MODEM

( MOdulation/DEModulation )The device which is used to connect and communicate with computers with the help of telephonic lines . It converts digital data into analog form and vice versa.

Working :A modem is a computer peripheral thatallows to connect and communicate with the othercomputers through telephone lines. In MoDem , Moallows to connect and communicate with the othercomputers through telephone lines. In MoDem , Mostands Modulation and Dem stands forDemodulation . Modulation means to convertdigital signals to analog signals and Demodulationis reverse of that. The data is transferred form sourceto the destination through telephone wires and theycan only understand analog signals so there is needto convert digital signals to analog . And computercan only understand digital signals . This conversionis done by MoDem.

Network Switching Techniques( 1 ) Circuit Switching : In this technique first of all the

complete physical connection between two computers is established

and then data is transmitted from the source computer to the

destination computer. Its important property is to set up an end-to-

end connection between computer before any data can be sent.

( 2 ) Message Switching : In this technique the source

computer sends data or the message to the switching office firstcomputer sends data or the message to the switching office first

which stores the data. It then looks for a free link to another

switching office and then sends the data to this office. Hence it is

also known as store and forward.

( 3 ) Packet Switching : In message switching there is no limit

on block size but in Packet switching a fixed size of packet which

can be transmitted across the network is specified. In this all the

packets of fixed size are stored in the main memory. It improves the

performance as the access time is reduced.ASHOK GARG MOBILE : 9312249405
