Each network has specific purposes and uses. = A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources, exchange files, or allow electronic communications = The computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams Byatt ages : Need of Computer Network: 2S @ File sharing m Resource sharing = Application sharing = Communication and collaboration @ Remote access yal here 24/11/2018Devices Uses in Network: SS m= Modem: A modem (modulator- demodulator) is a device that modulates signals to enco de digital information and demodulates signals to decode the transmitted information. The goal is to produce a signal that can be transmitted easily and decoded to 2 reproduce the original digital data. yaa age s Devices Uses in Network: eee m= Hub : A hub is a device for connecting multiple Ethemet devices together and making them act as a single network segment. It has multiple input/output (I/O) ports, in which a signal introduced at the input of any port appears at the output of every port except the original incoming. yal here “ 24/11/2018Devices Uses in Network: eee m Switch : A network switch is a computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer network, by using a form of packet switching to forward data to the destination device, A network switch is considered more advanced than a hub because a switch will only forward a message to one or multiple devices that need to receive it, rather than broadcasting the same message out of each of its ports. Bye marge Devices Uses in Network: = Repeaters : a repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, or onto the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances. = Bridges : network equipment to create an aggregate network from cither two or more communication networks, or two or more network segments. yal here 24/11/2018Devices Uses in Network: eee m= Routers : A router is a networking device, commonly specialized hardware, that forwards data packets between computer networks. This creates an overlay internetwork, as a router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks. Gateways : protocol converters, can operate at any network layer. The activities of a gateway are more complex than that of the router or switch as it communicates using more than one protocol. yaa are : Types Of Network: eee = Local Area Network (LAN) = Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) m= Wide Area Network (WAN) yal here w 24/11/2018Local Area Network: m A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link. = Typically, connected devices share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area. m A local area network may serve as few as two or three users or as many as thousands of users yaa age b Local Area Network: sss Wonsaion Py ere 24/11/2018Local Area Network: Bye marge Metropolitan Area Network: ee = A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN). @ Itis also used to mean the interconnection of several LANs by bridging them with backbone lines. yA eras 24/11/2018Metropolitan Area Network: Wide Area Network: .
