Types of Remote Access 1. Cable Broadband - connects your home to a fibre cabinet in your area. it uses coaxial cables 2. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) Broadband - is a modem technology that uses existing telephone lines to transport high-bandwidth data 3. Cellular Internet Services is a type of wireless connection facilitated by cellular towers. 4. Satellite Internet Access- is wireless internet beamed down from satellites orbiting the Earth 5. Fiber Optics Broadband - Fiber optic Internet is an Internet connection that transfers data fully or partially via fiber optic cables. Fiber Optic - is a complex technology that allows the transmission of information in the form of light rather than electricity. VPN - aka Virtual Private Network (VPN) gives you online privacy and anonymity by creating a private network from a public internet connection. Desktop Sharing - Refers to the technologies that allow remote access of your computer or mobile device by another user on a separate device. Privileged Accounts - Standard User Accounts - Have a limited set of privileges, such as for internet browsing - Guest User Accounts - Possess fewer privileges than standard user accounts Examples: - Super user account - Domain administrative account - Local administrative account - Emergency account - Privileged business user OSI (Open System Interconnection) model is a conceptual framework used to understand and implement network connections. Layer 1: Physical Layer - responsible for the transmission of raw bitstreams over a physical medium. Ex: cables Layer 2: Data Link Layer - ensures reliable communication between directly connected nodes by providing error detection and correction. Layer 3: Network Layer - is responsible for routing data packets between devices across different networks. Layer 4: Transport Layer - ensures end-to-end communication and data integrity between devices. Layer 5: Session Layer - manages and controls the connections (sessions) between computers. Layer 6: Presentation Layer - translates data between the application layer and the network, ensuring that data is presented in a readable format. Layer 7: Application Layer - is the closest layer to the end user and interacts directly with software applications. LAN – Local Area Network (uses coaxial cables) used for a small are where the transmission is rapid and accurate WAN – Wide Area Network (uses satellite links) is a network that extends over a large geographic are connecting multiple LANs.
