Experiment 15 - Serial Communication
Aim:
To establish a simple network connecting between a host and guest PC

Apparatus Required:
1. Two PC’s with windows 2000 professional

2. RS-232, DB-9 connector
3. Serial ports in PC’s
4. Serial null modem cable
Theory:

communication channel rather than ‘n’ to transmit data between 2
communicating devices. The advantage of serial over parallel is only one
communicating channel serial transmission reduces the cost of transmission
over parallel by righty a factor if ‘n’ since communication within devices is
parallel.

1. Synchronous
2. Asynchronous
3. ISo chronous

To prepare host PC:
1. Open network connection.

2. Under network tasks create a new connection click next.

Experiment 17 - IMPACT OF TRANSMISSION POWER IN A WLAN
AIM:
Throughput measurements and comparison of throughput for different

transmission power levels.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Two Personal computers.

2. D-Link software.
PROCEDURE:
1. Configure WLAN-T for 802.11g mode

2. Configure the client and initiate a FTP Session
3. The client should be kept in a suitable distance from the WLAN-T where
the effect of change in TX power level of the WLAN-T is left by the client
4. Keep the power level of WLAN-T to the full level
5. Measure the signal strength using NET Stumber software and tabulate
6. Run the FTP in the session in the client as mentioned
7. Note down the throughput and tabulate
8. Now vary the transit power level of the WLAN-T to 50%, 25%, 10% &5%
and note down the signal strength and throughput for each power level
and tabulate.
9. Plot a graph for level Vs throughput
INFERENCES:
 The throughput is at its best when the client sees the power as excellent
signal strength. As the transition power level is decreased the throughput
also starts decreasing.
 If the power level is less, signal to noise deteriorates which in turn results
in retransmission of packets. This reduces the throughput considerably.
Rev. No :
Rev. No :
RESULT:
Thus the throughput measurement and comparison of throughput for

different transmission power level was done and execute successfully.

Experiment 4 – SLIDING WINDOW GO BACK N WITH BER

Calculation of Practical Throughput:

(Sum of Successfully Tx packets * Packet Length * 8)

1. Set the error rate to 10-2 in the NEU.

Setting the configuration menu:

Duration: 100 secs

Time out value in ms Successfully Tx packets Practical Throughput

Experiment 5 – SLIDING WINDOW SELECTIVE REPEAT

(Sum of Successfully Tx packets * Packet Length * 8)

Setting the configuration menu:

BER Successfully Theoretical Practical

Experiment 6 – SLIDING WINDOW SELECTIVE REPEAT WITH BER

(Sum of Successfully Tx packets * Packet Length * 8)

1. Set the error rate to 10-2 in the NEU.

Calculation of Practical Throughput (X) from the obtained readings:

Successfully transmitted packet by a node = Tx Packets – Collision Count

X = (Sum of Successfully Tx packet in all the nodes * Packet Length * 8)

Calculation of Theoretical Throughput:

Calculation of Practical Offered load:

G = (Sum of Transmitted packets in all the nodes * Packet Length * 8)

(Duration of Experiment * Data rate)

IPD Tx1 Tx 2 Tx 3 Tx 4 G – practical X – practical Theoretical

G is the generated load in the network.

To implement the CSMA/CD protocol for packet communication between a number of

Calculation of Practical Throughput (X) from the obtained readings:

X = (Sum of Successfully Tx packet in all the nodes * Packet Length * 8)

Calculation of Practical Offered load:

G = (Sum of Transmitted packets in all the nodes * Packet Length * 8)

IPD Tx1 Tx 2 Tx 3 Tx 4 G – Offered Load X – Throughput

G is the offered load assumed to the network.

7. Note down the readings once the experiment is completed.

8. Repeat the above steps for various values of ta.

Setting the configuration:

IPD Tx 1 Tx 2 Tx 3 Tx 4 G- X– Avg Delay
