3. Numbers include combination of digits from 0 to 9.
4. In Simplex, communication is unidirectional.
5. In half duplex both the stations can transmit as well as receive but not at the same time.
6. In Full duplex mode, both stations can transmit and receive at the same time.
7. A computer network can be defined as a collection of nodes.
8. Network software is a foundational element for any network.
9. Local Area Network is usually limited to a few kilometers of area.

II. Multiple Choice. Choose the letter that corresponds to the BEST answer.
11. One of the most convenient way to transfer data from one computer to another, even before the
birth of networking, was to save it on some storage media and transfer physical from one station to
another.
