Computer Networking Fundamentals
Apr 2nd
The sharing of fax machines, printers, and modems amongst many computers and users reduce the operational cost. A database on a computer network is a very important application as it stores and runs many important data and jobs. Emails and chats can be used for instantaneous communication and sending of files on a computer network.
The computer networks are classified, depending upon the size, as Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN), Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) and Personal Area Networks (PAN). The topology (topology is the way the computer networks and network resources are connected) of the networking can be classified as Bus Network, Ring Network and Star Network.
The networking hardware basically consists of wiring, network cards and a hub. Computer network cards are required so that one computer can understand what the other computer is “talking”. Network cards have a unique MAC address to identify computers on a computer network. Hubs connect all the computers in the network. Hubs can also be used to connect to other hubs to increase the size of the computer network. Two computers can be connected using Ethernet cards or phone lines or power lines for communication, with hardware kits available at roughly a cost of $100.
As the number of computers in an office or a home increases, so do the number of cables, so wireless networking is a viable solution. In wireless networking radio transreceivers or infrared signals are used to communicate between computers and devices. Examples of wireless networking include Wi-fi and Bluetooth technology, though there may be security issues involved in wireless networking. However there definitely is a stronger preference towards wireless networking nowadays among consumers.

Computer is a collection of several components working together. Some of these components are essential, others add more performance. Adding extra parts expands the variety of task we can accomplish with computer.
Computer is made up of the following parts CPU and Peripherals. Software is the program that runs on hardware. It is classified into Application software and System Software. System Software has set of programs which control and co-ordinate the entire computer system. Application software is used to perform particular task.
The CPU Controls and executes all our computer operations. It ensures that the correct character is displayed on the monitor when you press a key on the keyboard. Cables from the CPU are connected to Keyboard, Monitor, Mouse, Printer etc. The brain behind all processes of the computer is contained within the system unit. Inside the system unit there are so many components available.
All the electronic components in a PC are mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), called the motherboard. Thin lines of metal on the surface of the fiberglass connect pins from one component to another, forming the computer`s electronic circuits. The Microprocessor, or Central Processing Unit (CPU), is the computer`s most important component.
It performs all the operations inside the computer. Random Access Memory (RAM) is used for the purpose of holding the information or data inside the program when the computer is running. When the computer is switched off, data present inside the RAM is also lost. RAM chips or modules can be added to empty ram chip slots. Floppy disk drive consists of a slot to accept a floppy disk, Recording/reading device helps us to read the data present on the floppy. This Floppy disk drive is provided by a motor which reads the data present in the floppy.
