Once cabling is installed and functional, schools can get further NSSB support to help them insure that teachers and students make maximum use of their LAN. Using the school's technology plan as a guide, NSSB will meet with administrators, tech coordinators and individual teachers to plan how they will use the network.

With these short and long term goals in mind, NSSB will help the school select appropriate networking software and hardware and obtain quotes and ordering information from reputable vendors. NSSB can install Network Operating Systems on school's servers and configure the servers to integrate with DOE's wide area network. This enables NSSB to support the installation remotely through remote management, monitoring, troubleshooting and problem correction.

NSSB will also install and configure common DOE network applications such as library automation, MacSchool, etc. In addition, NSSB will install and configure network services on school LANs to improve performance and manageability, i.e. NetWare/IP, DHCP, WINS, DNS Proxy servers, etc. Finally, NSSB can provide local and remote LAN analysis to troubleshoot LAN problems.
