Unit 1: Data Communication and Transmission Media


1. Analog vs. Digital Signals: Demonstrate the differences between analog and digital signals using waveform
visualization.

2. Calculating Bit Rate and Bandwidth: Calculate the bit rate and bandwidth using the Nyquist formula and
Shannon capacity.

3. Transmission Media Testing: Crimp a network cable (Cat 5/6) and test its continuity using a cable tester.

4. Transmission Impairments Simulation: Use Packet Tracer to simulate different transmission impairments
(attenuation, distortion) and observe their effects.

5. Comparing Guided and Unguided Media: Compare guided media (coaxial, fiber-optic) and unguided media
(wireless) through practical examples.

Unit 2: Data and Signal Conversion, Multiplexing 6. Digital-to-Analog Conversion: Use Packet Tracer to
demonstrate digital-to-analog conversion using ASK, FSK, and PSK modulation techniques.

7. Analog-to-Digital Conversion: Simulate the process of analog-to-digital conversion using PCM and
quantization techniques in Packet Tracer.

8. Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): Set up a simple FDM scenario using Packet Tracer to multiplex
multiple signals onto a common medium.

9. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM): Create a TDM scenario in Packet Tracer to show how multiple signals are
time-shared over a single channel.

10. Introduction to Modulation and Demodulation: Demonstrate the process of modulation and demodulation
using simple audio signals and software tools.

Unit 3: Networking Components, Models, and Topologies 11. Building a LAN: Using Packet Tracer, set up a basic
local area network (LAN) with computers, switches, and cables to illustrate a star topology.

12. Comparing OSI and TCP/IP Models: Explain the differences between the OSI model and the TCP/IP model
through practical examples of layer functions.

13. Configuring a Router: Use a physical or virtual router to demonstrate basic router configurations, including
IP address assignment.

14. Virtual LAN (VLAN) Setup: Configure VLANs on a network switch using Packet Tracer to create separate
broadcast domains.

15. Introduction to Routing: Set up a small routed network using Packet Tracer to showcase the routing process
between subnets.

Unit 4: Network Addressing, Protocols, and Error Detection 16. Subnetting Practice: Given an IP address range,
guide students through subnetting to create multiple subnets with varying host ranges.

17. Configuring IP Addresses: In Packet Tracer, configure IP addresses for devices in a network, ensuring proper
subnetting.

data between devices.
19. Exploring Network Protocols: Set up a variety of services (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, DNS) in Packet Tracer to
showcase their functions within a network.

20. Error Detection Techniques: Implement error detection techniques like parity check and CRC in Packet
Tracer to show data integrity maintenance.
