Summary

Contains topics suitable for undergraduate to graduate level courses in Telecommunications and Data Communications. The OPNET lab book contains a series of communication network laboratory experiments and tutorials for using OPNET, the industry-leading network simulation tool. The lab manual may be used along with any number of telecommunication titles to provide a hands on learning environment.

Features


A CD in a blister-pack accompanying the lab manual contains online documentation for OPNET PLANNER and OPNET MODELER.
Online documentation provides access to the full manual sets.

  • The documentation and reference material is provided in a format readable by Adobe Acrobat on UNIX, and Windows NT platforms.
A conditional 12-month license from MIL 3 for using the software is available to all two- and four-year colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

= Qualifications for Free Software License

  • A school must adopt the lab manual and place a purchase order with PH for a minimum of 20 copies.
  • A school is required to execute MIL 3, Inc.'s OPNET License and Usage agreement for the Site before a software license and installation is granted.
  • The site shall be required to meet the UNIX system requirements as defined on MIL 3, Inc.'s home page (www.mil3.com).
