used to make and manage documents.
Version control version control is a massive thing for big companies as they
could have a file that would be used in a production line or
something like that and one thing be wrong so they amend it
and do not mark it as the updated version it could cause a
problem in the production however if the file is named
correctly for example (3D stand V2) then the production line
will work fine.
Levels of access Giving access to someone so they can either only read or
read and edit on the document if you don't give access at all

into an IM server it then asks for authentication to verify if you
are who you say you are and asks the person who is
receiving the information if they are who they say they are the
same way you verified yourself once both of you have been
authenticated it will link both devices allowing fast transfer of
data

Advantages of email
Disadvantages of email
Email protocols
Transmission modes Fibre Optic - glass- instead of sending electric signal it sends
light - in binary- at speed of light in pulses- at the other end is
a receiver. The fibre optic is as thin as a hair. The cables
under the floor need to be careful as they are not coated in
metal, break easily.
Wireless - no wires.
Infra red - energy in the region of the electromagnetic
radiation spectrum. Can be seen, Out of the visible spectrum.
Is shorter than those of radio waves.
Infrared frequencies higher than those of microwaves.
Eg: car locking remotes, TV remote handset
CODEC
Meshing of 2 words - coder and decoder - encoded and
compressed for storage streams of data.
For videos you
Compress- send- decompress at other end.
See diagram on google slides
Changes it from one format into another format so that it
can be used!
Methods of transmission
/cabling/wireless etc SEE ABOVE NOTES
Packet switching
Is a method of breaking data files in small packets or chunks
in order to send them across a network.
Works by broken up into small files and given an IP address
as to where to go, and to know who has sent it. They also
know how many packets have been sent. Puts back together
and ends the file.
Microwave
A microwave link - in a communication system uses a beam
of radio waves in the microwave frequency in two fixed
locations.
Advantage : no cables required (between 2 buildings)
Multiple channels
Wide bandwidth
Online databases
DBMS
SQL
Preventative technologies
Disaster recovery
Business continuity
Online monitoring of
