To connect to the internet you will need 3 basic components:
Physical Connection
Logical Connection
Application
Connecting to the Internet

Physical Connection
This is the part of the connection that consists of items you can physically touch such as the Network Interface Card (NIC), a modem or the Network Media
![Page 5: Module 1. Upon completing Module 1 students should be able to: Understand the physical connections needed for a computer to connect to the Internet Recognize](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083009/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7c89/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Network Interface Card
When Purchasing an NIC for a PC you must consider:
The protocols in use
The System bus used by the PC
The type of media used on the network
![Page 6: Module 1. Upon completing Module 1 students should be able to: Understand the physical connections needed for a computer to connect to the Internet Recognize](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083009/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7c89/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Network Interface Cards
Situations that require NIC installation include the following:
Installation of a NIC on a PC that does not already have one
Replacement of a malfunctioning or damaged NIC
Upgrade from a 10-Mbps NIC to a 10/100/1000-Mbps NIC
Change to a different type of NIC, such as wireless
Installation of a secondary, or backup, NIC for network
security reasons

High Speed and Dial Up
High Speed connections such asDigital Subscriber Line (DSL) andCable modem are known as “always on” services.Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)is a Dial Up service offered by telephonecompanies and generally operates at56kbps

Logical Connection
This part of the connection uses a set of rules (protocols) called the Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite.
This set of rules is the primary set of protocols used on the internet.
The TCP/IP suite enables you to transmit and receive data.

TCP/IP Protocols
The TCP/IP protocols were developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) in the 1970’s to support worldwide internetworks.
The TCP/IP protocols allow cooperating computers to share resources across a network

Application
Once physically and logically connected to the internet an Application is needed to interpret and display the information.

Web Browsers
Two popular Web Browsers are:
Netscape Navigator
Internet Explorer

Plug-ins
A plug-in is a piece hardware or software that adds a specific feature to a system such as Internet Explorer.
Examples of plug-ins are Flash which is used to display animation or Quicktime which is used to display movies.

Binary Mathematics
It is very important to understand the concept of Binary Mathematics as this is the language which computers communicate in.
Computers can only understand two states, on which is represented by 1 and off which is represented by 0.

Bits and Bytes
A bit is one unit of binary data either a one or a 0.
A byte is 8 bits of binary data and is a single addressable storage unit.

Numbering Systems
The 3 main numbering systems used in networking are:
Binary: Base 2 0-1
Decimal Base 10 0-9
Hexadecimal Base 16 0-9 + A-F

Boolean Logic
The Boolean And rule states that 1 + 1 = 1
any other combination = 0
For example:
11001010
01101000
01001000
