- 11What does the Network Card doIt allows data packets to travel back and forth between a computer and a network
- 12What is the name for the unique code that each Network card has? Full name? Abbreviation? How many digits?Media Access Control Address
MAC Address
48 digits - 13How does the computer know which packets are theirs? What happens to packets that are not meant for that computer?If the Destination Address = the MAC Address of the device it is accepted
If the Destination Address != the MAC Address of the device it is ignored - 14How can administrators of computer networks use the MAC AddressIt can allow them to only let certain devices connect to the network
For example, in a school, the MAC Address of each computer owned by the school will be whitelisted, any new device that tries to join will be blocked as its MAC Address is not known by the system - 15What makes a Wireless Network Card different from a regular Network CardIt is mostly the same, except that the Wireless Network Card can allow for data packets to be transferred wirelessly
- 16Why do many computers not have an extra graphics card installedAs they already have a basic graphics chip installed directly onto the motherboard that is prefect for everyday use
