问题 33： 底层是否包含在建筑物的楼层数中？即，建筑物是否有三层楼容纳人员，还有一层有服务器，还是只有底层和另一层？

Response: Yes. Counting the stories of the buildings: The ground floor, where the server & Router room is located, is also considered for user's work spaces for people as well. If we say the buildings have two stories, this means there are two floors ground floor & First Floor. Both are used for accommodating people, in addition to the dedicated server/router room in the ground floor.
响应：是的。计算建筑物的楼层数：底层，服务器和路由器室所在的位置，也被考虑作为用户的工作空间供人们使用。如果我们说建筑物有两层，那就意味着有两层底层和一楼。除了一楼的专用服务器/路由器机房外，两者都用于容纳人员。

Question-34: You mentioned that we must design equitable seating for the employees; I assume this means that we must equally distribute the employees over the number of floors that we have.
问题 34：您提到我们必须为员工设计公平的座位;我认为这意味着我们必须将员工平均分配到我们拥有的楼层数上。

Response: Designing equitable seating for employees: Your approach to evenly distribute the employees across the available floors is indeed the correct mindset for equitable seating arrangements. If you have four floors available for employees and need to accommodate the additional employees, allocating equal distribution of people to each floor would be a logical distribution is correct.
回应： 为员工设计公平的座位： 您将员工平均分配到可用楼层的方法确实是公平座位安排的正确心态。如果您有四个楼层可供员工使用，并且需要容纳额外的员工，则将平均分配的人员分配给每个楼层将是正确的逻辑分配。

Question-35: What is the range of the Access Points (APs), and is the frequency calculated based on channels 1 through 13?
问题 35：接入点 （AP） 的范围是多少，频率是否根据信道 1 到 13 计算？

Response: he range of Access Points (APs) can vary significantly based on the model, environment (e.g., indoors or outdoors), and other factors like physical obstructions and interference. Generally, in an indoor setting without significant interference, a common AP can cover from 30 to 50 meters. However, for precise planning and implementation, it's important to consult the specifications of the specific AP model you are using, For example look into the technical data sheet or specifications of the manufacturer of the Access points.
响应：接入点 （AP） 的范围可能会因型号、环境（例如室内或室外）以及其他因素（如物理障碍物和干扰）而有很大差异。通常，在没有明显干扰的室内环境中，普通 AP 可以覆盖 30 到 50 米。但是，为了进行精确规划和实施，请务必查阅您正在使用的特定 AP 型号的规格，例如查看接入点制造商的技术数据表或规格。

Regarding the frequency and channels, Wi-Fi operates on two main frequencies: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The 2.4 GHz band uses channels 1 through 13 in most countries (depending on local regulations). The frequency for each channel is slightly different, for example, Channel 1 is at 2.412 GHz, Channel 6 is at 2.437 GHz, and Channel 11 is at 2.462 GHz. The selection of channels can be crucial to avoid interference, especially in environments where many networks are operating simultaneously or next to each other in a large room like the one we have in our second assignment building work space.
关于频率和频道，Wi-Fi 在两个主要频率上运行：2.4 GHz 和 5 GHz。在大多数国家/地区，2.4 GHz 频段使用频道 1 到 13（取决于当地法规）。每个通道的频率略有不同，例如，通道 1 为 2.412 GHz，通道 6 为 2.437 GHz，通道 11 为 2.462 GHz。信道的选择对于避免干扰至关重要，尤其是在许多网络同时运行或彼此相邻运行的环境中，例如我们在第二个任务建筑工作空间中的房间。

It's also essential to understand that the frequency band and channel selection can affect the AP's range and performance. If you're working within a specific scenario for our assignment, consider these aspects to determine the best non overlapping channel and frequency band for your needs.
了解频段和信道选择会影响 AP 的范围和性能也很重要。如果您正在为我们的任务在特定场景中工作，请考虑这些方面以确定最适合您需求的非重叠频道和频带。

Question-36: Assignment-2 Spec: In 2.1 (f) Backbone network connectivity for the new buildings connecting with the head office building. Is the head office refer to the main office? Or each floor in the new building has a head office?
问题 36：作业 2 规范：在 2.1 （f） 中，与总部大楼相连的新建筑的主干网络连接。总公司是指总公司吗？或者新大楼的每一层都有一个总公司？

Response: Head office is referring to the Main office that is already existing in Melbourne.
回应： 总部指的是墨尔本已经存在的总部。

Question-37: Assignment-2 Spec: The RFP mentioned that It is envisaged that the new buildings in Melbourne office would support, both, wired and wireless networked office environment where each of the staff PC and their personal laptops. Does that mean every employee will have a laptop, and we should consider providing ports for those laptops in wired network?
问题 37：任务 2 规格：RFP 提到，预计墨尔本办公室的新大楼将支持有线和无线网络办公环境，其中每个员工的 PC 和个人笔记本电脑。这是否意味着每个员工都将拥有一台笔记本电脑，我们应该考虑在有线网络中为这些笔记本电脑提供端口？

Response: No! New users may or may not have Laptops, But these will be connected to wireless Wifi networks, NOT to wired networks. Wired Network for Desktop PC's for all new users.
回应：没有！新用户可能拥有也可能没有笔记本电脑，但这些笔记本电脑将连接到无线 Wifi 网络，而不是有线网络。适用于所有新用户的台式电脑有线网络。

Question-38: I'm not very familiar with Lucid, can I use other drawing software? (like photoshop)
问题 38： 我对 Lucid 不是很熟悉，我可以使用其他绘图软件吗？（如 Photoshop）

Response: Yes, you are allowed to use other drawing software if you're more comfortable or familiar with it, like Photoshop. However, it's important to ensure that the diagrams you create with the alternative software meet the assignment's requirements in terms of clarity, accuracy, and detail. For network diagrams specifically, the software should enable you to clearly represent network components (e.g., routers, switches, PCs), connections, and labels. While Photoshop can be used for creating diagrams, it might not have built-in network diagram elements like those found in dedicated diagramming tools such as Lucidchart, Microsoft Visio, or draw.io.
回应： 是的，如果您更熟悉或熟悉其他绘图软件，例如 Photoshop，则可以使用它。但是，重要的是要确保您使用替代软件创建的图表在清晰度、准确性和细节方面满足作业的要求。特别是对于网络图，该软件应使您能够清楚地表示网络组件（例如，路由器、交换机、PC）、连接和标签。虽然 Photoshop 可用于创建图表，但它可能没有像 Lucidchart、Microsoft Visio 或 draw.io 等专用图表工具中的内置网络图元素。

Always ensure your final output is in a format that is easily viewable and aligns with the submission requirements of the assignment.
始终确保您的最终输出格式易于查看并符合作业的提交要求。
