Across
  1. 3. refers to one-way communications where one party is the transmitter and the other is the receiver.
  2. 4. repeater is a network device that is used to regenerate or replicate signals that are weakened or distorted by transmission over long distances and through areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  3. 7. refers to the original frequency range of a transmission signal before it is converted, or modulated, to a different frequency range.
  4. 9. topology/Star networks are one of the most common computer network topologies.
  5. 11. server/Web servers are computers that deliver (serves up) Web pages. Every Web server has an IP address and possibly a domain name.
  6. 16. rate/is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second or pulses per second.
  7. 17. server/a device which controls access to separately stored files, as part of a multi-user system.
  8. 19. duplex/Refers to the transmission of data in two directions simultaneously. For example, a telephone is a full-duplex device because both parties can talk at once.
  9. 20. of sending or receiving information, such as telephone lines or computers.
  10. 23. topology/Bus topology is a specific kind of network topology in which all of the various devices in the network are connected to a single cable or line
  11. 24. was a proprietary suite of networking protocols developed by Apple Inc. for their Macintosh computers.
  12. 25. pair cable/Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring in which two conductors of a single circuit are twisted together for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources
  13. 27. elevated, enclosed platform on a ship from which the captain and officers direct operations.
  14. 29. high-capacity transmission technique using a wide range of frequencies, which enables a large number of messages to be communicated simultaneously.
  15. 30. operating/A specialized operating system for a network device such as a router, switch or firewall.
  16. 32. computer or device on a network that manages network resources. There are many different types of servers
  17. 34. a computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer network, by using packet switching to receive, process and forward data to the destination device.
  18. 35. server/is a device that connects printers to client computers over a network
  19. 38. node is a basic unit used in computer science. Nodes are devices or data points on a larger network
  20. 39. network/A network of computers configured to allow certain files and folders to be shared with everyone or with selected users.
  21. 41. set of guidelines for implementing networking communications between computers
  22. 42. cable/is a type of cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield.
  23. 43. topology is the arrangement of the various elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer network.
  24. 45. backup/a backup, or the process of backing up, refers to the copying and archiving of computer data so it may be used to restore the original after a data loss event.
Down
  1. 1. area network/a computer network that links devices within a building or group of adjacent buildings, especially one with a radius of less than 1 km.
  2. 2. (a network or system) from unauthorized access with a firewall.
  3. 5. is the process of taking encoded or encrypted text or other data and converting it back into text that you or the computer can read and understand.
  4. 6. transmission/Data transmission is the process of sending digital or analog data over a communication medium to one or more computing, network, communication or electronic devices.
  5. 8. per second (bps)
  6. 10. desktop computer terminal, typically networked and more powerful than a personal computer.
  7. 12. range of frequencies within a given band, in particular that used for transmitting a signal.
  8. 13. a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks.
  9. 14. network/A computer network in which one centralized, powerful computer (called the server) is a hub to which many less powerful personal computers or workstations (called clients) are connected.
  10. 15. a device) able to be attached to and used with a computer, though not an integral part of it.
  11. 18. central airport or other transport facility from which many services operate.
  12. 21. server/a mail transport agent, a mail router or an Internet mailer) is an application that receives incoming e-mail from local users.
  13. 22. with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts.
  14. 26. area network (WAN)/a computer network in which the computers connected may be far apart, generally having a radius of more than 1 km.
