Study Notes
Data Communication
- A modem is used to convert digital data to an analog signal.
Signals
- A signal that has a value at specific points in time is called a discrete signal.
- A signal that has a value at all instances is called a continuous signal.
- A signal that has a value at specific points in time is also called a digital signal.
- A signal that has a value at all instances is also called an analog signal.
Network Layers
- The segment PDU is in the Data Link layer.
- The hub device operates in the Physical layer.
- The repeater device operates in the Physical layer.
- MAC address is used in the Data Link layer.
- TCP and UDP protocols are used in the Transport layer.
Network Topology
- In a fully mesh topology, the number of connections required is calculated using the formula n*(n-1)/2, where n is the number of nodes.
- For example, if there are 6 nodes in a fully mesh topology, 15 connections are required.
- If there are 15 nodes in a fully mesh topology, 105 connections are required.
Network Devices
- A modem produces signals in the voice-frequency range from 300-3400HZ.
- A transducer is used to capture physical phenomena into an electrical signal.
Network Protocols
- The transmission of IP datagrams over Ethernet Network uses the value 0800 in hex.
- The operation of CSMA/CD bus is used in Ethernet network.
Network Cables
- UTP straight cable can connect a PC to a Switch or a PC to a Router.
- UTP straight cable cannot connect two switches.
Network Performance
- When SNR is increased, BER is decreased.
- An increase in Signal to noise ratio (SNR) decreases bit error rate.
MAC Address
- A MAC address has 48 bits.
- A MAC address is used in the Data Link layer.
