Answer 2

The essential components of communication are: * Sender--the originator or source of the idea. * Message--the idea. * Channel--the means of transmitting (either verbally or nonverbally) the idea. * Receiver--someone to receive and interpret the message. * Feedback--the response to the message.

Answer 3

5 Major components of data communication systems are :-

1. Message Message is the information to be communicated. The message may consist of text, numbers, pictures etc.

2. Sender Sender is a device that sends the message. Normally, computer is used as sender in data communication systems. It is also called source or transmitter.

3. Medium Medium is the physical path that connects sender and receiver. It is used to transmit data. The medium can be a copper wire, a fiber optic cable, microwaves etc.

4. Receiver Receiver is a device that receives message. It is also called sink. The receiver can be computer, printer, or another computer related device. It must be proficient of accommodating the message.

5. Protocol A protocol is a set of policies that administrates data communication. It represents an agreement between communication devices. Devices cannot communicate without protocol.

Answer 4

1) Message - the data or information that is to be sent. It could be text, picture, etc.

2) Sender - a device that transmits the message. It could be a computer, telephone, etc.

3) Receiver - a device that receive the message. It could be the same components as sender.

4) Medium - is the path through that the data is sent, wire, air, light, etc.

5) Protocol - Set of rules and regulations that should be observed by the devices.

Answer 5

Computers use communications hardware to be able to communicate with other computers. This could be a serial port and a dial-up modem. Or it could be a network card or a USB port and some sort of modem such as a cable or DSL modem. There may also be routers and network switches.

Beyond that, there are protocols. These are the software interfaces that provide the "rules and regulations" of communication. So all machines on a network would have to use the same protocol. For the internet, that would be some version of the IP Protocol.
