WHAT IS LAN SOCKET AND HOW TO WORK

 

A LAN (Local Area Network) socket is a physical connector on a device that allows it to connect to a wired local network.

When a device, such as a computer or printer, is connected to a LAN socket, it can communicate with other devices on the same local network. This allows for the sharing of files, printers, and internet connections among other things.

To connect a device to a LAN socket, you will need an Ethernet cable. This cable is plugged into the LAN socket on the device and then connected to a LAN port on a router or switch. Once connected, the device can communicate with other devices on the network.

The LAN socket works by sending and receiving data packets over the Ethernet cable. These packets are sent using a set of rules known as Ethernet protocols. 

The LAN socket on the device and the LAN port on the router or switch work together to ensure that data is transmitted accurately and efficiently.

Overall, a LAN socket is a key component in creating a wired local network and allows devices to communicate with each other for the sharing of resources and information.
