Introduction:
Data communication refers to the exchange of data between a source and a receiver
via form of transmission media such as a wire cable. Data communication is said to be
local if communicating devices are in the same building or a similarly restricted
geographical area. The meanings of source and receiver are very simple. The device
that transmits the data is known as source and the device that receives the transmitted
data is known as receiver. Data communication aims at the transfer of data and
maintenance of the data during the process but not the actual generation of the
information at the source and receiver.
