Study Notes
Communication and Networking Concepts
- Low-shaped channels can combine into a high-speed transmission via frequency-division or time-division multiplexers.
- Synchronous modems are pricier than asynchronous ones due to the presence of clock recovery circuits and their ability to handle larger volumes of data.
- Connecting computers within the same room typically utilizes dedicated lines or coaxial cables.
Interfaces and Topology
- RS232C is a standard interface for serial data transmission.
- Hierarchical topology is ideal for large businesses needing strict control over distributed branch operations.
- Types of transmission channels include Simplex, Half Duplex, and Full Duplex, with Double Duplex being illegitimate.
Error Detection and Transmission Media
- Parity bits serve the primary function of error detection in data transmission.
- Optical fiber is preferred for networks vulnerable to electrical interference due to its insulating properties.
Internet Fundamentals and Channels
- A collection of hyperlinked documents on the internet is known as the World Wide Web (WWW).
- The definition of residual error rate involves measuring bit errors during extended asynchronous communications.
OSI Model and Communication Software
- The data link layer in the OSI model is responsible for creating and recognizing frame boundaries.
- Communication software packages allow users to access electronic mail and bulletin boards.
Communication Parameters and Information Types
- Essential parameters for software and modem setup include speed, character format, and duplex settings.
- Information sent electronically can include voice, data, and video.
Communication Components and Pathways
- Necessary components for effective communication encompass a computer terminal, modem, and communications software.
- The physical path for data transmission is called a channel, line, or link.
Communication Channel Types
- Half-duplex channels enable bi-directional information flow, but not simultaneously.
- Carriers facilitate clear channel transmission and mark bit encoding techniques.
Fiber Optics and Digital Communication
- International bipolar violations pertain to coding errors in digital communications.
- Digital communication leveraging ADPCM achieves transportation rates up to 9600 bps, with common CVSD digitization rates being around 8 and 64 kbps.
Network Configuration and Benefits
- SONET frames consist of overhead bytes, whereas the OC-3 signal accommodates three OC-1 signals.
- High operating rates and interoperability among carriers are advantages of SONET.
Network Types and Topologies
- Networks can be classified into LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), and MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), each designated for different geographical coverage.
- Bus topology connects network components using a singular cable, contrasting with star and ring topologies.
General Knowledge and Historical Context
- The first computer network is recognized as ARPANET.
- The bank's ATM system exemplifies WAN using distributed networking.
Data Transmission Techniques
- Various data transfer techniques, such as Bluetooth and infrared, require line of sight for connectivity.
- Simplex transmission means data flows in one direction only, while half-duplex supports two-way communication alternately.
