ConnectivityConnectivity
Connectivity is the ability for two or more computers to exchange information, share data and resources.Connectivity can be achieved in two ways:
Telecommunications (computers and telephones)Direct Access (computers and networks)A communication channel isanother word for telecommunications.

In order for connectivity to occur, you need either
a modem (Modulator/Demodulator) or
a network card

Physical Transmission MediaPhysical Transmission MediaTwisted-pair cable
Hundreds of wires connected together like those used for telephone lines.
Can often use a building’s existing unused telephone wiring.
This usage avoids having wiring strung over ceiling tiles (which may violate fire code and result in interference from fluorescent light fixtures).
Most buildings are wired with two (2) or three (3) pairs of wire to each wall outlet.

Coaxial cable has the disadvantage that to add or remove a node, cables may have to be disconnected and reattached.
Special “T” connectors have to be placed along the cable for stations to connect to, and the ends of the cable need to have end-cap connectors called terminators.
Coaxial cable is used for Ethernet networks.

Transmission ModesTransmission Modes
Asynchronous is the most common and is the transmission mode used by personal computers.
It is slower because data is sent and received one byte at a time. With Asynchronous transmission the following example would be applicable:Computer A -- Start Bit -- Stop Bit -- Computer B

Transmissions DirectionsTransmissions Directions
There are three directions or modes of data flow in a data communications system:
Transmission Direction: Simplex, Half-Duplex, and Full-Duplex
Simplex - one direction only
Half-duplex - either direction, but only one direction at a time
Full-duplex - both directions at the same time

Data is transmitted back and forth at the same time.
It is the fastest and most efficient form of two-way communication.
It requires special equipment and is used primarily for mainframe communications.

Modem Types and General Modem Types and General InformationInformationModems were developed to share and process data.External Modems connect with a serial port.Internal Modems consists of a plug-in circuit board inside the system unit.Wireless Modems are similar to the external modem that connects to the computer’s serial port. These receive data through the air.Modems allow dial-up access.

Wide Area Networks (WANs)Wide Area Networks (WANs)
WANs connect computers over long distances.
They have the widest scope of connectivity.
WANs use microwave relays and satellites as a medium of transmission.
The most widely used WAN is the Internet.

Network ArchitectureNetwork Architecture
A computer network is a communications system connecting two or more computers that work together
to exchange informationto share resources
Communications channels can be connected in different arrangements, or networks. The way networks are arranged and how their resources are shared is referred to as a network architecture.

Each machine is called a client or node.
Your central host connects to the nodes or machines.
A node is any device that shares resources on a network.
If the host or server dies, everything goes down.

TCP/IP is the software of networks.
It sets up a common set of rules for computers to exchange information.
IP (Internet Protocol) is the numerical address each machine gets when it logs into a network.
The Internet is the largest packet switching network on earth. This started to occur when telephones became widespread.

Perhaps, a company will want to share or transfer certain documents which could be confidential. Many times, these are files or documents made available only through Intranet.To ensure the safety of those documents, a company may put up a firewall. A firewall maintains a list of all the domains who can access certain resources.
