Fundamentals of a Network

Fundamentals of Network

i. Name the device to which all the computers are connected in the given star topology.


A hub or switch is used to connect the computers to a server in the given star topology

ii. Mention any ONE advantage of using the bus topology instead of the star topology.

The advantages of bus topology over start topology are such:

·       bus topology is cheaper than start topology.

·       it required less cable length than a start topology.

·       it is easy to maintain.

iii. Describe any THREE differences between peer-to-peer and client/ server network model.

PEER-TO-PEER MODEL

CLIENT-SERVER MODEL

All computers have equal ability

The server will have control ability over the clients

It does not require a server therefore it is not a centralized network

It will always have a server hence it is a centralized network

It is not a very secure network

It is a more secured network architecture

Notes on Basics of Computer

      Q. Amjad has recently joined an organisation as a civil engineer. He needs a number of input and output devices to perform various tasks at the office. Suggest ONE appropriate device to perform each task. i . He needs a device with built-in CAD programs for designers. The device would move pens of different colours in vertical and horizontal directions to draw on paper while the paper retains stationary. Flatbed Plotter ii. He needs a device that prints coloured printouts of documents containing photos with vivid colours and high contrast. Inkjet Printer iii. He requires a device which converts handwritten documents into digital form which can be stored and viewed on the computer. Scanner   Complete each statement using an appropriate term from the box. Each term should be used only ONCE. i . ____Digital Computer____ performs arithmetic and logic operations with discrete values. ii. ______Compiler_____________ tr

Show whether the given statements are TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer with the help of working. (Note: No marks will be awarded if working is not shown) Statement TRUE/ FALSE Working 1536 GB is greater than 1.5 TB. TRUE 1 TB= 1000 GB 1.5TB = 1.5*1000 = 1500 GB 1536 GB> 1500 GB 700 KB is smaller than 1 MB. True 1 MB =    1000 KB 700KB < 1000 KB 56320 bytes is equal to 55 KB. False 1 KB =1000 Bytes 55 KB= 1000* 55   = 55000 bytes 55000 bytes ≠ 56320 bytes   5200 bits is greater than 650 bytes   False 1 byte= 8 bits 5200 bits = 5200 /8 = 650 bytes 650 bytes = 650 bytes   Define <![if !supportLists]> 1.       <![endif]> Command Line Interface (CLI) <![if !supportLists]> ·        <![endif]> This interface requires the us
