Key Terms
It is the integration of two or more computers to form the data interchange.
Computer Network
What is the acronym of Wi-Fi?
Wireless Fidelity
It is a communication system used to replace, alternate or addicted on to the legacy cable network.
Wireless Network or WLAN
It is a computer network in the nearby area or in the same area such as in the same department, office, or building.
Local Area Network (LAN)
This cable type use copper wire to be the core and insulate throughout the length by the copper mesh in order to prevent from interference signal.
Cable Coaxial
It means to transmit signals or power (which could be news or information in various forms) between sender and the far away recipient.
Telecommunication
What is the acronym of WLAN?
Wireless Local Area Network
This type of Wireless application use the antenna to transmit signals between faraway buildings. By installing an antenna on each building, then two or more networks can send and receive signals between each other.
Directional Antennas
It is a city level network. It is a network under the organization’s policy to link the remote branches to together, such as banking network.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
This type of cable is used in telephone systems.The cable consists of 1 to many pairs of twist copper wire which diameter is between 0.016 to 0.035 inch.
Twisted Pair Cable
It refers to the transmission of data or information from their origin to a remote receiver through any media of communication channels.
Data Communication
What is the acronym of ANSI?
American National Standards Institute
What is the other name for IEEE 802.11b standard?
Wi-Fi
Each computer on the network have the same status or same priority.
Peer-to-Peer Network
It is used to connect between the hub and the computer. The line arrangement on both end sides of the cable will need to meet EIA/TIA 568B.
Patch Cord
It is a signal in the waveform that is generated continuously . It can be changed the level of size up - down (Amplitude) and the size of wideness (Frequency) called Hertz.
Analog Signal
What is the acronym of IEEE?
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
What is the meaning/acronym of MIMO?
Multiple Input Multiple Output
This computer network has one or more main computer to serve various services and resources to all members called Server.
Client/Server Network
It is used to connect between hub or switch. The standard of line arrangement need EIA/TIA 568A and the other end need to be EIA/TIA 568B.
Cross Over
It can be called “Pulse Signal“. It is the signal that has only two levels of change in electric current pressure (high and low).
Digital Signal
What is the acronym of ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange
It is the infrastructure system being used in case of facilitated connection in the large area such as warehouses, university, large building and so on.
Multiple Access Points
This Topology is the first style of wiring system. The whole system is formed easily by the use of direct connection to every station.
Mesh Topology
It is the key component of the optical fiber, which is in the center of the cable.
