IEEE 802.11b

What is IEEE 802.11b?

IEEE 802.11b-1999 or 802.11b, is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 wireless networking that extends throughput up to 11 Mbit/s using the same 2.4 GHz band. A related amendment was incorporated into the IEEE 802.11-2007 standard. 802.11 is a set of IEEE standards that govern wireless networking transmission methods. They are commonly use today in their 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax versions to provide wireless connectivity in the home, office and some commercial establishments. Wi-Fi is an unofficial retronym for 802.11b.

802.11b is use in a point-to-multipoint configuration, wherein an access point communicates via an omnidirectional antenna with mobile clients within the range of the access point. Typical range depends on the radio frequency environment, output power and sensitivity of the receiver. Allowable bandwidth is share across clients in discrete channels. A directional antenna focuses transmit and receive power into a smaller field which reduces interference and increases point-to-point range. Designers of such installations who wish to remain within the law must however be careful about legal limitations on effective radiated power.

Some 802.11b cards operate at 11 Mbit/s, but scale back to 5.5, then to 2, then to 1 Mbit/s (also known as Adaptive Rate Selection) in order to decrease the rate of re-broadcasts that result from errors.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

  What is Virtual Private Network (VPN)? A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure connection between two private networks over a public network (in other words, over the Internet). All the data that flows over the VPN is encrypted. So anyone who steals packets from the VPN will find them unintelligible; only the parties on either end of the VPN are able to decrypt the packets. VPN connections are often called tunnels. Because they provide an isolated pathway from one point to another through the Internet. The only way to gain meaningful access to a VPN tunnel is at either end. Example for VPN Connections VPNs are used for There are two common uses for VPNs: To provide remote workers with secure access to your company network: To do that, you set up a VPN on the router, and then provide your remote workers with the credentials necessary to access the VPN. The remote workers can run a software VPN client on their home computers or laptops to connect to

VERSION CONTROL TOOL (SVN)

VERSION CONTROL TOOL In Project development several team members will be available Each developers will be developing some components in project All the developers may not be available in same office/location Q-1) How to integrate all the developers code ? Q-2) How to track changes happening to source code ? For the above two problems, Version Control Tool is the solution Version Control Tool provides Storage Capacity to store our project source code Version Control Tool provides Monitored Access (Who/When/Why/What) There are several version control tools are available in the market ·         SVN (Subversion) ·         GIT HUB ·         Bit Bucket etc…   SVN SVN stands for Subversion SVN is an Opensource software SVN is a version control software SVN follows Centralized Architecture SVN Architecture ·         SVN Server ·         SVN Client SVN Server will be installed in one remote computer SVN Server setup will be taken care by Adminis

Motherboard

What is Motherboard? Motherboard If the processor is the brain of the computer, the motherboard is the heart of the computer. The motherboard is the main circuit board inside the computer and however, all the components and peripherals are attached to it. Therefore the most of the compute features like scalability and upgradeability depend on the motherboard. Computer Motherboard Components Components of Motherboard Key Assessable Parameters of Motherboard Form factor Chipset CPU Memory Audio Ports and Slots Headers and Connectors BIOS Form factor The root mean square value ratio to the average value ratio of the alternating current is called Form Factor and it is the ratio of the root mean square value to the average value is also known as the absolute value of the waveform. Measurements of Form Factor, Form Factor Formula Where RMS is Root Mean Square Value, AV is Average Value Ir.m.s is the root main square value of current, therefore Iav are
