Fundamentals of Data &
Signals
Summary Questions
1.
Distinguish between digital and analog signals
Answer: (see class notes for details if needed):


Analog: Continuous waveform, State of signal (voltage
level, etc.) varies continuously among an infinite
number of states
Digital: Discrete (non-continuous) waveform, State of
signal remain constant during each clock-cycle, Few
possible states
2. Distinguish between digital and binary transmission
Answer: Digital: Few possible states (2-64 states)
Binary: 2 states
9
Attenuation
10

A signal starts at a transmitter with 10 watts of power and
arrived at a receiver with 5 watts of power. Calculate the loss
of power in dB.
1.
dB = 10 log10 (P2 / P1)
2.
dB = 10 log10 (5/10)
3.
dB = 10 log10 (0.5)
4.
dB = 10 (-0.3)
5.
dB = -3
Q: What is the decibel loss of a signal that starts at 50 watts and experiences a 10-watt loss over a given section of cable ?
Q: What is the decibel loss of a signal that loses half its power during the course of transmission ?
Frequency, Bandwidth
11
(See Fundamentals of Data & Signals – Continued ppt notes for details if needed)
Q: What is the frequency (in Hz) of a signal that repeats
80000 times within one minute ?
Answer: 80000 / 60 = 1333.33 Hz
Q: What is the bandwidth of a signal composed of frequencies
from 50 Hz to 500 Hz ?
Answer: |500 Hz – 50 Hz | = 450 Hz
Conducted and Wireless
Media
Summary Questions

13
What does cross talk interference mean ? How can crosstalk interference be reduced ?
If transmission wires are placed side by side, electromagnetic radiation is emitted by one
wire and picked up by the other. Twisting pair of wire reduce crosstalk interference.

What categories of twisted pair are usually used in LANs ?
Categories 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

What are the advantages and disadvantages of STP compared to UTP ?
Advantage: better level of isolation from interference. Disadvantage: cost

What is the main difference between Baseband coaxial cable and Broadband coaxial cable ?
Baseband transmit signals in a single channel, whereas broadband uses multiple channels.

What are the advantages of Optical fiber compared twisted pair and coaxial cable ?
Speed, No significant noise, No interference, Long distance

Can you transmit video signal over twisted pair wire ? Explain
Yes, you can (e.g. Digital Video Service or DVS). Noise used to be a limiting factor.

Summary Questions

What are the four factors to take into account in deciding how many
servers to use to implement a LAN’s services?
Answer: Optimization, reliability, security, cost

To what two devices does a print server usually connect?
Answer: To a printer via a parallel or USB cable, and to a hub/switch via UTP
or other transmission media.

In print service with a print server device, where does a print job go when it
leaves the client PC (not counting the hub or switch)?
Answer: The print job first goes to the computer where the print queue
manager program is installed, which puts it in a print queue.

Do you have to use special printers for print service?
Answer: You do not need special printers, because all printers come with a
parallel and/or USB port that could be used.
Servers

Single server Versus Multiple specialized Servers
–

Decision based on Cost, Optimization, Reliability, and Security
Optimization:
–
–
File servers need storage capacity and rapid access
Client/Server applications need very fast processors
16
17
Print Service

A Print Server device is basically: NIC + a parallel or USB
port + Random Access Memory + Intelligence to receive data
and commands from print queue manager program.
Network printers
have built-in NIC
& print server
hardware

Note: Possible to connect printer directly to file server, but
people might have to walk far to get their printout.

Summary Questions

Directory Applications has Subdirectories Databases
and WordProcessings. The Network administrator
assigns user Lee to the group Outer. The
administrator assigns Outer the access rights R, S,
and T in Directory Applications. (Don’t worry about
the meaning of R, S, and T. They are simply types
of rights.) The administrator assigns Outer the
access rights S, U, and V in Subdirectory Databases.
a) What access rights does user Lee have in
Directory Applications? Explain. b) What access
rights does user Lee have in Directory Databases?
Explain. c) What access rights does user Lee have in
Directory WordProcessings? Explain.

IP address

25
32-bits and Dotted Decimal Notation
–
IP addresses are really strings of 32 bits (1s and 0s)
 10000000101010100001000100001101
–
To convert this to dotted decimal notation, first, divide
them into four bytes (also called octets)
 10000000 10101010 00010001 00001101
(Both octets and bytes are collections of eight bits)
–
Convert each binary (Base 2) octet into decimal (Base

IP Address structure

Each IP Address has two main parts:
Network Part
Local Part

Each Organization is given the Network Part by
an IP address Registrar (e.g: www.arin.net)

For Eastern Illinois University, this is 139.67
–
All IP Addresses for Eastern’s computers begin with
that Network Part
IP Address
139.67
American Registry for Internet Numbers
Check EIU’s IP registration info
IP Address structure

Network Parts is 8 to 24 bits long
–
–
For Eastern, it is 16 bits long
16 bits is only an example
Network Part
(8 to 24 bits)

Local Part
–

Total address is 32 bits, so if the network part is 8 bits, the
local part is 24 bits
Common way to refer to IP address structure:
–
–
x.x.x.x/# (where # is the number of bits in the network part)
e.g. 139.67.0.0/16
28
29
Network classes

The value of the bits in the first octet of an IP
address determines the Network class
Class

Class A 0xxx
Class B 10xx

For each of the following IP

Host name

Host Names
–
eiu.edu
Like nicknames
 Not official addresses
 Each host must have an IP address
 But only some hosts have host names
 If you give it a host name, your browser must look
up IP address of host
Domain Name System (DNS)
31
DNS provides server’s IP addresses given their host names
Autoconfiguration

32
User PCs do not need permanent IP addresses
– They only need to be found within a use session
– They usually are given temporary IP addresses
to use on the Internet for a couple of days
– The duration of temporary address is usually a
few days. When the lease expired another
temporary address is a given.
Autoconfiguration service provides clients computers with
temporary IP addresses to use for communication with other
computers on the Internet.
Autoconfiguration

33
Request-Response Cycle
–
User software requests IP address for the user PC in
Autoconfiguration Request message
–
Autoconfiguration Response message contains temporary IP address
to use in current session
Autoconfiguration

Most popular autoconfiguration protocol is
DHCP
–
–
–

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Built into Windows after Win 3.1
Supplies host with temporary IP address
DHCP can give more information too
–
–
–
Usually gives IP address of a default gateway
(Microsoft terminology for router)
Can give IP address of a local DNS host
Can give other information
