Answer to Question 1

1. the signaling methods used for conveying or representing data and translating between them, 2. the circuit configuration that carries the data, 3 . the transmission medium used, which is wired or wireless, upon which the circuits are based, and 4. the devices typically associated with this layer.

Answer to Question 2

The physical layers of the OSI and TCP/IP models serve the same function in a very similar manner. Both identify the physical characteristics of the network. The physical layer interfaces directly with the data link layer. The data link layer passes frames of data bits down to the physical layer. The physical layer then transmits these frames as an unformatted stream of electrical, optical, or electromagnetic signals represented by the binary bits 0 and 1. In effect, the physical layer does not see a frame, only a stream of data bits. The physical layer is responsible for transmitting this unformatted bit stream across a transmission medium, from one device to another, until ultimately the data bits travel from sender to receiver. Data bits are frequently passed through pins in the connectors. It is the physical layer's function to make pin-signal assignments for the cable and connectors.

Did you know?

The highest suicide rate in the United States is among people ages 65 years and older. Almost 15% of people in this age group commit suicide every year.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Most fungi that pathogenically affect humans live in soil. If a person is not healthy, has an open wound, or is immunocompromised, a fungal infection can be very aggressive.

Did you know?

Human neurons are so small that they require a microscope in order to be seen. However, some neurons can be up to 3 feet long, such as those that extend from the spinal cord to the toes.

Did you know?

HIV testing reach is still limited. An estimated 40% of people with HIV (more than 14 million) remain undiagnosed and do not know their infection status.
