COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
• A sending device that initiates an instruction
to transmit data, instructions, or information.
• A communications device that connects the
sending device to a communications channel.
• A communications channel, or transmission
media on which the data, instructions, or
information travel.
• A communications device that connects the
communications channel to a receiving device.
• A receiving device that accepts the transmission
of data, instructions, or information. 8
COMMUNICATION DEVICES
• Hardware or equipment which are designed to
transfer signals or data from a sender to
receiver.
• Example: Hub, switch, modem, router, repeater,
access point, network interface card (NIC).
9
TRANSMISSION MEDIA
Transmission media consist of materials or
substances capable of carrying one or more
signals.
(Shelly, 2012)
• A communications channel, or
transmission media on which the data,
instructions, or information travel.
10
TYPES OF TRANSMISSION MEDIA
1. Wired transmission media
▪ The transmission of signals or data by means of
wire, cable, or other physical connections between a
sender (transmitter) and a receiver.
▪ Example: Fiber-optic cable, Cable television(coaxial
cable) and telephone networks(twisted-pair cable)
11
TYPES OF TRANSMISSION MEDIA
2. Wireless transmission media
▪ Wireless transmission media send
communications signals through the air or space
using radio, microwave and infrared signals
▪ The sender and receiver are not connected by any
electrical or optical wires/cables.
▪ Example : cellular radio, satellite, broadcast radio,
microwaves, bluetooth, infrared
12
ADVANTAGES OF USING A NETWORK?
Facilitating
communications
Sharing hardware
Sharing data and
information
Sharing software Transferring funds
13
Using a network, people communicate efficiently and easily via
e-mail, instant messaging, chat rooms, blogs, wikis, online social
networks, video telephone calls, online meetings,
video conferencing, VoIP, wireless messaging services, and
groupware.
• Sharing hardware
In a networked environment, each computer on the network can
have access to all hardware on the network.
• Sharing data and information
In a networked environment, any authorized computer user can
access data and information stored on other computers
on the network.
• Facilitating communications
14
• Sharing data and information
In a networked environment, any authorized computer user can
access data and information stored on other computers on the
network.
• Sharing software
Users connected to a network have access to software on the
network.
• Transferring funds
Called electronic funds transfer (EFT ), it allows users connected to a
network to transfer money from one bank account to another via
transmission media.
15
Discovering Computers : Chapter 9• Page 470
• Figure 9-9
16
DISADVANTAGES OF USING A NETWORK?
• Viruses
When computers are connected by a network, the virus can spread itself
electronically, at computer speeds.
• Network failure
If the file server fails then no-one on the network can access any files or
folders. This means that nobody can do any work. For an organization, this
would be extremely costly and disruptive.
• Slow service
As more users log onto the network and request files, send things to be
printed and open more software applications, the network can start to slow
down.
17
DISADVANTAGES OF USING A NETWORK?
• Cost
Every workstation needs a network interface card to enable it to be
connected to the network. Other hardware such as hubs, switches and
routers are often needed.
• Expert support required
Networks need constant monitoring to ensure that the performance is
maintained and that all of the components are working properly. This
requires specialist staff such as network managers and technicians who
will spend all of their time ensuring that the network works efficiently
whenever you need to use it. These staff add a large cost to running a
network, but without them, things would start to fail.

3.1.2 Network
Architecture
At the end of this topic, students
should be able to:
- Explain types of network
architecture
1
WHAT TO COVER?
Type of network architecture
• Peer-to-peer
• Client/Server
Differentiate between
client/server and peer-to-
peer networks, and describe
how a peer-to-peer network
works
2
NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
• The design of computers, devices, and media on a
network is sometimes called the network
architecture
Pages 473 – 474
Figures 9-13 – 9-14
Discovering Computers : Chapter 9
3
Client/server network Peer-to-peer network
1. PEER-TO-PEER
• Each computer, called a peer, has equal responsibilities
and capabilities , sharing hardware (such as a printer),
data and information with other computers.
Page 475
Figure 9-15

client
server
Server
Server, sometimes called a host computer,
controls access to the hardware, software, and
other resources on the network and provides
a centralized storage area for programs, data,
and information.
Client
Clients are other computers and mobile
devices on the network that rely on the server
for its resources
6
PEER-TO-PEER VERSUS CLIENT-SERVER
Num Peer-to-peer Client-server
1. Every user is taking care
of his/her own machine so
could be difficult to
administer the network
Centralized control by the server
can be more efficient at
administering the whole network.
2. Easy to install and
configure for the
computers in the network.
Network professionals are
normally needed to manage and
maintain the whole network.
3. Cost to install and
maintain network is
inexpensive.
Cost to install and manage the
network can be expensive.
4. Each computer has equal
responsibilities and
capabilities.
Only servers have high
responsibilities and capabilities.

3.1.3 Network Topology
At the end of this topic, students
should be able to:
- Explain types of network
topology
1
NETWORKS
• A network topology refers to the layout of the
nodes (computers and devices) in a
communications network
Pages 475 – 477

A network topology refers to the
layout ofthe computers and devices in
a communications network.
It refers to both the physical and
logical layout of a network.
What Is a Topology?
3
Physical Topology
- The arrangement of a cabling is the physical
topology.
Logical Topology
- The path that data travels between computers
on a network is the logical topology.
LAYOUT OF NETWORK
4
Types of network topology
Three commonly used network topologies
are:
• Bus
network
• Star
network
• Ring
network
5
Diagram of different network topologies

Bus Network Topology
- A bus network consists of a single central
cable (backbone), to which all computers and
other devices connect.
T-Connector
Terminato
r
BackboneT-Connector
Nodes
7
• Each devices is connected to the single central
cable(backbone) through T-Connector.
• A terminator is required at each end of the bus
cable to prevent the signal from bouncing back
and forth on the bus cable.
T-Connector
Terminat
or
Backbone
Bus Network Topology
8
• Transmit data, instructions, and information as a series
of signal.
• Those signals are sent as electrical pulses that travel
along the length of the cable in all directions.
Bus Network Topology
9
• When a sending device transmits data, the address of
the receiving device is included with the
transmission.
• If the device address does not match the intended
address for the data, the device ignores the data.
• If the data does match the device address, the data is
accepted.
• All devices receive the data but only the receiving
device accept them.
Bus Network Topology
10
Advantages:
1. Bus networks are inexpensive and easy to install.
2. Computers and other devices can be attached and
detached at any point on the bus without disturbing
the rest of the network.
3. Failure of one device usually does not affect the rest
of the bus network.
Bus Network Topology
11
Disadvantages:
1. There might be disruption when computer or
other devices are added or removed.
2. Because all systems on the network connect to
a single cable or backbone, a break in the cable
will prevent all systems from accessing the
network.
3. It is difficult to identify the problem if the entire
network shut down.
Bus Network Topology
12
Star Network Topology
• All the computers and other devices on the
network connect to a central device,
thus forming a star.
Hub / Switch 13
- Two types of devices that provide a common
central connection point to all the other
devices on the network are a hub and a
switch.
Star Network Topology
Hub / Switch 14
● The device that provides a common central connection
point for other devices on a network.
● All data that transfers from one device to another
passes through the hub or switch.
● The hub takes a signal that comes from any device
and passes it along to all the other devices in the
network.
● The switch takes a signal that comes from any device
and passes it to intended devices in the network
Hub / Switch
Star Network Topology
15
Advantages:
1. If one device fails, only that device is
affected.
2. Devices can be added to or removed from
network with little or no disruption.
3. Easy to troubleshoot and isolate problem.
Star Network Topology
16
Disadvantages:
1. If the hub or switch fails, the entire network
will be inoperabled.
2. Requires more cable than most of the other
topologies.
3. More expensive because of the cost of the
hub/switch.
Star Network Topology
17
Ring Network Topology
● On a ring network, a cable forms a closed
loop(ring) with all computers and devices
arranged along the ring.
18
● Data transmitted on a ring network travels from device
to device around the entire ring, in one direction
(clockwise or counterclockwise)
● Token passing is one method for sending data around
a ring
● Each device takes a turn sending and receiving
information through the use of a token.
Ring Network Topology
19
● The token along with any data is sent from the
first device to the second device which extracts the
data addressed to it and adds any data it wishes
to send.
● Then second device passes the token and data to
the third device, etc. until it comes back around to
the first device again.
● Only the device with the token is allowed to send
data . All other devices must wait for the token to
come to them.
Ring Network Topology
20
Ring Network Topology
21
Advantages:
1. The transmission of data is relatively
simple as packets travel in one direction only.
2. Cable faults are easily located, making
troubleshooting easier.
3. The uses of token passing enables all devices in
a ring topology to share the network resources
fairly.
Ring Network Topology
22
Disadvantages:
1. A failure in any cable or device breaks the
loop and can take down the entire network.
2. Data packets must pass through every computer
therefore, this makes it slower.
3. A ring network can span a larger distance than a
bus network, but it is more difficult to install.

  • 2. Chapter Three 3.1 Network Basic 3.1.1 Basic Concept of Network At the end of this topic, students should be able to: - Explain the concept of network 2
  • 3. WHAT TO COVER? • Definition of network • Communication device • Transmission media • Advantages and disadvantages of network 3
  • 4. WHAT IS A NETWORK? A collection of computers and devices connected together via communication device and transmission media to share resources. (Shelly,2016) Discovering Computers : Chapter 9 Pages 470 - 471 4
  • 5. WHAT IS A NETWORK? A network is basically a wired or wireless network that connects together a group of computing resources such as computers, printers and servers, which are located at different places. (Yew, Low, 2014) Discovering Computers : Chapter 9 Pages 470 - 471 5
  • 6. Discovering Computers : Chapter 9 Pages 460 6
  • 8. COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM • A sending device that initiates an instruction to transmit data, instructions, or information. • A communications device that connects the sending device to a communications channel. • A communications channel, or transmission media on which the data, instructions, or information travel. • A communications device that connects the communications channel to a receiving device. • A receiving device that accepts the transmission of data, instructions, or information. 8
  • 9. COMMUNICATION DEVICES • Hardware or equipment which are designed to transfer signals or data from a sender to receiver. • Example: Hub, switch, modem, router, repeater, access point, network interface card (NIC). 9
  • 10. TRANSMISSION MEDIA Transmission media consist of materials or substances capable of carrying one or more signals. (Shelly, 2012) • A communications channel, or transmission media on which the data, instructions, or information travel. 10
  • 11. TYPES OF TRANSMISSION MEDIA 1. Wired transmission media ▪ The transmission of signals or data by means of wire, cable, or other physical connections between a sender (transmitter) and a receiver. ▪ Example: Fiber-optic cable, Cable television(coaxial cable) and telephone networks(twisted-pair cable) 11
  • 12. TYPES OF TRANSMISSION MEDIA 2. Wireless transmission media ▪ Wireless transmission media send communications signals through the air or space using radio, microwave and infrared signals ▪ The sender and receiver are not connected by any electrical or optical wires/cables. ▪ Example : cellular radio, satellite, broadcast radio, microwaves, bluetooth, infrared 12
  • 13. ADVANTAGES OF USING A NETWORK? Facilitating communications Sharing hardware Sharing data and information Sharing software Transferring funds 13
  • 14. Using a network, people communicate efficiently and easily via e-mail, instant messaging, chat rooms, blogs, wikis, online social networks, video telephone calls, online meetings, video conferencing, VoIP, wireless messaging services, and groupware. • Sharing hardware In a networked environment, each computer on the network can have access to all hardware on the network. • Sharing data and information In a networked environment, any authorized computer user can access data and information stored on other computers on the network. • Facilitating communications 14
  • 15. • Sharing data and information In a networked environment, any authorized computer user can access data and information stored on other computers on the network. • Sharing software Users connected to a network have access to software on the network. • Transferring funds Called electronic funds transfer (EFT ), it allows users connected to a network to transfer money from one bank account to another via transmission media. 15
  • 16. Discovering Computers : Chapter 9• Page 470 • Figure 9-9 16
  • 17. DISADVANTAGES OF USING A NETWORK? • Viruses When computers are connected by a network, the virus can spread itself electronically, at computer speeds. • Network failure If the file server fails then no-one on the network can access any files or folders. This means that nobody can do any work. For an organization, this would be extremely costly and disruptive. • Slow service As more users log onto the network and request files, send things to be printed and open more software applications, the network can start to slow down. 17
  • 18. DISADVANTAGES OF USING A NETWORK? • Cost Every workstation needs a network interface card to enable it to be connected to the network. Other hardware such as hubs, switches and routers are often needed. • Expert support required Networks need constant monitoring to ensure that the performance is maintained and that all of the components are working properly. This requires specialist staff such as network managers and technicians who will spend all of their time ensuring that the network works efficiently whenever you need to use it. These staff add a large cost to running a network, but without them, things would start to fail. 18
  • 19. Chapter Three 3.1 Network Basic 3.1.2 Network Architecture At the end of this topic, students should be able to: - Explain types of network architecture 1
  • 20. WHAT TO COVER? Type of network architecture • Peer-to-peer • Client/Server Differentiate between client/server and peer-to- peer networks, and describe how a peer-to-peer network works 2
  • 21. NETWORK ARCHITECTURE • The design of computers, devices, and media on a network is sometimes called the network architecture Pages 473 – 474 Figures 9-13 – 9-14 Discovering Computers : Chapter 9 3 Client/server network Peer-to-peer network
  • 22. 1. PEER-TO-PEER • Each computer, called a peer, has equal responsibilities and capabilities , sharing hardware (such as a printer), data and information with other computers. Page 475 Figure 9-15 Discovering Computers : Chapter 9 4 Peer-to-peer networkpeer peer
  • 23. 2. CLIENT-SERVER • One or more computers act as a server, and the other computers on the network request services from the server. Page 475 Figure 9-15 Discovering Computers : Chapter 9 5 client server
  • 24. Server Server, sometimes called a host computer, controls access to the hardware, software, and other resources on the network and provides a centralized storage area for programs, data, and information. Client Clients are other computers and mobile devices on the network that rely on the server for its resources 6
  • 25. PEER-TO-PEER VERSUS CLIENT-SERVER Num Peer-to-peer Client-server 1. Every user is taking care of his/her own machine so could be difficult to administer the network Centralized control by the server can be more efficient at administering the whole network. 2. Easy to install and configure for the computers in the network. Network professionals are normally needed to manage and maintain the whole network. 3. Cost to install and maintain network is inexpensive. Cost to install and manage the network can be expensive. 4. Each computer has equal responsibilities and capabilities. Only servers have high responsibilities and capabilities. 7
  • 26. Chapter Three 3.1 Network Basic 3.1.3 Network Topology At the end of this topic, students should be able to: - Explain types of network topology 1
  • 27. NETWORKS • A network topology refers to the layout of the nodes (computers and devices) in a communications network Pages 475 – 477 Figures 9-16 – 9-18 Discovering Computers : Chapter 9 2 Star network Bus network Ring network
  • 28. A network topology refers to the layout ofthe computers and devices in a communications network. It refers to both the physical and logical layout of a network. What Is a Topology? 3
  • 29. Physical Topology - The arrangement of a cabling is the physical topology. Logical Topology - The path that data travels between computers on a network is the logical topology. LAYOUT OF NETWORK 4
  • 30. Types of network topology Three commonly used network topologies are: • Bus network • Star network • Ring network 5
  • 31. Diagram of different network topologies Ring Star Bus 6
  • 32. Bus Network Topology - A bus network consists of a single central cable (backbone), to which all computers and other devices connect. T-Connector Terminato r BackboneT-Connector Nodes 7
  • 33. • Each devices is connected to the single central cable(backbone) through T-Connector. • A terminator is required at each end of the bus cable to prevent the signal from bouncing back and forth on the bus cable. T-Connector Terminat or Backbone Bus Network Topology 8
  • 34. • Transmit data, instructions, and information as a series of signal. • Those signals are sent as electrical pulses that travel along the length of the cable in all directions. Bus Network Topology 9
  • 35. • When a sending device transmits data, the address of the receiving device is included with the transmission. • If the device address does not match the intended address for the data, the device ignores the data. • If the data does match the device address, the data is accepted. • All devices receive the data but only the receiving device accept them. Bus Network Topology 10
  • 36. Advantages: 1. Bus networks are inexpensive and easy to install. 2. Computers and other devices can be attached and detached at any point on the bus without disturbing the rest of the network. 3. Failure of one device usually does not affect the rest of the bus network. Bus Network Topology 11
  • 37. Disadvantages: 1. There might be disruption when computer or other devices are added or removed. 2. Because all systems on the network connect to a single cable or backbone, a break in the cable will prevent all systems from accessing the network. 3. It is difficult to identify the problem if the entire network shut down. Bus Network Topology 12
  • 38. Star Network Topology • All the computers and other devices on the network connect to a central device, thus forming a star. Hub / Switch 13
  • 39. - Two types of devices that provide a common central connection point to all the other devices on the network are a hub and a switch. Star Network Topology Hub / Switch 14
  • 40. ● The device that provides a common central connection point for other devices on a network. ● All data that transfers from one device to another passes through the hub or switch. ● The hub takes a signal that comes from any device and passes it along to all the other devices in the network. ● The switch takes a signal that comes from any device and passes it to intended devices in the network Hub / Switch Star Network Topology 15
  • 41. Advantages: 1. If one device fails, only that device is affected. 2. Devices can be added to or removed from network with little or no disruption. 3. Easy to troubleshoot and isolate problem. Star Network Topology 16
  • 42. Disadvantages: 1. If the hub or switch fails, the entire network will be inoperabled. 2. Requires more cable than most of the other topologies. 3. More expensive because of the cost of the hub/switch. Star Network Topology 17
  • 43. Ring Network Topology ● On a ring network, a cable forms a closed loop(ring) with all computers and devices arranged along the ring. 18
  • 44. ● Data transmitted on a ring network travels from device to device around the entire ring, in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) ● Token passing is one method for sending data around a ring ● Each device takes a turn sending and receiving information through the use of a token. Ring Network Topology 19
  • 45. ● The token along with any data is sent from the first device to the second device which extracts the data addressed to it and adds any data it wishes to send. ● Then second device passes the token and data to the third device, etc. until it comes back around to the first device again. ● Only the device with the token is allowed to send data . All other devices must wait for the token to come to them. Ring Network Topology 20
  • 47. Advantages: 1. The transmission of data is relatively simple as packets travel in one direction only. 2. Cable faults are easily located, making troubleshooting easier. 3. The uses of token passing enables all devices in a ring topology to share the network resources fairly. Ring Network Topology 22
  • 48. Disadvantages: 1. A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down the entire network. 2. Data packets must pass through every computer therefore, this makes it slower. 3. A ring network can span a larger distance than a bus network, but it is more difficult to install. Ring Network Topology 23
  • 49. DEFINITION ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES A bus network consists of a single central cable (backbone), to which all computers and other devices connect. Inexpensive and easy to install. There might be disruption when computer or other devices are added or removed. Other devices ca be attached or detached without disturbing the network. Failure of one device usually does not affect the rest of the network. The break in the main cable(backbone) will prevent all systems from accessing the network. It is difficult to identify the problem if the entire network Shut down. Summary: BUS NETWORK TOPOLOGY 24
  • 50. DEFINITION ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES All the computers and other devices on the network connect to a central device, thus forming a star. If one device fails, only that device is affected. If the hub or switch fails, the entire network will be inoperabled. Devices can be added or removed from network with no disruption. Easy to troubleshoot and isolate problem. Requires more cables than most of the other topologies. More expensive because of the cost of hub/switch. Summary: STAR NETWORK TOPOLOGY 25
  • 51. Summary: DEFINITION ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES On a ring network, a cable forms a closed loop (ring) with all computers and devices arranged along the ring. Transmission of data is simple as packets travel in one direction only. A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down entire network. Cable faults are easily located, making troubleshooting easier. All devices in ring topolgy share the network resources fairly. Data packets must pass through every computer, thus make it slower.
