     Communication is the process of   transferring a message from one point   to another.

   There are three  basic elements of any communication system :-

   1. Sender – A sender that creates and       sends a message.
   2.  Medium – A medium that carries the       message.
   3.  Receiver – A receiver that receives     the message.
  Network:- Network refers to inter-connected group of people object, computers etc., which can exchange information and resources among themselves.
  Advantage of Network
   1.  Sharing of Files:- Networking enables   to share files among different nodes   or  workstation.
   2. Sharing of Resource: - Networking also helps in sharing of hardware devices.
  3. Fast Delivery:- Networking helps in instant delivery of information.
    4. Reduce Cost:- In a Network, data or information are transferred at a very low cost.


Terminology of Network 

  1.Network Interface Unit (NTU):-
   A network interface unit is a device attached to each node and thus is connected to the server. It acts as an interface to establish connection between networked computer and an outside network.
  •  NIU(Network Interface Unit) is also known as NIC (Network Interface Card).
  •  MAC(Media Access Control) Address:-  A unique physical address is given to each Network Interface Card by it’s manufacturer, known as MAC Address.

 2.Workstation:-It refers to the computer connected in a network. Workstation is also known as node.
  3.Server:- It is a centralized computer that has huge storage capacity and very high processing speed. It acts as an. Intermediary between two or more computers which  are on network.

ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS ON BINARY NUMBER

Binary arithmetic is simpler to learn because binary number system deals with only two digits - 0 and 1. Binary number perform all arithmetic operation such as Addition, Substraction, Multiplication and compliment as in decimal number system. Binary Addition The addition table for binary arithmetic consist of only the following four entries: 0+0=0 0+1=1 1+0=1 1+1=0 , plus a carry of 1 to the next column.     1011        + 1100    10111     1100    + 1100     11000 Binary Substraction There are three ways to do substraction between binary numbers:- 1. Simple Substraction 2. Substraction using 1's Complement 3. Substraction using 2's Complement Simple Substraction: The complete table of binary substraction is as follows: 0-0=0 0-1=1, borrow 1 from next column 1-0=1 1-1=0    1101 - 0101   1000     1001   - 0111    0...

Media Of Communication Part 2

Unguided Media Unguided media transport electromagnetic wave without using a physical connection. This type of communication referred as wireless communication. We can divided wireless transmission in :-   1. Radio Wave:- Electromagnetic   waves ranging in frequencies between 3KHz and 1GHz are normally called radio wave.   On radio wave connectivity used communication used Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.     Bluetooth :- It is a wireless network connectivity that enables to connect or transfer data between devices over a short range the physical range of connection up to 100 meter. Ex- Mobile phone, barcode scanning, portable speaker, wireless keyboard, mouse etc.      Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):- Wi-Fi is a network of wireless connection. Wi-Fi network establish by radio frequency like Bluetooth, but has more power, resulting a strong connection.    ·   Wi-Fi is also called wireless Ethernet. It has connectivity range up...
