MAC Address



media access control address (MAC address) of a device is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC). For communications within a network segment, it is used as a network address for most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth

Format of MAC Address –

MAC Address is a 12-digit hexadecimal number (6-Byte binary number), which is mostly represented by Colon-Hexadecimal notation. First 6-digits (say 00:40:96) of MAC Address identifies the manufacturer, called as OUI (Organizational Unique Identifier). IEEE Registration Authority Committee assign these MAC prefixes to its registered vendors.
Here are some OUI of well known manufacturers :
CC:46:D6 - Cisco 
3C:5A:B4 - Google, Inc.
3C:D9:2B - Hewlett Packard
00:9A:CD - HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO.,LTD

Digital Transmission




















Image







  Data can be represented either in analog or digital form. The computers used the digital form to store the information. Therefore, the data needs to be converted in digital form so that it can be used by a computer.   DIGITAL-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION   Digital-to-digital encoding is the representation of digital information by a digital signal. When binary 1s and 0s generated by the computer are translated into a sequence of voltage pulses that can be propagated over a wire, this process is known as digital-to-digital encoding.    Digital-to-digital encoding is divided into three categories:   Unipolar Encoding  Polar Encoding  Bipolar Encoding       Unipolar   Digital transmission system sends the voltage pulses over the medium link such as wire or cable.  In most types of encoding, one voltage level represents 0, and another voltage level represents 1.  The polarity of each pulse determines whether it is positive or negative.  This type of encoding is known as Unipolar encoding as it ...

What is Topology?




















Image







    Topology defines the structure of the network of how all the components are interconnected to each other. There are two types of topology: physical and logical topology.   Physical topology is the geometric representation of all the nodes in a network.     Bus Topology    The bus topology is designed in such a way that all the stations are connected through a single cable known as a backbone cable.  Each node is either connected to the backbone cable by drop cable or directly connected to the backbone cable.  When a node wants to send a message over the network, it puts a message over the network. All the stations available in the network will receive the message whether it has been addressed or not.  The bus topology is mainly used in 802.3 (ethernet) and 802.4 standard networks.  The configuration of a bus topology is quite simpler as compared to other topologies.  The backbone cable is considered as a  "single lane"  through which the message is broadcast to all the st...

 5(A) W ebsite Development Timeline When you think of building a website, your thoughts rotate around two main issues – price and time. These two values depend largely on the size and scope of the project. To outline the whole development process, you can create a website development timeline, adding tasks, and establishing milestones for your project. It is the best way to track your project implementation to make sure you keep up with the deadline. The Web Site Design and Development Process There are numerous steps in the web site design and development process. From gathering initial information, to the creation of your web site, and finally to maintenance to keep your web site up to date and current.   The exact process will vary slightly from designer to designer, but the basics are the same.   1. Information Gathering   2. Planning   3. Design   4. Development  5. Testing and Delivery   6. Maintenance   5(B)  <div style="text-align:center;">  ...
