IEEE 802.11x

 

What is IEEE 802.11x?

802.11x is generic term to refer to the IEEE 802.11 standard for defining communication over a wireless LAN (WLAN). 802.11, commonly known as Wi-Fi, specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients. These standards are used to implement WLAN communication in 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands. The term is not officially used or defined. Rather, it refers to the common flavors of Wi-Fi, most notably 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n.

Some of the known IEEE standards association standard and amendments are

802.11-1997: The original standard released in 1997 provided 1-2 Mbps transmission speed in the 2.4 GHz band using Frequency Hoping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) or Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). It is currently obsolete.

802.11a: Provides a transmission speed of up to 54 Mbps in the 5 GHz band using Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM).

802.11b: Works in the 2.4 GHz band and can provide up to 11 Mbps speed with a fallback rate to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps. 802.11b only uses DSSS.

802.11g: Provides a maximum speed of 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11g uses OFDM and DSSS and is backwards compatible with 802.11b.

802.11n: Provides up to 150 Mbps throughput using spatial multiplexing. It uses the both 2.4 and 5 GHz band.

Interconnecting Devices

Interconnecting Devices An Interconnecting devices is a network device. It used to transfer data from one computer to other computer with the help of network devices. There are five categories of interconnecting devices are such as. Router  Hubs  Switches/Bridge  Repeater  BRouter Repeater: Now I am going to tell you the repeater is an electronic device that used to receive and send a signal. It amplifies the signal and noise. It provides transmission of the signal.  HUB (Hyper User Bus):  In this, it used to link several computers in the same network. It based on broadcasting, and it sends the data to all computers and repeats the signal which receives a signal from one port and copies to other port and traffic are high. Bridge / Switch:  In this, we can see the interconnecting devices which can divide a single network into two or more segment are called Bridge / Switch.  It has multiple ports like 2, 4, 16, and 32. The Switch main...

Printer

What is Printer? Another widely used output device is a printer and it is a computer peripheral device. A printer produces a hard copy of a processed text or a result. A hard copy refers to a permanent human-readable text or graphics taken on physical print media such as paper or transparency. A printer will use toner to provide a quality print on paper, a toner is a replaceable material. Once the toner gets empty we can refill it and reuse it.  Most of the printers are used for commercial purposes such as private offices, industries, government offices, photo studios, etc,. Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...

CMOS

What is CMOS? CMOS stands for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor and it stores roughly 64Kb of data. It is the part of the southbridge in most computers. The specification stored in Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor must match hardware and it allows you to access the BIOS. When hardware is change or update, Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor must be updated. CMOS Battery Accessing BIOS through CMOS setup Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor can only be accessed when the PC is booting and key combination at start-up. The changes are stores on an NVRAM Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor chip. The mouse doesn’t work in Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor setup. AMI and AWARD BIOS – DEL key  PHOENIX BIOS – CTRL, ALT and ESC keys or F2        CMOS Chip Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor is stored in an SRAM chip called Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM). It stores data that is uses by the BIOS and NVRAM is powered by Com...
