UNIT 1 DATA COMMUNICATION What is data communication? The process of transmitting information from one place to another place using computers is called a data communication List the components of data communication. Protocol message, Sender, receiver, medium Define data flow. ‘The direction in which data is ansferred between the sender and the receiver Simplex Half duplex full duplex Define simplex, ‘The data will be transferred in only one direction. Ex. Radio and Tv Define Half duplex. The data can be transferred in both directions. But the data will be transferred only one direction at atime. Ex. Waki Taki Define full duplex. The data is transferred in both directions ata time. &. Telephone communication What is network? Collection of computers and devices connected by communication channels. It allows resource sharing. What is network criteria? Standards to measure the network performance Performance ,consistency reliability, recovery, security What is connection Pls its types. {physical link between devices in the network. Point to point-a dedicated link between two devices Multi point-a single communication channel shares! by al the devices in the network Define topology and its types. ‘Amodel of network which defines how the devices are connected with the network Siar {bus sing, mesh, hybrid Define LAN. A network connection implemented within a building or in an office is called the LAN. Local area network Define MAN. A network connection implemented within 2 high populated city is called MAN. Metropolitan Area Network Define WAN. A network connection implemented within a large geographical distance between countries and Continents called WAN. Wide area network Define CAN. Controller area network isa special network standard ‘designed to enable communication among electronic components insidea vehicle without the help of host computer. Define HAN. Home area network is a Local area network used within the home. It enables communication among digital devices Define Internet. A network of network around the world. Itis wsed to transfer information through cyber space. List the uses of Internet. Email, video conference, file transfer remote lo chatting Define Intranet A private network of computers within an organisation, The communication maybe either using wireless Define extranet, A private network of computers with an internet connectivity. The main aim of extranet is to share information among their suppliers,vendors,partners, other companies etc., who are outside their organization, Define client/server network. The most powerful Technology used for distributing data on the networks. Components up there 1) client 2) server Define peer to peer network. Itis a network communication model in which each system has the capability to initiate communication with other systems without relying on a centralized server Define transmission media and its types. The medium through which the electro magnetic wave, travelis called transmission media Guided media- signals are guided by a physical transmission media Twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fibre optic cable. Unguided media- transport electromagnetic waves without using any physical conductor Radio waves, microwave, mtrared Define Los. Low orbit satellite. Low Larth orbit isa circular orbit about ‘thousand 200 miles above the Faith surface. The satelites in this Orbit are called low Orbit satellite Define vsat. Very small aperture terminal. Vis a receiver/ transmitter terminal installed in various locations. VSAF ternal can Communicate can communicate among the other ternal Connected to a Central hub master earth station throuh satellite Define switch router gateway. Switch: an tlectromagnetic device that is used to connect multiple computers together within one Local area network, Types, 4) store and forward 2) cut through Router: a device containing software and Hardware we to forward data packets from phone network to another network Gateway: an Internet working systent used to join two hetworks that use different best protocat tor communication,UNIT 1 DATA COMMUNICATION what i data communication? ‘The process of transiting information from one pace to another place using computersis called adata List the components of data communication. ‘Sender, receiver, medium duplex Detine Half dupes, nsferred in both directions.
