NETWORK BASIC CONCEPT AND TERMS



  •  Communication:- Communication means to establish link  between places or people to share information and resource.     Or,

     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.

Computer Generations

 Computer Generations   Computers have evolved over time through different generations, each marked by significant technological advancements and changes in design and architecture. These generations are often categorized based on the underlying hardware and the key developments that distinguish one Generation from another. Let's explore the main computer generations: First Generation Computers    The First Generation of computers refers to the initial period of electronic computing, characterized by the use of vacuum tubes as the primary electronic component. This Generation spans the 1940s and 1950s and is marked by groundbreaking developments in computer technology.  Examples of First-Generation Computers:  o ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer): Completed in 1945, ENIAC was one of the first electronic general-purpose computers. It was designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army during World War ...

Programming in "C"

 Introduction   C is a general-purpose programming language that was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories. It has since become one of the most widely used programming languages and has influenced the development of many other languages, including C++, Java, and C#. C is known for its efficiency, flexibility, and low-level programming capabilities. It is commonly used for system programming, embedded systems, and developing operating systems. C is also a popular choice for developing applications that require high performance, such as game engines and scientific simulations.   Here are some key features and concepts of C programming:   Syntax: C has a relatively simple syntax compared to some other programming languages. It uses a combination of keywords, variables, data types, operators, and control structures to write programs.  Variables and Data Types: You declare variables to store data in C. Various d...

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...
