Most LANs are confined to a single building or group of building. LANs can be connected to each other over any distance via telephone lines or radio waves. MAN : Is a network which connects an area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN such as city with dedicated or high performance hardware. WAN : Is a computer network spread over a large geographical area like two different cities/countries. A WAN consists of two or more LANs connected through the telephone system or can also be connected through leased lines or satellites. 3) What are the advantages of network? Ans. The advantages of network are : i) File management : Has a quick, easy and reliable way to share and manage files. ii) iii) iv) Resource sharing : Resources like printer, modem, fax etc. can be shared when computers are connected in a network. Cost saving on software: Instead of buying software for all computers, it is cheaper to install on any one network connected computer for its share or use. Internet sharing: All computers in a network can take advantage of the high bandwidth and access Internet at a fast speed. v) Security : Files and programs on a network can be password protected for authorized users only. 4
4) How does networking improve file management? Ans. Networks offer a quick, easy and reliable way to share files directly instead of using a disk or pen drive to carry files from one computer to another, which is time consuming and not a very reliable process. Files can be shared directly using a network. Q8. Draw the following : a) LAN b) MAN c) WAN d) Wireless LAN (Pg.no.5) (Pg.no.3) Q9.
