OVERVIEW AND HISTORY TELECOMMUNICATIONS MORSE CODE TELETYPE MACHINES
3
MORSE CODE Morse code is a method of transmitting textual information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment Wikipedia

Morse Code
5
Morse Code Device
6
History (Contd) Telephone Now Sending Pictures, Voice and Data is possible TV Fax Machine, Mobile Phones
7
OVERVIEW AND HISTORY (2) Computer Communications Started after Telecommunications In 50's, 60's Computer used for Data Processing Only
8
History (2) Contd Advanced Network Systems developed by Military and NASA
9
NETWORKS Telephone is oldest Network system. Can be connected using Handset and wires. Still exist and very popular.
11
Connection For n people total connection needs n(n-1)/2 wires or lines. Therefore for 100 people need 100(100-1)/2 lines This is not feasible for economic and technical reasons when n is a large number. So switching centers were developed.
12
Switching Centers
13
Originally an operator would connect people. the operator’s role is carried out by computer programs and is referred to as switching. Hence it is now called the P.S.T.N, the Public Switched Telephone Network.
14
Computer Networks The simplest Computer Network is two Personal computers (PC’s) connected This would require them to be in the same room.
15
Question ??? How can two PC’s be connected together that are not in the same building, town or even country. Is there an existing network that can be used? Under-sea Cables, Satellite..
16
PSTN The problem is that the P.S.T.N. was designed to carry voice signals, that is analogue or continuously variable signals. Computers work with digital signals. How do we get around this?
17
PSTN (Contd)
19
Modem The above diagram shows from left to right a computer sending digital signals to a modem. The modem modulates the digital signal to an analogue signal then sends the signal down a phone line. At the other end of the phone line another modem demodulates the incoming signal from an analogue signal to a digital one. Modem stands for Modulate Demodulate
20
Why Network Computers? Shared Resources (1) Hardware Printers Plotters Scanners Modems
21
Shared Resources (2) Software Software stored centrally on a computer with a large amount of memory and hard disk storage capacity. Software can be downloaded to the networked computers. This centralized computer is called a server (File/Domain/Web etc ) Communication Security
22
Contd. Communications Electronic Mail systems (Email) File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Internet and Intranet Access World Wide Web Access
23
Contd. Security Control of Passwords Control Loading of Software Virus Prevention and Detection
24
NETWORK TYPES OR CATEGORIZATION Networks can be described by either their SIZE or by their TOPOLOGY Topology means the logical organization of the Network
25
SIZE Local Area Network (LAN) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Wide Area Network (WAN) Campus Area Network (CAN)
26
TOPOLOGY Star Network Bus Network Ring Network Mesh Network

THE INTERNET Network of Networks Communicating together using common protocols TCP/IP is widely used protocol. It includes commercial (.com.np or.com), educational (.edu.np ), other research networks (.org.np,.net ), Government (.gov.np) and military networks (.mil.np)
32
WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW) One of the services available using the Internet to provide a distributed information retrieval system. It was invented and developed at the Cern High – Energy Physics laboratory in Geneva and introduced to the public in 1991. The Web is a collection of documents containing text and graphics that are linked together using Hypertext links
33
WWW (Contd) These links allow you to jump to another page instead of reading in a linear manner. The Web uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, (HTTP), for the exchange of Hypertext Markup Language, (HTML), documents. Hypertext links, embedded inside documents, refer to other documents by their Uniform Resource Locators (URL).
34
Intranet Any network which provides similar services within an organization. The commonest example is the use by a company of one or more World-Wide Web servers on an internal TCP/IP network for distribution of information within the company.
35
Extranet The extension of a company's intranet out onto the Internet, e.g. to allow selected customers, suppliers and mobile workers to access the company's private data and applications via the World-Wide Web. This is in contrast to, and usually in addition to, the company's public web site which is accessible to everyone.
