Assignment #1 due next class
 Quiz #1 on Feb 3, two weeks from today

Change to syllabus
 New Syllabus posted in WebCT
 Chap 1-28

Connecting to the Internet

Lots of ways to connect with more being
invented


General rule ->> faster is better
In order of speed
Direct LAN connection
 Cable modem or DSL
 Telephone modem


Newest way is wireless

WiFi or Cellular
Where do you get Internet Service

ISP
St. John Valley Communications
 Pivot. net
 Eathlink
 Bluelight


Online Service
AOL
 MSN

How a modem works

Modems allow digital signals to go over
an analog circuit

Analog Data


Smooth changes among an infinite number of
states—like hands going around an analog clock
Digital Data
Few states
 In a digital clock, each position can be in one of
ten states (the digits 0 through 9)


Modems

Two types
Internal
 External


Computers control modems using the
Hayes Command Set

In the early days of the Internet (early
1990’s) users had to program modem using
Hayes command to connect to an ISP
Modem Speeds

V.34



Send and receive at up to 33.6 kbps
Fall back in speed if line conditions are not optimal
V.90




Receive at up to 56 kbps
Send at up to 33.6 kbps
Asymmetric speed is good for WWW service.
Other party must have a digital connection to the
PSTN
Modem Speeds

V.92

Receive at up to 56 kbps

Send at up to 33.6 kbps or higher if the line permits

Other party must have a digital connection to the
PSTN

Modem on hold: can receive an incoming call for a
short time without losing the connection

Cuts call setup time in half

How Internet TV works

TV was the first “Information Super highway”



Able to move of lot of info to the user
Problem was User could not interact with the info
The internet allows Interactive use

Greater bandwidth means TV like performance
http://wwitv.com/

Existing TV cable system also can bring you
High Speed Internet service
 TV and Internet are combined in some
services like MSN TV

MSN bought out Web TV


MSN TV receiver (keyboard mouse)
Phone access
TV
Receiver acts like a PC and TV receiver all at
once
 Uses a proprietary web browser and lots of
proxy web servers
Internet Enhanced TV

TV networks send both TV signal and
digital information to your homes


http://etv.go.com/etvHome/about.shtml
A special receiver formats digital signals
and overlays that information on the TV
image

Digital information is interactive WWW
HTML
Digital Subscriber Lines

Uses existing Phone lines to get very
high speed Internet Access
Up to 55 Mbps (1000 times faster than a
V.90 modem)
 Normal speeds for ADSL is 384 kbps down/
96 kbps up
 on 24/7 and doesn’t interfere with regular
phone usage
 The faster the DSL speed the closer you
must be to the phone company

Old Online services

Available prior to public internet service (ISPs
~ 1995)





BBS (bulletin board service)
AOL, Prodigy, CompuServe
Some local BBS’s
Gave you email & chat only with other users of the
same online service
Allowed file transfers up and down



Applications, pictures, music
Required subscription fees and phone access
Never really popular in rural areas
Modern Online Services

Internet Plus



Gives access to all (or most) of the Internet through
gateways
Several Propriety applications
Lost of data “firewalled” away from the Internet




“Walled gardens”
Most common is AOL and MSN
Both use TCP/IP
Great for Internet Novices

Much greater control over Spam, viruses

(but shorter in reality)
Shorter of 802.11a
10 meters
(may increase)
Number

Limited in practice only
by bandwidth and traffic
Only 10 piconets,
each with
8 devices maximum

Many Homes have more than one
computer or Internet Device
Don’t want to provide Internet to each
device independently
 Connect all device to a network and provide
Internet access to the Home networks


Sometimes called SOHO networks

SOHO >> small office/home office
Needed to build home Networks
