DATA COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER NETWORKS DATA COMMUNICATIONS AND COMPUTER NETWORKS Data Communications and Computer Networks Data Communications and Computer Networks Handbook of data communications and computer networks Data communications is the movement of computer infor mation fr om one point to another by means of electr ical or optical tr ansmission systems. Such systems ar e often called data communications networ ks. This is in contr ast to the br oader ter m telecommunications, which includes the tr ansmission of voice and video (images and gr aphics) as well as data and usually implies longer distances. In gener al, data communications networ ks collect data fr om micr ocomputer s and other devices and tr ansmit that data to a centr al ser ver that is a mor e power ful micr ocomputer , minicomputer , or mainfr ame, or they p Data Communication and Computer Networ k. Gener ally, networ ks ar e distinguished based on their geogr aphical span. A networ k can be as small as distance between your mobile phone and its B luetooth headphone and as lar ge as the inter net itself, cover ing the whole geogr aphical wor ld. Data Communication and Computer Networ k LA N pr ovides a useful way of shar ing the r esour ces between end user s. The r esour ces such as pr inter s, file ser ver s, scanner s, and inter net ar e easily shar able among computer s. LA Ns ar e composed of inexpensive networ king and r outing equipment.

UNIT- III Er r or Detection and Cor r ection, Intr oduction. 17 Data Communications Channel => The message needs some kind of medium to be tr ansmitted. This medium is called channel. For example, telephone or coaxial cable, micr owave signal, or optical fiber s Pr otocol => The r ules that establish an or der ly tr ansfer of data between the sender and the r eceiver ar e called pr otocols. A networ k connects one computer to another computer s and per ipher al devices to shar e data and r esour ces. Ther e is a number of networ k configur ations. local ar ea networ k (LA N) => computer s and per ipher al devices ar e located r elatively close to each other , gener ally in the same building. Explain how computer networ k r educe expences in an office. - Computer Networ ks can allow businesses to r educe expenses and impr ove efficiency by shar ing data and common equipment, such as pr inter s, among many differ ent computer s. A t the same time, the networ k may be connected thr ough cables, telephone lines, infr ar ed beams etc, which is cheaper and helps to r educe the expenses. TER MS USED IN DA TA COMMUNICA TION i) Data siganal Is a voltage signal level in the cir cuir t which r epr esents the flow of data. 3.Full Duplex - Communication occur s in both dir ections simultenouesly e.g a computer sending and r eceiving data on anetwor k. TYPES OF COMPUTER NETWOR KS Types of computer networ ks ar e classified acoor ding to size. Data communications r efer s to the tr ansmission of this digital data between two or mor e computer s and a computer networ k or data networ k is a telecommunications networ k that allows computer s to exchange data. The physical connection between networ ked computing devices is established using either cable media or wir eless media. The best- known computer networ k is the Inter net.

Data Comm. & Computer Networ ks, Second Edition. Computer Networ ks - B asic Configur ations. Under stand each of the following configur ations. Data Communication or Networ k Communication: It is the pr ocess of tr anspor ting data or infor mation fr om one device to another .The channel or physical connection (path) thr ough which the infor mation is car r ied fr om sender (Sour ce or or igin) to the r eceiver (destination) is established using either cable (Physical media) or wir eless media. The physical cable like twisted pair wir e, coaxial cable, fiber - optic cable or wir eless media like laser , r adio waves, and micr owaves. The following basic components of Communication system 2. Sender : The Sender is the device/computer that gener ates and sends that message. It can be a computer , wor kstation, phone, camer a, etc. 3. R eceiver : The R eceiver (device or computer ) that r eceives the message.
