What connects other computers through telephone or cable televison lines?

A modem. However, there is a card that can connect computers trough telephone or cable television lines, too.

Configuring IP Addresses

How many wire pairs does CAT5 twisted pair cable contain?

Four: Generally it's Green(solid and striped), Orange(solid and striped), Blue(solid and striped), Brown(solid and striped)

How can you video conference using only the LAN network card and not the phone?

Yes most of them use Skype for online video conferencing.

You can also use Gtalk video or facebook video call.

They are free and work fine.

Video conferencingusing online video conferencing tools, such as netmeeting with microphone/speakers and netcam

More input from FAQ Farmers:

  • using socket programing in java and usin NIC card
  • We can use LAN utility for voiceconfernce.It gives superior speed and quality with no extra infrastructure.If we use phone for same,it wont have speed and quality of data.

**For a more direct way to put it:

Use an application (such as Skype) that can be downloaded free of charge. You can typically get you hands on a webcam for as little as $15 (and LESS) at your local computer or electronics store.

What is the difference between active hub and passive hub?

A Passive Hub is just a connector. It connects the wires coming from different hubs. An active hub acts as a multiport repeater. Passive hub will not regenerate the signal but active hub will regenerate the signal ....... so active hub is better.

Why should you create a disaster recovery plan and what would you put in it?

Disaster prevention is a proactive strategy focused on controls to ensure that a disaster does not happen. Disaster recovery focuses on controls in place in case a disaster does happen. How will the company recover from it to minimize damage done? Do they have backup resources and manpower to mitigate the effects of the disaster? This is thus a reactive strategy and works more in case of unpredictable disasters, such as natural disasters which cannot be prevented by man.

What are the four layers of the TCP IP model?

Layer 4 : Application Layer

Application layer defines TCP/IP application protocols and how host programs interface with transport layer services to use the network.

Protocols: HTTP,TELNET,FTP,SMTP,SNMP,TFTP,DNS etc.

Layer 3: Transport Layer

The purpose of Transport layer is to permit devices on the source and destination hosts to carry on a conversation. Transport layer defines the level of service and status of the connection used when transporting data.

Protocols: TCP and UDP

Layer 2: Internet Layer

Internet layer pack data into data packets known as IP datagrams, which contain source and destination address (logical address or IP address) information that is used to forward the datagrams between hosts and across networks. The Internet layer is also responsible for routing of IP datagrams.

Protocols: IP,ICMP,ARP,RARP,IGMP etc.

Layer 1: Network Access Layer

Network Access layer defines details of how data is physically sent through the network, including how bits are electrically or optically signaled by hardware devices that interface directly with a network medium, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber, or twisted pair copper wire.

Protocols: Ethernet,Token Ring, FDDI, X.25, Frame Relay etc.

How far can data travel over twisted pair cable without being amplified?

Most twisted pair cable is limited to 100 meters, or 330 feet, before you need to add a repeater.

An 802.11b compliant wirelesss lan configuration using DSSS can have a maximum of how many non-overlapping co-located access points?

A maximum of three co-located direct sequence system are possible because channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only theoretically nonoverlapping channels.

What are the advantages of Non-Routable protocol?

A non-routable protocol has less overhead and processing to do, and is more compact. This leads to faster transmission.

What are the default subnet masks for each one of the classes?

The default subnet masks per class are:

class A 255.0.0.0

class B 255.255.0.0

class C 255.255.255.0

What type of cabling use hub?

A hub uses straight throught cabling from clients to the hub, and uses a cross-over cable with the up-link ports to connect hubs to hubs.

Usually, the cabling is UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) wiring.

What is a fast but unreliable delivery protocol that operates on the Transport layer?

This would be UDP. The User Datagram Protocol. It has no error checking or correction or congestion measures.
