Course : BCA- Vth -Sem

Subject : Computer Network


Code : 503
Unit : 03
Objective:
To be acquainted with:
• PPP ( Point –to – Point )
• LCP ( Link Control Protocol )
• AP ( Authentication Protocols)
• ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network )
What Is ISDN?
ISDN Benefits
 Carries a variety of user traffic, such as digital
video, data, and telephone network services,
using the normal phone circuit-switched
network
 Offers much faster call setup than modems
by using out-of-band signaling (D channel)
 Often less than one second
 Provides a faster data transfer rate than
modems by using the 64-kbps bearer
channel (B channel)
 Can combine multiple B channels to bandwidth
of 128 kbps
 Can negotiate PPP links
ISDN Devices
 Terminal Adapter (TA) - Converter device that converts
standard electrical signals into the form used by ISDN -
allows non-ISDN devices to operate on an ISDN network.
 Terminal Equipment Type 1 (TE1) - Compatible with the
ISDN network. Example:Telephones, personal computers,
fax machine or videoconferencing machine.
 Terminal Equipment Type 2 (TE2) - Not compatible with the
ISDN network. Example: Analog phone or modem, requires
a TA (TE2 connects to TA).
 Network termination type 1 & 2 (NT1 and NT2) - A small
connection box that physically connects the customer site to
the telco local loop, provides a four-wire connection to the
customer site and a two-wire connection to the network
(PRI – CSU/DSU).
