IT133 – Week 3 Assignment

IT133 – Week 3 Assignment 4B/5B is a block encoding system that breaks up long strings of zeroes and ones but does not increase the frequency bandwidth by breaking them up in four-bit sequence. Table 1 shows each block of four bits replaced by a block of five bits. Due to this, there cannot be more than one leading zero and two trailing zeros. This means that the resulting bit stream has no more than three consecutive zeros (Figure 1). This bit stream is transmitted using non-return to zero inverted (NRZI) method and is used in 100BaseTX (Fast Ethernet) networks ...

Introduction

During the period 1877-1920, the United States underwent a period known as Reconstruction. Well, life for African Americans was not at all easy during this period. In as much as the recently freed African Americans did enjoy political and social equality, the South was regained by the self-proclaimed Democratic redeemers. As a result, Jim Crow racial segregation was instituted which led masses to move, known as the Great Migration. Much did change with regard to the life of African Americans, which begs for the question as to why they faced these challenges during this period of time.

DESIGN PROPOSAL

1.0 PHYSICAL NETWORK DESIGN This design implementation must be on LAN systems because it is located in within the same building that has no structured facilities that aid data transfer from one network to another. Use of proper network topology helps in structuring the network with advantages such as cost reduction and less power consumption. The network nodes and connection lines are supposed to be designed in such a way that it reduces complexity and utilizes the available space properly. Currently, there are both physical and logical network topologies [3]. The physical aspect is defined as the actual geometric ...

I/O modules are normally the third most vital constituent of computer systems after the memory and the CPU. The requirements for computer systems are to have an efficient means for receiving inputs and delivering outputs. Computer systems have a variety of peripherals that deliver data at different speeds, in a wider variety of sizes and at different formats. External devices are generally not connected to the expansion or the systems bus structure of computer systems (Tarnoff 350). The problem arises in that I/O modules are slower than the RAM and the CPU, but a handful are actually faster. The ...
