An address book in email is used for what purpose?
|
Used to store people's emails
|
|
Advantage of Teleconferencing
|
It reduces costs by simulating face-to-face meetings.
|
|
Asynchronous transmission is...
|
sending data by identifying each byte with a special start & stop bit
|
|
Audio conferencing or Teleconferencing is what?
|
A single phone call involving 3 or more people at different locations.
|
|
Describe Bandwidth
|
The Bandwidth is the capacity of the channel, or transmission medium.
|
|
The Baud Rate is....
|
The maximum number of data symbols or electrical signals that can be transmitted in one second
|
|
Bits per Second (bps) is....
|
The maximum number of bits that can be transmitted in one second.
|
|
bits per second in relation to a communication setting is....
|
The speed of transmission
|
|
What is a Blind carbon copy (Bcc)
|
A copy of an email that is sent to other people but they cant see who else got it (optional)
|
|
Bus topology
|
all the devices are attached to a direct line called the bus.nodes listen if the network is clear. If so, a node will transmit. If collision occurs, CSMA/CD Carrier Sense Multiple Access and Collision Detection allows node to re-transmit at later time.
|
|
Carbon copy (Cc) (email header components)
|
send message to other people apart from the recipient (optional)
|
|
Checksum
|
An error checking method that counts the bits in a data packet. Data is divided into packets the bits in each packet are counted and sent to the receiver if the number match it is assumed their is no errors
|
|
Communication settings
|
parameter settings that may be altered to allow computer or peripherals to communicate
|
|
Communication system
|
An information system that enables people to send and retrieve data
|
|
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
|
binary numbers are divided by a number. The remainder of the division is retained & sent. Receiving computer re-does the calculation. If both agree, it is OK to send. Detects 99.99% of all errors.
|
|
Domain name (email address)
|
The specific computer or server where the person's emails are stored
|
|
EFTPOS (electronic founds transfer at point-of-sales)
|
is a system that allows people to purchase good and services. It electronically transfers money from the costumer to the sellers bank
|
|
Electronic Commerce (e-commerce)
|
is buying or selling goods through the internet. It is a type of communication system
|
|
Electronic banking
|
allows people to view the bank accounts and transfer money between accounts online
|
|
Electronic mail (email)
|
is the sending of mail electronically. It was revolutionised by the invention of the internet. Can be sent around the world in minutes and to anyone who has an email address.
|
|
Email Address
|
The address of the person who is receiving or sending emails. They are unique and comprise of two parts. The name/username of the person and domain name (location on the Internet). They are separated by the @ symbol.
|
|
Email message (structure)
|
an email has two main parts. The header and the body. The header is like an envelope and the sender address is automatically added
|
|
Error Checking
|
When data arrives at its destination it may contain errors. These error must be detected and corrected
|
|
error correction
|
the most common form of error correction is to retransmit the data.
|
|
Half-Duplex Data Flow
|
the data flows both ways but only one way at a time e.g. walkie-talkies
|
|
Full-Duplex Data Flow
|
The data flows both ways, both at the same time e.g. telephone
|
|
Handshaking
|
An agreement on which protocol to use to accomplish the exchange of information.
|
|
intelligent terminal/workstations
|
a terminal that has both memory and processing capabilities most are called workstations on a network
|
|
Issues with Electronic Banking
|
loss of jobs, security of data, changing nature of work
|
|
List issues with email
|
spam and anti-spam legislation changing nature of workspreed of virusesuse of email in court cases
|
|
Local Area Network (LANs)
|
a network the connects computer with a small geographical areae.g. a building
|
|
Mailing List (email)
|
mailing list is a group of people who may want to receive the same message. e.g. a class at school
|
|
Messaging system
|
used to send messages to people in different locations who may receive the message at later time.
|
|
Name the 2 ways of data transmission
|
parallel transmission & serial transmission
|
|
Network
|
a number of computers and their peripheral device connected together in some way
|
|
Network Topology
|
the physical arrangement of devices in a network
|
|
Node
|
each device in a network
|
|
Parallel transmission
|
transferring data at the same time using separate channel. it is faster but get out of sync easily
|
|
Parity Checking
|
Is a method of error checking using an extra bit called a parity bit. It can be odd = odd number of 1's sent, or It can be even = even number of 1's sent.
|
|
Protocol
|
A set of rules that governs the transfer of data between computers
|
|
Reply (email)
|
automatically enters return email address and in the subject types Re: whatever subject the original sender named it
|
|
Ring Topology
|
All devices are attached so that the path is the shape of a continuous circle. Each device has a unique address. Data flows in one direction, moving from device to device until it arrives at destination. This avoids data collisions. A node transmits when it receives a token, hence, token ring network
|
|
Serial transmission
|
is transferring data one after another it is slower but less errors. Serial transmission can be asynchronous or synchronous
|
|
Signature (email)
|
several lines that can be automatically inserted at the bottom of an email.
|
|
Simplex Data Flow
|
the data flow is one direction (receives signal only)e.g Television, Radio
|
|
Speed of transmission
|
The speed of data transmission is determined by the transmitting device and the bandwidth.
|
|
Star topology
|
has a central computer with each device connected directly to it. The central computer acts like a switch and if it goes down, the whole network goes down.
|
|
Stop/Start bits (communication setting)
|
The number of stop start bit used in asynchronous transmission.The parameter is used to identify each bit
|
|
Subject
|
topic of the email or brief description (optional)
|
|
Synchronous
|
all data is sent at the same time and the same number of bytes is sent each second. It is faster and more efficient
|
|
Teleconferencing
|
the use electronic transmission to allow a meeting to occur at the same time at different place
|
|
Terminal
|
a device that send and receives data from anther computer system
|
|
To (email header components)
|
the address of the person receiving the mail
|
|
Traditional ways of messaging systems
|
Mail
Telephone Answering machines Fax- sends graphic over telephone line computer may have modern faxes All of these are still used today |

|
Allow people at different locations to see video and audio images of each other.
|
|
Wide Area Network (WANs)
