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 maintains MAC-TABLE (MEDIA ACCESS CONTROL) and The Bridge maintain CAM-TABLE (CONTENT ADDRESSABLE MEMORY).

Router: 

The router is highly intelligent Interconnecting devices which connect two dissimilar networks. It defines the shortest and best path. It maintains a table is called RIT it uses a protocol like RIP, IGRP and EIGRP.

RIT - ROUTING INFORMATION TABLE 

RIP - ROUTING INFORMATION PROTOCOL 

IGRP – INTERIOR GATEWAY ROUTING PROTOCOL 

EIGRP - ENHANCED INTERIOR GATEWAY ROUTING PROTOCOL 


BRouter:

It is the combination of Bridge and Router, it will connect LAN & WAN. It provides a single network into two or more segment and shortest and best path.

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...

Dot Matrix Printer

What is Dot Matrix Printer? A dot matrix printer or impact matrix printer refers to a type of computer printers with a print head that contains a cluster of pins. The pins run back and front on the page and print by impact with striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against a paper similar to a typewriter. The Dot-matrix printers can print at a speed of 500 cps. Therefore a low-resolution dot matrix printers use 9 pins and a high-resolution dot matrix printer uses 24 pins. Then the low-resolution dot matrix is use to apply ink on the surface for layout.  In this a printer is able to print different patterns but not only the specific characters. Then a Dot-matrix printers are work as a non-impact method such as laser printers or inkjet printers where they also use the same process for printing. In this each dots produce by a wire or pin which is a tiny metal rod. The tiny electromagnet give the power to move forward directly small levers and a ribbon mask holder which facing the papers...

Dye Sublimation Printer

What is Dye Sublimation Printer? A dye-sublimation printers is refers to a type of printers. Thus the printer uses a printing process that utilizes a heat to transfer dye to a medium such as a printers paper, a plastic card or a poster paper. The printers are target primarily for printing a high-quality colour applications such as a colour photography and are less well-suite for a text. Therefore, they are commonly use as a dedicated consumer photo printers. The name sublimation was first applied due to a dye transition between the solid and a gas states without going to a liquid state and a dye-sublimation heat transfer imprinting a printers is use to imprint on a textiles by creating a transfer design in a imprinting printer.  Then the all-over print process is done at a lower temperature with a higher pressures. In this there are separate panels which use for each colour therefore a dye is stored in the polyester ribbon. The size of the colour panel is a medium which is use for ...
