 Getting online
Data can be transferred from one device to another wirelessly using radio
waves. The most popular methods of wireless data transfer are

Wi-Fi Bluetooth Cellular data

 Characteristics of transmission methods
• Bandwidth
• The amount of data that can be transmitted within a certain amount of
time. E.g.:-Videos need a lot of bandwidth to play without buffering

• Transmission distance
• How far a signal can be sent using the transmission method

• Security
• It is crucial that security is concerned as some transmission methods can
be hacked more easily than others

• Interference
• Obstacles that slow down or stop the flow of data, caused by
electronic devices near to a network or by physical obstructions such
as walls.

IP
Addresses
• Each device on a network has an IP address assigned to it. IP stands for internet
protocol.

• It is designed to identify a device on a network, so that the devices can

communicate with each other.

• Eg: 192.124.2.123
• Ip address consists of 4 numbers, each separated by a full stop. Each
number is between 0 and 255.

 Server

• When you access content on the internet, you are accessing files that
are stored on a server.

• Server is a hardware device that stores and manages files and services
for a network.

• Servers are often grouped in one location, which is known as a server

farm.

 LO: To explain what the structure of a URL looks like and identify the different parts
Keywords: URL,Domain name,DNS,TLD

URL
• A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is used to locate a file
on a web server on the internet.
• They are easier to remember than an IP address
LO: To explain what the structure of a URL looks like and identify the different parts
Keywords: URL,Domain name,DNS,TLD

• The domain name is the part that changes, depending on which

web server you would like to visit using your web browser.

URL includes the domain along with additional information specifying

how to access a specific resource on that domain.
LO: To explain what the structure of a URL looks like and identify the different parts
Keywords: URL,Domain name,DNS,TLD

• A top-level domain (TLD) is the part at the end of the domain

name
Eg:- amazon.ae, amazon.in, amazon.com, amazon.de
DNS
• DNS(Domain Name System) is a system used
to translate a URL to an IP address, so that you
don’t have to remember the IP addresses for
web servers
• A DNS server stores a large database of URLs
and corresponding IP addresses
