Objectives • Quick overview of wide-area communications • Define the term “Structured Wiring” • Define "analog" and "digital" data. • List the common methods used to encode analog/digital data using analog/digital signaling. • Discuss transmission media and wiring system standards
Wide-Area Data Communication Nomenclature Data Consumer or Local Area Network DTE DCE Short-Distance Connection Wide Area Network Router Workstation Server/Mainframe Modem CSU/DSU RS-232 V.35 RS449/530 HSSI DS-0 ISDN DS-1 DS3 OC1 OC3 OC12
RS232-C Connections Protective Ground DTE DCE TD (Transmit Data) RD (Receive Data) RTS (Request to Send) CTS (Clear to Send) DSR (Data Set Ready) Signal Ground CD (Carrier Detect) DTR (Data Terminal Ready) RD (Ring Detect)
Transmission Media • Guided Media • Twisted Pair • Coaxial Cable • Optical Fiber • Unguided Media • “Broadcast”-type radio transmission • Wireless LANs, Cell Phones, PCS • Satellite • Point-to-Point Microwave
Transmission Systems • Basic multiplexing • DS-n (T1, DS3) • SONET (OC-3, OC-12, etc) • WDM • Multiplexing and Other Functions • Ethernet • Frame Relay • ATM
Structured Wiring • Main Cross-Connect (Main Distribution Frame) • Riser Cable(“Backbone”) • Intermediate Cross-Connect (Int. Dist. Frame) • Horizontal Wiring • Jack Field • Drop Cable • Workstation
Why use Hierarchical Wiring? • Flexibility = Lower CostFrom Bates, Voice and Data Communications Handbook: • Estimated Cost for 50 single wire pulls:$15,568 • Estimated Cost for 50 dual wire pulls:$16,935
Wiring Standards • Building Wiring Standards • Electronic Industries Association • Telecommunications Industry Association • EIA/TIA 568 Commercial Building Wiring Standard • “Outside Plant” • Bell Labs technical publications • Now maintained by Telcordia (formerly Bellcore)
RJ-What? • As an aside for the eternally curious:The RJxx nomenclature appears in the legal documents used by the FCC to identify permitted methods to connect telecom equipment to the network • For the really, really curious: Title 47 CFR, Part 68, Subpart F, Section 502
Signal Transmission Overview Analog Data over Analog Transmission Systems Analog Data over Digital Transmission Systems Digital Data over Analog Transmission Systems Digital Data over Digital Transmission Systems
Analog Signaling of Digital Data • Encode "0" and "1" as changes in one signal property • Amplitude Shift Keying: Use two signal amplitudes, one for each bit value. • Frequency Shift Keying: Change the signal frequency to indicate the bit value. • Phase Shift Keying: Create a phase change relative to the most recent bit to indicate the bit value
Digital Signaling of Analog Information • Voice Codec • Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) • Compressed Voice • Video Codec
Digital Encoding ExamplePCM • Example: Voice • 4000 Hz • Sample at twice the highest frequency(8000 samples per second) • 8 bits per sample • Result: 64kbps
Digital SignalingDigital Data Encoding Schemes: • NRZ • Manchester • Differential Manchester • Bipolar - AMI
Digital Signaling of Digital Data Manchester Code Every bit position has a transition (clocking) Signal has no DC component Transition Direction Encodes the Data Used in Ethernet 1 0 1 1 0
Bipolar AMI Coding Used in T1 Signaling 1 0 1 1 1 0

Ethernet • Designed as a broadcast medium; each transmission is received by every station • Based on a bus architecture • Manchester Encoding • Several Media Types • 10Base5 • 10Base2 • 10Base-T • 10Base-F
10Base-T • Simulates the Ethernet bus using an active star topology. • Uses unshielded twisted pair wiring. • “4-pair” (8 conductor) wiring is normally used, but only 2 pairs are used – 1 transmit pair one receive pair • Each station connects to a central hub. • Cables are wired “straight through” • Hub ports are “crossed” (transmit/receive are reversed
Fast Ethernet • All use a star topology • 100Base-TX • Two pair copper wire (Cat 5) • Same pin-out at 10Base-T, better wire • 100Base-FX • Two fibers • 100Base-T4 • Rarely used; 4 pair lower quality (cat 3) wires • 1000Base-X (4 pair Cat 5 or 5E)
FDDI • 100 Mbps Ring • Usually based on optical fiber • Based on the Token Ring Standard • Provides capacity pre-allocation • Economics: • Ethernet is cheaper than token ring and does almost as good a job – so it wins • Fast Ethernet is cheaper than FDDI and does almost as good a job – so it wins
Other Stuff • The slides after this one have probably not been used in class unless a specific question came up

Digital Signaling of Digital Data NRZ-L coding (Non-Return to Zero, Level) Multiple bits may be sent without a transition Signal has a DC component Example: RS-232 uses +3V for "0" and -3V for "1" 1 0 1 1 0
Digital Signaling of Digital Data NRZI coding (Invert on One) Multiple bits may be sent without a transition Signal has a DC component Polarity insensitive, partially self-timing Example: ISDN 1 0 1 1 0
Digital Signaling of Digital Data Differential Manchester Code Every bit position has a transition (clocking) Signal has no DC component and is polarity - neutral Differential Signal provides some error detection 1 0 1 1 0
