Networking Media Flashcards
These networking media use cables and are limited by physical geography
Wired or Bounded Media
In contrast to wired or bounded media, these networking media do not use any cables in transmitting data and is not bounded by physical geography
Wireless or Unbounded Media
Three (3) Transmission Modes
- Simplex Mode
- Half-duplex Mode
- Full-duplex Mode
is a connection wherein data flows in one (1) direction only (unidirectional). This type is either transmit-only or receive-only
Simplex mode
is a connection wherein data can flow in both directions, but not simultaneously (both at the same time) over a shared physical medium.
Half-duplex
is a connection wherein data simultaneously flows in both directions
Full-duplex mode
Two (2) transmission types
- Serial transmission
- Parallel transmission
is a transmission in which data with each bit lining up in a series as the bits are sent over a single wire at a time.
Serial transmission
is a transmission wherein a group of bits is sent simultaneously, but each uses a different channel
Parallel transmission
