Subject: Data Communications, (Code: CS 404)
Faculty: Mr. Bhaskar Mondal

Course description
Design and Evaluation of computer networks using current trends in hardware and software. Data communication basic
concepts , layered network models is studied. Digital and analogue signals, encoding and modulating, transmission media,
error detection and correction, data link control, local area networks.

Scope
Identify the different components and their respective roles in a communication system
Propose efficient, cost effective, reliable and appropriate technology to establish communication links
Design an enterprise network employing the common LAN technologies and be able to evaluate the advantages and
disadvantages
Configure a PC to work as a host in a TCP/IP network and to use the IP based commands to facilitate the trouble
shooting process
Describe the technical issues related to the Wide Area Networks and identify the common technologies available in
establishing WAN infrastructure

Objective
Introduce fundamentals of data and computer communications, Provide the student with a conceptual foundation for the
study of data communications using the open system interconnection (OSI) layered architecture model. Review Current
events in the field of communications so that the student has a sound working knowledge in todays competitive environment.
