CHAPTER Unit I 01 Internet Basics Chapter Checklist The Internet has gained popularity and emergedfromas an important and efficient means of communication. The term Internet is derived the words 'interconnection' and 'networks'. A network is a collection of trwo or more computers, which are connected o History of Internet Workingof Internet together to share information and resources. The Internet is a worldwide system of Uses of Internet computer networks, iLe. network of networks. Through Internet, computers become able to exchange information with each other and find diverse perspective on issues o Connecting to the Internet from a global audience.

The goal of this project was to connect computers at different Universities and U.S. defense. 2 Allinone Computer Applications Class 10th In mid 80's anothet tederal ageny, the Nathonal Sience " EReseration (online reservation, online ticket booking Foundaton (NSP reated anew hugh capait network etc.) alled NSFnet (Natanal Socnr Fundaton Network).

Very High Data rate DSL(VHDSL or VDSL) Internet, which are as follows: " Asyrnmetrical DSL (ADSL) 1. Dial-up Connection Symmetrical DSL (SDSL) It is a temporary connection, set-up between your " Rate adaptive DSL (RDSL) computer and ISP server. " ISDN DSL (IDSL) Dial-up connection uses the telephone line (Public Switched Telephone Nerwork PSTN) and modem to Cable Modem connect to the Internet. The modem connects the This service enables cable operators to provide broadband computer through the standard phone lines, which using the same co- axial cables, that deliver pictures and sound serves as the data transfer medium. When a user to your TV set. A cable modem can be added to or integrated initiates a dial-up connection, user needs to enter the with a set-top bOx that provides your TV set for Internet password and specify a username and modem dials a access. They provide transrmission speed of 1.5 Mbps or more. phone number of an Internet Service Provider (1SP) that is designated to receive dial up calls. The ISP then establishes the connection, which usually Broadband over Power Line (BPU It is the delivery of broadband over the existing low and takes about 10 sec and, is accompanied by several beeping and buzzing sounds. medium voltage electric power distribution network. Its speed Telephone Line internet Service is generally comparable to DSL and cabie modem speeds. BPL Provider (1SP) internet can be provided to homes using existing electrical Computer connections and outlets. It is also known as power-band. Modem BPL is good for those areas where there are no broadband connections, but power infrastructure exists. e.g. in rural areas. Dial-up connection A modem changes the digital data into analog data and vice-versa at source computer in a format that can be carried 2. Broadband Connection by telephone lines Modem stands for Modulator and Demodulator The term broadband commonly refers to high speed " Bandwidth is the amOunt of data that a circuit or a signal can Internet access that is always ON and faster than the carry. traditional dial-up access. It is the short form of " TCP/IP was designed in l973, which in 1983 became the standard for communicating between computers over the broadband wideh, that uses a telephone line to connect Internet to the Internet. Speed of broadband connection is ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) establishes the measured in Mbps (Megabits per second). connection using the phone lines which carry digital signals instead of analog signals Broadband access allows users to connect to the ISP (Internet Service Provider) refers to the companies that Internet at greater speed than a standard 256 Kbps provide Internet connections to the users Some popular ISPs (Kilobits per second) modem or dial-up access. of India are Broadband access requires the use of a broadband " Data Communication LId modem. Broadband includes several high speed " Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL) transmission technologies, which are as follows: " Airtel " Reliance Digital Subscriber Line (DSLJ) It is a popular broadband connection which provides 3. Wireless Connection Internet access by transmitting digital data over the Wireless broadband connects a home or business to the wires of a local telephone network. It uses the existing Internet using a radio link between the customer's location copper telephone lines for Internet access. and the service provider's facility. Wireless broadband can be A special modem is necessary in order to be able to use mobile or fixed.

It is only a portion of what makes up to support roaming Internet access by cell phones and the Internet, but it is the fastest growing part of the handheld devices. LTE is designed to allow upto 300 Internet.
