Across
  1. 1. A bit sent at the end of an asynchronous data transmission to indicate the end of the data. Always different from the start bit
  2. 4. Type of data transmission where data can be sent both ways along the communications channel but only one way at a time
  3. 9. Data Transmission where single bits are sent one after another along a single wire.
  4. 10. Transmission system in which the sender and receiver have separate clocks which are not kept synchronised. Instead, the clocks are synchronised temporarily at the start of a transmission.
  5. 11. Data Transmission where multiple bits are sent down several wires simultaneously.
  6. 12. For a transmission medium, the range of signal frequencies it may transmit.
  7. 13. Type of data transmission where data can be sent both ways along the communications channel at the same time
Down
  1. 2. The rate at which signals on a wire may change.
  2. 3. The sending and receiving devices exchange signals to establish that they are each ready to initiate data transfer.
  3. 5. In an 8 bit byte 7 bits are used to send the data and last - the parity bit - is used to ensure there are either an odd or even number of 1's in the byte.
  4. 6. Type of data transmission where data can be sent one way along the communications channel only
  5. 7. The number of bits transmitted per second
  6. 8. A set of agreed signals, codes and rules to be used for data and information exchange between computers.
  7. 9. A bit sent at the beginning of an asynchronous data transmission to indicate the start of the data. Always different from the stop bit
