Blog Entry 4.2 - A Basic Network

Got to gliffy.com and draw a basic network.  Upload your diagram to your blog entry.
Write a 5-10 sentence paragraph explaining your diagram using the following terms : server, client, transmission medium, protocols, digitizing, wireless media, cable media and bandwidth.
      The more advanced microprocessor on the left which stores more memory than the others is called the server.  The workstations or PC's on the right are called clients.  They are the ones that request services.  To send data between the server and clients you need what is called transmission data.  Transmission data is the physical pathway for sending data.  There are two ways you can do this through either wired or wireless connections.  Protocols are the rules used to dictate the communication between them.  The amount of capacity allowed between the server and client is bandwidth.
