    This document summarizes a student group project on modems. It defines a modem as a device that modulates and demodulates digital and analog signals to allow a computer to connect to the Internet via telephone or cable lines. It describes the three main types of modems - cable, DSL, and dial-up - and explains the differences between modems, routers, and switches. Finally, it includes a diagram showing how a modem connects to a switch.

    Survey on latest network control device(Modem)

     Network devices are the devices that are necessary to build a network and to


    keep communication flowing. Network devices include hubs, routers,
    switches, repeaters, and wireless access points.
     These devices must be configured, and include firmware which must be updated. There
    are different types of network devices used in a computer network which include the
    following Network Hub. 
     Network Switch. Modem. Network Router. A cable modem uses coaxial cables that
    connect to the back of the modem and the bolt-like outlet in your wall or on your cable
    box.
    What is Modem

     Modem is short for "Modulator-Demodulator." It is a hardware component that


    allows a computer or another device, such as a router or switch, to connect to
    the Internet.
     Modem is a device that enables a computer to send or receive data over
    telephone or cable lines. The data stored on the computer is digital whereas a
    telephone line or cable wire can transmit only analog data.
     It converts or "modulates" an analog signal from a telephone or cable wire to
    digital data (1s and 0s) that a computer can recognize. The main function of
    the modem is to convert digital signal into analog and vice versa.
    There are three types of modems:

     cable
     digital subscriber line (DSL)
     dial-up
    CABLE MODEM
     
    • A cable modem is a hardware device that allows your computer to
    communicate with an Internet service provider over a landline
    connection. ... A cable modem works by connecting a
    coaxial cable and then a Cat 5 (Ethernet) cord from the modem to a
    computer or network router.
     
    DSL MODEM
     
    • A DSL modem is a kind of modem that lets users connect to the
    Internet using a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connection. ... Like
    dial-up modems, DSL modems connect to the Internet through your
    home's telephone line.

    DIAL-UP MODEM
     
    • Dial-up Internet access is a form of Internet access that uses the
    facilities of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to
    establish a connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) by
    dialing a telephone number on a conventional telephone line.
    Difference between modem and other networking
    devices(router, switch)

     Device What it does

     Modem: Stands for "modulating-demodulating":

    modems are hardware devices that allow a computer or another device, such as a


    router or switch, to connect to the Internet. They convert or "modulate" an
    analog signal from a telephone or cable wire to digital data (1s and 0s) that a
    computer can recognize.
    Simply send traffic from point A to point B without further manipulation.

     Routers: Are responsible for sending data from one network to another.

    Work at Layer 3 (Network) of the OSI model, which deals with IP addresses.

    Typically, routers today will perform the functionality of both a router and a
    switch - that is, the router will have multiple ethernet ports that devices can plug
    into.

     Switches They use the MAC address of a device to send data only to the port the
    : destination device is plugged into.

    Work at Layer 2 (Data Link) of the OSI model, which deals with MAC addresses.
