Best Answer

Because without the network card in the work station it would have no way to communicate with the central server which probably stores all the information centrally, obviously. It is also related to the sharing of printers and the internet around in the network.

Therefore the use of the network card is to allow communication between the work station and the server via ethernet cables and network bridges.

These could also be wireless meaning cableing would not be needed, but are not as quick or reliable, and also has a far greater risk of getting hacked into the network.

What is the need of having a GMSC in GSM network when there is an MSC?

A normal MSC will connect BSC to the PLMN/PSTN Network directly. Meaning to say it will need to do the call connections and management from BSC all the way to PLMN/PSTN network. Once the network expands, the MSC will face congestion and therefore a solution needed. GMSC - Gateway MSC, as the name implies, will in this case serve as an interconnection between MSC and PLMN/PSTN Network. Thus this free up the resources of the MSC itself need to perform all the originally tasks.

What is a ribbon parameter card?

The "ribbon parameter card" is a little chip that is delivered with every newly bought pack of ribbons. You need to insert this card in the fitting slot of the printer (at the backside I assume), and let the printer read the contents of the chip. Once finished, you can remove the card. You need to follow this procedure for the printer to be able to work with the new ribbon. If you do not have the chip for that ribbon you can not use it.


What is the need for telecommunication networks?

A telecommunications network is a collection of terminals, links and nodes which connect to enable telecommunication between users of the terminals. Networks may use circuit switching or message switching. Each terminal in the network must have a unique address so messages or connections can be routed to the correct recipients. The collection of addresses in the network is called the address space.The links connect the nodes together and are themselves built upon an underlying transmission network which physically pushes the message across the link.Examples of telecommunications networks are:computer networksthe internetthe telephone networkthe global Telex network A telecommunications network is a collection of terminals, links and nodes which connect to enable telecommunication between users of the terminals.

What do you mean by work stations?

A workstation - is a dedicated terminal on a network powered by a file-server. The workstation doesn't usually have the ability to transfer files to floppy disk - instead, all work is saved on the file-server. All software on the network is also held on the file-server, and each user accesses the program(s) they need by logging-on. A typical system would be a network of UNIX terminals.
