Smart IoT Office Network Development: Configuration and Branch Link

This report details the development and configuration of a Smart IoT office network using Packet Tracer, including connecting smart devices, configuring a wireless router, and setting up a registration server. The network is designed to allow control of IoT devices from a remote branch office. The report includes screenshots of device configurations, server account creation, and tablet access. The network is tested for connectivity and security, ensuring that devices can communicate effectively and are protected through proper authentication. The use of wireless interfaces is emphasized for cost reduction and flexibility. The report also covers the addition of a remote branch office, connected via cable modem and cloud, enabling remote control of IoT devices within the main office network.

Part 1
Introduction
In the part 1 of the report the Smart office network is developed and configured
according to the requirement of the project. The screenshot of the configurations are attached
with the report for the demonstration of the working of the IoT network. The configuration used
at the wireless router and the Iot smart device are shown in the screenshots. For connecting the
IoT devices with the registration server the registration server is configured with the username
and password. After connecting the tablet with the wireless router a new account is created with
proper username and password for the management of the IoT devices.

Conclusion
From the above screenshot it can be concluded that the network of the office is
configured properly and it meets all the requirement of the company. The network is tested for
identification of the connection between the tablet and the registration server and it is secured
with authentication. For connecting the smart IoT devices wireless interface is used because it
reduces the wiring cost and increases the flexibility of the network. The location of the wireless
access point should be noted such that all the IoT devices comes in its range and able to
communicate with each other.

Part 2
Introduction
For the second part of the report a remote branch office is added to the diagram and it is
connected with the current network of the head office for allowing the IoT devices installed in
the network to be controlled from the remote end. For the configuration of the remote network a
cable modem is used and it is connected with a switch and cloud for connecting with the
company’s main network. A wireless access point is installed in the remote network according to
the requirement for connecting the smart device with the network and allowing the smart device
to connect with the registration server for controlling the IoT devices installed in different
location of the Smart office network.
The screen below are used for demonstration of the IoT devices controlled from the smart
device.

Conclusion
From the above report it can be concluded that with the development of the smart IoT
network some of the operation can be automated. It increases the flexibility of the network by
enabling the devices connected in the network to be managed from any location in the network.
The devices are configured according to the needs of the organization and research has been
made on the IoT device and framework for the development of the network framework. The
network device are configured to connect with the wireless access point and proper
authentication is used for maintaining the security of the network. For testing the connectivity of
the network ICMP packets are sent between the source (tablet/ smart phone) and the destination
