Remote connectivity Several options to establish remote connectivity
– Modem via POTS– ISDN– Cable modem– xDSL– Satellite– Wireless
Lots of other options not in the book, because they are not “objectives” of the Network+ exam– Leased Lines (although T1 lines, etc are covered)– VPN– Terminal Services– etc.

POTS (or PSTN) Stands for Plain Old Telephone Service
– PSTN: Public Switched Telephone Network
The standard telephone service you subscribe to for making voice calls
The connection between the phone co. and the customer is the “local loop”
Modems connect over these lines. Max rate is 56,000 bps. (v.90 standard).
Many other limitations. The entire system is analog.

POTS advantages and disadvantages
Advantages– Available everywhere– Reliable connectivity– Low cost– Easy setup
Disadvantages– Only one session per circuit– FCC limited transmission speed at 53 Kbps– Most circuits will only reach 44 Kbps due to
line noise– Analog transmissions only

ISDN (Integrated Services, Digital Network)
A digital telephone service that works over copper telephone wiring
The three pieces of information to make your ISDN work with Windows-based PC– Switch type– Phone numbers– Service Profile Identifier (SPID)
Two ISDN interfaces– U Interface– S/T Interface

ISDN (cont) Two “Rates”, Basic and Primary
– Basic has 3 “channels”: 2 “B” or “bearer” channels, to carry data
The B channels are 64 Kbps each.
1 “D” or “delta” channel, to carry setup info With the basic rate, the D channel is 16 Kbps.
– Primary has 24 channels: 23 B channels, at 64 Kbps each, and 1 D channel, also at 64 Kbps (more bandwidth
here because there is more info with primary) A primary ISDN line has the same bandwidth as
a T1 leased line.

ISDN
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) turns the local loop into a TDM digital connection. – Usually requires a new circuit.
The connection uses 64 kbps bearer channels (B) for carrying voice or data and a signaling, delta channel (D) for call set-up and other purposes.
Never really became popular in the U.S., known as It-Still-Does-Nothing or I-Still-Don’t Know

Cable Modems
Cable modems transfer data across local cable TV lines, toggling between analog and digital signals with data transfer rates comparable to DSL.
Cou

ILT
Cable modems
Coaxial TV cable 1 to 10 Mbps download speeds Up to 2 Mbps upload speeds Cable connects from NIC to a cable
modem, which has an RJ-45 port Many users connect a router to the
cable modem to provide access to several PC’s or other network devices

ILTxDSL
Family of technologies used for high speed, digital access over regular, copper telephone lines
Access speeds range from 1.544 (T1) to 8 Mbps for downstream data transfers and are around 1.5 Mbps for upstream data transfers
Note: The Network+ objectives just list “xDSL”; the only specific standard mentioned is ADSL.

xDSL and VDSL
(I’m sure the RADSL upstream numbers should be “K”bps!) Two new additions to the category of dedicated connection:
– DSL – Cable modems
Very high bit-rate DSL (VDSL) is seen by many as the next step in providing a full home-communications / entertainment package. There are already some companies, such as Qwest that offer VDSL service in selected areas. VDSL provides an incredible amount of bandwidth, with speeds up to about 52 megabits per second (Mbps).
Cou
rse
ILTADSL
Asymmetric DSL: The distinguishing characteristic of ADSL over other forms of DSL is that the volume of data flow is greater in one direction than the other, i.e. it is asymmetric. Providers usually market ADSL as a service for consumers to connect to the Internet in a relatively passive mode: able to use the higher speed direction for the "download" from the Internet but not needing to run servers that would require high speed in the other direction.
Cou

ILTSDSL
Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line (SDSL) is a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) variant with T1/E1-like data rates (72 to 2320 kbit/s). It runs over one pair of copper wires, with a maximum range of about 3 kilometers or 1.86 miles. The main difference between ADSL and SDSL is that SDSL has the same upstream data rate as downstream (symmetrical), whereas ADSL always has smaller upstream bandwidth (asymmetrical). However, unlike ADSL, it can't co-exist with a conventional voice service on the same pair as it takes over the entire bandwidth.
Cou

ILTHDSL
HDSL (High bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line), one of the earliest forms of DSL, is used for wideband digital transmission within a corporate site and between the telephone company and a customer. The main characteristic of HDSL is that it is symmetrical: an equal amount of bandwidth is available in both directions.
HDSL can carry as much on a single wire of twisted-pair cable as can be carried on a T1 line (up to 1.544 Mbps) in North America or an E1 line (up to 2.048 Mbps) in Europe over a somewhat longer range and is considered an alternative to a T1 or E1 connection.

ILTIDSL
IDSL - “ISDN Digital Subscriber Line” transmits data digitally across existing ISDN lines, at a rate of 128 Kbps. The benefits of IDSL over ISDN are that the former service offers always-on connections, transmits data via a data network rather than the phone company’s voice network, and avoids per-call fees by being billed at a flat-rate.
Cou

ILT
RADSL “Rate-adaptive” DSL - With RADSL the
modem adjusts the upstream speed of the connection (in an upstream / downstream speed tradeoff) depending upon the length and quality of the line between the DCE (Telephone Exchange) or DSLAM and the DTE (Modem), in an attempt to maintain a certain downstream speed.
Cou

ILTCDSL
CDSL (Consumer Digital Subscriber Line) is a version of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) service, trademarked by Rockwell Corp., that is somewhat slower than Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) - up to 1 Mbps downstream, probably less upstream - and has the advantage that a splitter does not need to be installed at the user's end. Rockwell no longer provides information about CDSL at its Web site and it does not appear to be marketing it.

What are SLIP and PPP?
Two ways to connect personal computers to the Internet Communications protocols Software Support for TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) Access to graphics and other file formats
Cou

ILT
What are SLIP and PPP?SLIP and PPP are protocols, or sets of rules, that support TCP/IP over serial cables such as telephone lines. (TCP/IP is the set of protocols used on the Internet). Therefore, SLIP and PPP are two ways to connect to the Internet.
SLIP stands for Serial Line Internet Protocol and PPP stands for Point-to-Point Protocol.
SLIP is the earlier technology; PPP is newer and has more capabilities.

What are SLIP and PPP?
SLIP/PPP allows a user with a PC, such as a Macintosh or a PC, and a modem to connect to the Internet, without having to first log on to a remote machine (but you do need an account).

This capability enables the user to make use of Internet applications and tools such as telnet, file transfer (ftp), electronic mail, and graphical web browsers directly on his or her personal computer.
Cou

ILT
What are SLIP and PPP?
A computer with a SLIP or PPP connection is able to simulate a direct connection to the Internet. To accomplish this, the user needs:• a computer and modem• a SLIP/PPP account with his or her Internet Service Provider• both SLIP/PPP software and TCP/IP software installed on the user's computer• an IP address - this may be permanently assigned to the user's computer by the provider or assigned "on the fly" at the time of the connection. The "on the fly" method allows service providers to support a large number of users with a limited pool of IP numbers.
Cou
rse
ILT
What are SLIP and PPP?How does a SLIP/PPP connection work?
1. A user's modem dials up a remote computer at an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
2. The SLIP/PPP software requests a SLIP/PPP connection.
3. Once the connection is made, the service provider assigns the user's computer an IP address (in the case of a service provider who assigns IP addresses "on the fly").
4. The TCP/IP software on the user's computer "takes over" and manages the flow of data between the Internet and the user's computer.

CSU/DSU
A CSU/DSU forms the connection point between a T1 line and the customer’s internal network
The CSU (channel service unit) and the DSU (data service unit) are two separate devices that are normally contained in one box
The T1 line terminates at the CSU The DSU converts the signal so it can
be sent over the T1

X.25 packet switched networks Provide a connection between remote
computers over private virtual circuits Do not require leasing individual lines The X.25 standard describes a packet switched
network where data transmissions are broken down into individual packets and addressing information inside of each packet is used to route packets to their destination
(Oddly, the Network+ exam covers X.25, which is nearly obsolete, but not Frame Relay, which followed it and which is widely implemented. We will cover Frame in the CCNA course.)
