Desktops and laptops

Desktops and laptops form the highest level of configurable and usable client devices in Packet Tracer. There is no difference between them when it comes to usability; only the naming conventions of the modules are different.

The following modules are available for desktops and laptops. Similar to routers (as seen in the previous chapter), these devices too have to be switched off before adding/removing modules.

Linksys-WMP300N: This provides a wireless interface for configuring WLAN on a WiFi network.
PC-HOST-NM-1AM: This provides an RJ11 interface that can be used as a dial-up modem.
PC-HOST-NM-1CE, PC-HOST-NM-1CFE, PC-HOST-NM-1CGE: These three modules provide an Ethernet, FastEthernet, and GigabitEthernet connection, respectively.
PC-HOST-NM-1FFE, PC-HOST-NM-1FGE: This is the fiber Ethernet version of the previous module.
PC-HOST-NM-1W, PC-HOST-NM-1W-A: Both of these modules provide a wireless interface for WLAN. The first one has a frequency of 2.4 GHz and the second 5GHz...
