1 Differentiate between character oriented and bit oriented protocol.

The character-oriented protocol is depends the binary code of a character set. The code generally used is
ASCII .It is a 7-bit code with an eighth bit used for parity. A bit-oriented protocol is a communications
protocol that sees the transmitted data as an opaque stream of bits with no semantics, or meaning. Control
codes are defined in terms of bit sequences instead of characters.
2 Classify the types of data link protocol.
The types of data link protocol are MAC Medium Access Control and LLC Logical Link Control.
3 Classify different categories of networks.
a) LAN (Local Area Network):- A LAN is usually privately owned and links the devices in a single office,
building or campus.

b) MAN (Metropolitan Area Network):-A MAN is designed to extend over an entire city. c) WAN (Wide
Area Network):-WAN provides long distance transmission of data, voice, image and video information
over large geographical areas that may comprise a country, or even the whole world.
4 Discuss about the term packet switching.
Packet-switched networks move data in separate, small blocks -- packets -- based on the destination
address in each packet.
5 Define protocol.
Protocol is a set of rules that governs data communication.
6 Summarize the limitations of using a circuit-switching network for data transmission.
• As the connection is dedicated it cannot be used to transmit any other data even if the channel
is free.
• It is inefficient in terms of utilization of system resources. As resources are allocated for the
entire duration of connection, these are not available to other connections.
Dedicated channels require more bandwidth.
7 Define line configuration.
Line configuration refers to the way two or more communication devices attach to a link.
8 Write the mechanism of sliding window flow control.
The sliding window is also used in Transmission Control Protocol. In this protocol, multiple frames can
be sent by a sender at a time before receiving an acknowledgment from the receiver.
9 Analyze how many layers available in OSI model?
Application Layer, Presentation Layer, Session Layer, Transport Layer, Network Layer, Datalink Layer,
Physical Layer
10 Define the term router.
Routers, choose the best path to transmit the packet and it provides link between two separate but same-
type LANs and are most active at the network layer.
11 Mention the modes in HDLC data link control protocol.
a) NRM, b) ARM c) ABM
12 Summarize the concept of socket address.
Process to process delivery (transport layer communication) needs two identifiers, one is IP address and
the other is port number at each end to make a connection. Socket address is the combinations of IP
address and port number.
13 Classify the different cabling in Ethernet communication.

Cable Type Maximum Data Transmission Speed


Category 3 UTP 10 Mbps
Category 5 UTP 10/100 Mbps
Category 5 UTP 1000 Mbps
Category 6 UTP or STP 1000 Mbps
14 Point out the limitations of RS-232.
Supports lower speed for long distances. Higher speed (i.e. 115200 baud) can be achieved for short
distances only. S232 interface requires separate transceiver chips which will add cost to the system.
It is used for single master and single slave configuration and not for single master-multiple slaves
mode. It is unbalanced transmission.
15 Write the difference between Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.

Basis For Comparison Fast Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet


Basic Offers 100 Mbps speed. Provide 1 Gbps speed.
Delay Generate more delay. Less comparatively.
Complicated and
Configuration Simple create more errors.
16 Mention the various functions of bridges.
Bridges operate in both the physical layer and the data link layers of the OSI model. When a frame enters
a bridge, the bridges not only regenerate the signal but check the address of the destination and forwards
the new copy only to the segment to which the address belongs.
17 Point out the various modes of operation in RS-485.
Single ended and differential modes.

Single-Ended Signalling

Differential Signalling
18 Analyze various functions of Devicenet.
DeviceNet is a multi-byte oriented protocol of CAN message format used to interconnect lower level
devices(actuators, sensors) to higher level devices(controllers
19 List the Configuration and features of ARC net.
Attached Resource Computer Network (ARCnet) is a type of LAN protocol that provides network
services to 255 nodes at data rates of up to 2.5 Mbps.
20 Assess the main reasons for collision on an Ethernet network.
A collision is an event that happens on an Ethernet network when two stations simultaneously “talk” on
the wire. Collisions are a normal part of life in an Ethernet network, and under most circumstances should
not be considered a problem.
