Star
The transmit pair of each device be connected to the receive pair of the device on the other end.
In a star topology, each device connects to a central network connectivity device such as a hub, switch, or router. These devices would be connected as a "star" (points on a star). The other characteristic of a star topology is that a failing connection will only affect the failed device unless that device is the connectivity device. This means that in most cases a failing device on a star will not take down the entire network. Another characteristic of a star is that they are easily expandable and scalable.
A crossover cable is necessary for two similar devices to talk to each other without the use of an intervening network connectivity device because the transmit and receive signals must be crossed between the two devices. This is what a hub or switch would normally do. If a normal, straight through cable were to be used it would connect the transmit signal to the transmit signal on the other device, which is equivalent to two people talking to each other at the same time with no way to listen to what they are saying. With a crossover cable the transmit signal on one end is connected to the receive signal on the other end so the two devices can talk and listen to each other.
You can use a USB cable to connect a MIDI device, such as a keyboard or controller, to your computer. Simply plug one end of the USB cable into the MIDI device and the other end into a USB port on your computer. You may need to install drivers or software to enable MIDI communication between the device and your computer.
Typically, I've heard this term used by industrial electricians. It means that a single cable, or single conductor is used to connect a device at one end, and the other end of the wire is connected directly to where it needs to be.For example; a temperature probe (in a large industrial cookie oven) has one cable connected to it, and the other end of the cable goes directly to the device that monitors the oven temperature. There are no junction boxes, wire nuts, or splices used anywhere for a device's wiring connection. Make sense???
refers to a program or device's ability to link with other programs and devices
A network cable is what is used to connect your television or other electronic device to another electronic device to receive data. The cable cord that is plugged into your television is a network cable.
The fastest check is to see the green light on the back of the PC and whatever other device you are connected to. When you unplug the cable the green light should go out. That indicates that the device on your end is seeing power from the other end. If the light is not on there is either a faulty device or a cable problem. If the light is on at both ends, and goes off when you unplug the cable you probably have a good hardware connection. If the cable is correct, there is more to check. The most common error is that the two devices are not configured to talk to each other. This is most often caused by an error in the speed and duplex settings. If one device is set to 10 mb and the other is set to 100 mb they will not talk and you will see the disconnected status. The same is true if the duplex (full/half) are set incorrectly. You may also have incompatible network protocols.
USB bus allows a Network Interface Card (NIC) to be attached externally to a computer or other device. NICs can be connected via USB ports on a device, enabling network connectivity without the need for internal expansion slots.
with an appropriate cable. The MP3 should come with a cable. This cable has one end which fits into the device and the other end is a USB thing which plugs into a USB port in the computer. one you have connected it all up it should be easy from there. :)
transferring data for one to other device
You don't say what kind of cable. If you're talking about CAT5 or 6, it's connected to pin 4.
