All the data that a network transmits in chunks is called packets.

A packetis one unit of binary data capable of being routed through a computer network. To improve communication performance and reliability, each message sent between two network devices is often subdivided into packets by the underlying hardware and software.

What do you call a fiber optic cable in which the light signals follow a single path?

Baseband systems use digital signaling over a single channel. Signals flow in the form of discrete pulses of electricity or light. Figure 2.19 shows a baseband transmission with a bidirectional digital wave. With baseband transmission, the entire communication channel capacity is used to transmit a single data signal. The digital signal uses the complete bandwidth of the cable, which constitutes a single channel. The termbandwidthrefers to the data transfer capacity, or speed of transmission, of a digital communications system as measured in bits per second (bps).

What do you do if you enter your password wrong too many times on your blackberry?

You'll have to call your network provider for a PUC (Phone Unlock Code) This is a separate code from your own password which allows the network to 're-set' your handset. It's common across all networks and handsets. Your network provider will explain exactly what to do - HOWEVER - they may charge for the service as it's 'self-inflicted' - rather than an actual fault.


What technology will allow you to make telephone calls over the Internet?

VOIP Technology describes Protocols & Components to enable INTERNET as medium for Telephone Calls rather than by traditional circuit transmissions. VOIP defines the conversion and communication methods toenable translations of signalsbetween Packet Switched Networks (TCP\IP based computer network)& Circuit Switched Networks(PSTN).
