devices.

The signals
(i.e., data or
information) are
transmitted in the
form of
electromagnetic energy
from one device to
another. These
signals travel through a
vacuum, air, or other
transmission mediums
to
move from one point to
another (from sender
to receiver).
 The transmission
medium is of two
types:
 (i) Wired or Guided:
For example, Twisted
Pair Cable, Coaxial
Cable, and Optical
Fiber Cable.
 (i) Wireless or
Unguided: For
example, Radiowaves,
Microwaves, and
Infrared.

software. The total duration for this lab work is 8 hours, covering fundamental operations and
advanced features.

Word Processing Concepts

1. File Management

Opening a New File: Launch the application and select "New" to create a blank

document.
 Saving a File: Use "Save As" to name and save the document in the desired location. Use
"Save" for subsequent updates.

"Layout" menu.
 Headers and Footers: Add titles, dates, or page numbers to the top or bottom of pages.
 Page Borders and Shading: Enhance the document's appearance with decorative
elements.

Editing and Profiling Tools

1. Spelling and Grammar Check

 Use "Review > Spelling & Grammar" to identify and correct errors.
 Auto-correct common mistakes by enabling predictive text options.

2. Graphics and Media

 Using Graphics: Insert images, shapes, or icons to enrich the document.

 Tables and Charts: Create structured tables for data representation or insert charts for
visual analysis.

3. Document Templates and Wizards

 Templates: Use pre-designed templates for resumes, reports, and other professional
documents.
 Wizards: Leverage built-in guides to create specific documents like mail merges or
labels efficiently.

Practical Tasks

1. File Operations

 Add a footer showing your name and the page number.

4. Spell Check and Graphics

 Check for spelling errors and correct them using the Spelling & Grammar tool.
 Insert a relevant image and align it with the text.

5. Tables and Charts

 Create a table summarizing sales data for a quarter.

 Insert a bar chart to visualize the same data.

Network software is a
foundational element
 for any network. This
type
of software helps
administrators deploy,
manage and monitor a
network.
The traditional
networks are made up
of specialized
hardware, such as
routers and switches,
that bundle the
networking software
into the
solution.
Such types of software
encompasses a broad
range of software used
for the design,
implementation, and
operation, and
monitoring of
computer networks.
Traditional networks
were hardware-based
with
software embedded.
When software like
Defined Networking
(SDN)
emerged, the software
is separated from the
hardware thus making
it
more adaptable to the
ever-changing nature
of the computer
network.
