Data Comm.
 Data communications
 Data communications are the exchange of data
between two devices via some form of transmission
medium such as a wire cable.
 Data communications system depends on four
fundamental characteristics: delivery, accuracy,
timeliness, and jitter.
 Delivery: The system must deliver data to the correct
destination.
 Accuracy: The system must deliver the data accurately.
 Timelines: The system must deliver data in a timely manner.
Data delivered late are useless.
 Jitter: Jitter refers to the variation in the packet arrival time.

Components
 A data communications system has five
components
 Message:
 The message is the information (data) to be communicated.
Popular forms of information include text, numbers,
pictures, audio, and video.
 Sender:
 The sender is the device that sends the data message. It
can be a computer, workstation, telephone handset, video
camera, and so on.
 Receiver:
 The receiver is the device that receives the message. It can
be a computer, workstation, telephone handset, television,
and so on.

Components
 Transmission medium:
 The transmission medium is the physical path by which a
message travels from sender to receiver.
 Some examples of transmission media include twisted-pair wire,
coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable, and radio waves.
 Protocol:
 A protocol is a set of rules that govern data communications.
 It represents an agreement between the communicating
devices.
 Without a protocol, two devices may be connected but not
communicating.

Transmission Modes
 Modes defines the flow of data.
 There are three modes of communication
 Simplex
 In simplex mode, the communication is unidirectional.
 Data travel in only one direction.
 Duplex (communication is bi directional)
 Half duplex
 (In half-duplex mode, each station can both transmit and receive, but
not at the same time.)
 Full duplex
 (both stations can transmit and receive simultaneously)
