access
the connected devices.

4. Show the protocols that are used in transmitting a simple PDU from the
tablet to the remote server (by going to simulation mode) and record all the
protocols that are used for transmission of the simple PDU when the packet
is

5. Add a new branch office in Kalgoorlie. Connect these sites using
appropriate devices and configure accordingly (see Figure 2). Use a new
Tablet device and PC in the Kalgoorlie office to control smart devices at
the Perth office. It should be on a different network to the main office

7. Use conditions to setup the following:
Open Window1 and Window2 and switch on the ceiling fan when the CO2
level inside the office increases (you should include appropriate conditions
for the case when the CO2 levels return to normal)
Close the Garage Door when wind is detected (it should open when there is
no wind - you can adjust the wind speed using environmental controls)
