Understanding Telecommunication Subsystems and Network Functions
Subsystems
Network Subsystem Digital Connection
This subsystem’s role is to establish connections for:
- Payment processing
- Connections between trunks
- Connections between trunked subscribers through the switching stage
Central Processor Subsystem
This subsystem controls network connections and contains the necessary programs and data to initiate and terminate connections. It also records data and transmits it to the Input/Output subsystem.
This subsystem is often duplicated for redundancy in many systems.

Different Modes to View a Presentation
A presentation can be viewed in six different modes:
- Normal View: The default view, showing a blank slide on the workspace. It allows for presentation design and is helpful for large presentations.
- Outline View: Displays slides in miniature format without backgrounds, colors, or graphics. Useful for quickly browsing or reviewing the presentation’s text layout.
- Notes View: Shows slides in reduced form with a text box at the bottom for adding notes.
- Handout View:
Understanding Computer Networks: Types, Elements, and Security
Types of Networks
Networks can be classified based on the number of connected computers and their geographical reach:
Local Area Network (LAN)
LANs connect computers within a limited area, such as a room or building.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
WANs connect computers across a larger geographical area, spanning regions, countries, or even multiple countries.
Network Architectures
Networks can be categorized based on their architecture and the roles of computers:
Client-Server Network
In this architecture, a central

Computer Components
Computing is the automatic processing of information. The information must be in digital format. Numbers are represented in base 2. Images must be encoded as ordered pixels. Sound waves should also be coded for processing. A computer is an electronic device capable of receiving and processing digital data, and returning the result.
The early evolution of computing machines worked with fixed programs. A calculator had a fixed program. You could do basic math, but not use it as a
