Presentation on communication hardware & communication software

DATA COMMUNICATION
Data Communications are the exchange of data between two devices through some form of transmission medium such as a wire cable.

The five components are : Message Sender Receiver Transmission Medium Protocol

COMMUNICATION HARDWARE

Communication Hardware devices are those physical components that helps in flow of data from one resource point to another. The devices which help in communication between computers in any given network are given below:Nic Adapters Routers Hubs Switches Gateways Modems Networking cables

NIC ADAPTER
A network card (also called network adapter, network interface card, NIC, etc.) is a piece of computer hardware designed to provide for computer communication over a computer network.

ROUTER
A router enables data communication between the computers on any given network and others that are on the Internet.

HUB
Hub can be defined as one common point for connecting all the network devices.

SWITCH

GATEWAYS
Gateway device connects LAN with internet. Its basic functionality is to provide security to the network. By using gateways incoming/out going traffic can be monitored for any malicious activity within the network which can be harmful to network integrity.

MODEM
A MODEM(modulator-demodulator) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information.

CABLES
Cables are used to connect one network device to other or to connect two or more computers to share printer, scanner etc.
