  1. Chapter 4 Introduction By Mohammed Altaf Ahmed

  2. DATA COMMUNICATIONS The term telecommunication means communication at a distance. The word data refers to information presented in whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating and using the data. Data communications are the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium such as a wire cable. Topics discussed in this section: Components of Data CommunicationData Flow

  3. Five components of data communication

  4. Data flow (simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex)

  5. NETWORKS A network is a set of devices (often referred to as nodes) connected by communication links. A node can be a computer, printer, or any other device capable of sending and/or receiving data generated by other nodes on the network. Topics discussed in this section: Types of Connections Network TopologiesCategories of NetworksInterconnection of Networks: Internetwork

  6. Types of connections: point-to-point and multipoint

  7. Categories of topology

  8. A fully connected mesh topology (five devices)

  9. A star topology connecting four stations

  10. A bus topology connecting three stations

  11. A ring topology connecting six stations

  12. A hybrid topology: a star backbone with three bus networks

  13. An isolated LAN connecting 12 computers to a hub in a closet

  14. WANs: a switched WAN and a point-to-point WAN

  15. resident A heterogeneous network made of four WANs and two LANs
