 Basic Parts of a Network 

What are the basic parts of a network ?

Computer networks share common devices, functions, and features including servers, clients, transmission media, shared data, shared printers and other hardware and software resources, network interface card(NIC), local operating system(LOS), and the network operating system (NOS).
 * Servers; computers that hold shared files, programs, and the network operating system.
 * Clients; computers that access and use the network and shared network resources
 * Transmission Media; Transmission media are the facilities used to interconnect computers in a network, such as twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable, and optical fiber cable
 * Shared data; are data that file servers provide to clients such as data files, printer access programs and e-mail.
 * Shared printers and other peripherals; expansion card called a network interface card (NIC).
 * Local Operating Systems: A local operating system allows personal computers to access files, print to a local printer, and have and use one or more disk and CD drives that are located on the computer.Pop.png
 * Hub: splits a network connection into multiple computers
 * Switch: telecommunication device grouped as one of computer network components

What are modems to an network? 
 * Modems are devices that enable computers to interpret data they receive from a network, and also allow them to send information in the proper format to be read by other computers on the network.
 * Some modems are built into the computers and some are external devices

What are routers ?

1. theyre also know as hubs.

2.gives signal to the modem to the computer

3. can brodcast wireless signal

How are servers important to an network ?  Those are the basic components of a network and actually the important ones. If we didnt have routers, serves , modems , and the other operating things that are required things we wouldnt have a working internet.
 * Servers are banks of digital drivers for mass storage of data
 * Networks use servers to contain the data users may wish to access, and also to provide storage space for network users
 * Ex:email providers use their servers to store the messages users send to one another while web hosts use servers to contain all of the data that a web page displays to visitors.ImagesCA1KK2X2.jpg
