Networking

1. Computer networking involves connecting computers together to allow communication and sharing of resources. It enables data transmission between remote locations via both wired and wireless means. 2. Basic types of computer networks include LANs, WANs, MANs, and CANs which are distinguished by their geographic coverage. Network components include terminals, transmission media, and electronic devices that control data flow. 3. Networks provide benefits like resource sharing, accessibility from anywhere, reliability, scalability, manageability, and cost-effectiveness for tasks like database access, online communication, and interactive entertainment.

TELECOMMUNICATION & NETWORKING

By- Robin Ganjoo


INTRODUCTION INTO NETWORK

“ although computers can be operated in stand-alone


mode, but to improve the performances of task /
output, it must be networked or communicate with
others “

Eg : Computer network at Interactive lab


INTRODUCTION INTO NETWORK
What is computer networking?

 Computer networking is connecting a computer with


other computers or devices to enable them to
communicate with each other.

 The collection & distribution of the electronics data


(bits) representation of information from remote
location.

 This type of communication either via wired or unwired


medium
INTRODUCTION INTO NETWORK
What is computer networking?

 The information can appear in variety formats (eg :


multimedia elements).

 It can be :
• Computer devices or equipments
• Software

• Transmission media to send / control the data /


signals,
• Communication devices to transmit / send data from
sources to destinations
INTRODUCTION INTO NETWORK

Example?

 Using RJ-45 UTP cable to make a connection into


Internet @ Laptop Zone
Communication Signal

Types of Signal In Data Transmission :

 Analogue signal  Eg: voice wave

 Digital signal  Binary codes (1 / 0)


INTRODUCTION INTO NETWORK

Types of basic computer networking based on geographic


coverage :

 LAN – Local Area Network


 WAN - Wide Area Network

Others?

 MAN - Metropolitan Area Network


 CAN – Campus Area Network
INTRODUCTION INTO NETWORK

Mind Activity

What the different between NETWORK & COVERAGE?


INTRODUCTION INTO NETWORK

Networking components can be categorize into :

 Terminals, Workstations, Computers & other related


devices (eg : PC, laptop, server, printer)

 Transmission Media (for transmitting data and control


signals) (eg : RJ-45 cable, Wifi UTM)
Terminal & Workstations

 Normally refers to data sources and destinations.


 Eg :
• Personal computers
• Terminals
• Workstations
• Computers
• Automatic teller machines
Transmission Media

 The physical media used to transmit data in a


networked environment.

 To Transmit signal / electrical pulse through a medium.

 2 types : bounded / guided or unbounded / unguided


(wired) (unwired)
Transmission Media

Bounded Media Unbounded Media


(air or a vacuum)

- Twisted pair wire - AM & FM (Radio frequency)


- Co-axial cable - TV broadcasting
- Fiber optic cables - Satellite communication
- Microwave oven & radio
- Infrared signals
Network Electronic Devices

 Devices that controls data transmission from sources to


destinations,

 It also act as interface between different transmission


media or communication protocol
Network Electronic Devices
 Network Electronic Devices. Example ;

- Bridges - Gateways
- Routers - Front End Processors

- Private Branch - Switches


- Hubs - Multiplexers
Using of Network

 Resource sharing (information/data/devices)


borderless

 No time constrain –accessible @ anytime @ anywhere

 High reliability
Using of Network

 Scalability
• Computer networks provide an effective mechanism
to scale up and provide services to more users at
more locations where needed and when needed.

 Manageability
• Networks allow remote resources to be managed
effectively (eg., remote control of telescopes or
other resources).
Using of Network

 Cost - Effectiveness
• Networks allow effective implementation of complex
distributed systems that must work together
(cooperate). Eg : combination of mainframes,
workstations, PC’s, networked storage & printers.
• Provide access to needed resources from anywhere
at anytime.
• Support collaborative group work independent of
location
Using of Network (Individual)

 Database access
• Bank/ other institution
• Online shopping.
• Online News paper
• On line job/Telecommuting (e-services)
• Digital libraries.
Using of Network (Individual)

 Online communication
• E-mail
• Video conferencing.
• New group / online forum / chat
• E-learning / virtual learning.
Using of Network (Individual)

 Interactive entertainment.
• multimedia games.
• video on demand (VOD):
 order movies or television shows of choice at

anytime from anywhere (IpTV)


 interactive movies and shows
Flow of Network Communication

Communications network can provide many types of


service

 Simplex  One way all the time


 Duplex  Two way
• Half Duplex  Two ways in Two times
• Full Duplex  Two ways in One times

 Multiplexing  More than one device transmitted the


data through single line at the same time
Flow of Network Communication

1. Duplex links are classified as either full duplex or half


duplex (also known as two way alternate), depending
upon whether both local and remote nodes may
simultaneously transmit.

2. Whether one must wait for the other to finish before


starting transmission.

(A telephone line is capable of full duplex transmission,


although most human users choose to adopt a half
duplex procedure to listen to what the remote person
has to say)
Flow of Network Communication

3. (A telephone line is capable of full duplex transmission,


although most human users choose to adopt a half
duplex procedure to listen to what the remote person
has to say)
Networks Devices : Local Area Network

 NIC (Network Interface Card) :


 Media (Network cable)
 Hub/Repeaters
 Server
 Workstations
Networks Devices : Local Area Network

Software :

 NOS (Network operating Software) – Server

Eg : Windows NT 4.0, Windows Advance Server

 NCS (Network Client Software) – Workstation

Eg : Windows XP, Windows ME
