9 Computers Going Online Connecting to the Internet Broadband cable Modem: (1 to 10 Mbps) Digital Subscriber Line (DSL): upstream: 128Kbps to 1.5 Mbps downstream: 1.5 to 9 Mbps satellite upstream: 56 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps downstream: 400 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps wireless access points wireless LAN PC card Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) standards (IEEE 802.11 communications standard) © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.Slide 9

10 IEEE 802.11 Standards IEEE 802.11b (Wireless-B): 11 Mbps, 300’ from access point IEEE 802.11a (Wireless-A): 54 Mbps, 50’ from access point IEEE 802.11g (Wireless-G): 54 Mbps, covers longer distance

11 Computers Going Online Connecting to the Internet Internet service provider (ISP): Colleges, Schools, Corporations, Communication companies ex. SBC Information service gateway: ex. AOL, MSN, CompuServe communications software (Interface with their information system) user ID and password Direct LAN connection T-1 line (1.544 Mbps) T-3 line (44.736 Mbps) © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.Slide 10

12 Computers Going Online Connecting to the Internet Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Protocol: set of rules for how computers communicate Packet: the part of a message that contains the data and the address the message is being sent to © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.Slide 11

13 Computers Going Online Connecting to the Internet Point-of-presence (POP): an access point to the Internet: ISPs have many POPs for their clients (each with unique IP address) IP address Dynamic IP address © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.Slide 12
