    WHAT IS A NETWORK?

    A group of two or more similar


    things or people
    interconnected with each other
    is called network.
    EVOLUTION OF NETWORK
    TYPES OF NETWORKS
    TYPES OF NETWORKS
    PAN
    It is a network formed by connecting a few personal
    devices like computers, laptops, mobile phones, smart
    phones, printers etc., as shown in Figure 10.4. All these
    devices lie within an approximate range of 10 metres.
    A personal area network may be wired or wireless.
    For example, a mobile phone connected to the laptop
    through USB forms a wired PAN while two smartphones
    communicating with each other through Bluetooth
    technology form a wireless PAN or WPAN
    LAN

    It is a network that connects computers, mobile


    phones, tablet, mouse, printer, etc., placed at a
    limited distance.
    The geographical area covered by a LAN can
    range from a single room, a floor, an office
    having one or more buildings in the same premise,
    laboratory, a school, college, or university campus.
    The connectivity is done by means of wires,
    Ethernet cables, fire optics, or Wi-Fi.
    MAN

    Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is


    an extended form of LAN which
    covers a larger geographical area like
    a city or a town.
    WAN

    Wide Area Network connects computers and other


    LANs and MANs, which are spread across
    different geographical locations of a country or in
    different countries or continents. Large business,
    educational and government organisations connect
    their different branches in different locations
    across the world through WAN.
    The Internet is the largest WAN that connects
    billions of computers, smartphones and millions of
    LANs from different continents.
    NETWORK DEVICES
    MODEM (MODULATOR-DEMODULATOR)
    It refers to a device used for conversion between analog signals and digital bits.
    ETHERNET CARD OR
    NIC (NETWORK
    INTERFACE CARD)

    Ethernet card, also known as Network


    Interface Card (NIC card in short) is a
    network adapter used to set up a wired
    network.
    It acts as an interface between computer
    and the network. It is a circuit board
    mounted on the motherboard of a computer
    RJ 45
    REGISTERED JACK

    RJ 45 or Registered Jack-45 is an eight-pin


    connector that is used exclusively with
    Ethernet cables for networking.
    It is a standard networking interface that
    can be seen at the end of all network
    cables.
    REPEATER

    Data are carried in the form of signals over the cable.


    These signals can travel a specified distance
    (usually about 100 m). Signals lose their strength
    beyond this limit and become weak. In such
    conditions, original signals need to be regenerated.
    A repeater is an analog device that works with signals
    on the cables to which it is connected. The weakened
    signal appearing on the cable is regenerated and put
    back on the cable by a repeater
    HUB

    A network device used to connect different


    devices through wires.
    Data arriving on any of the lines are sent
    out on all the others.
    SWITCH

    A network switch is used to connect


    multiple computers or communicating
    devices.
    ROUTER

    A router (Figure 10.13) is a network device


    that can receive the data, analyse it and
    transmit it to other networks. A router
    connects a local area network to the internet.
    Compared to a hub or a switch, a router has
    advanced capabilities as it can analyse the
    data being carried over a network,
    decide/alter how it is packaged, and send it
    to another network of a different type.
    GATEWAY
    For simple Internet connectivity at homes, the
    gateway is usually the Internet Service Provider
    that provides access to the entire Internet.
    Generally, a router is configured to work as a
    gateway device in computer networks. But a
    gateway can be implemented completely in
    software, hardware, or a combination of both.
    Because a network gateway is placed at the
    edge of a network, the firewall is usually
    integrated with it.
