Brief and Examples on Simplex, Half-Duplex, Full-Duplex Transmission

In data communication, there are three types of communication styles; they are Simplex, Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex. Here we discuss about their characteristics with examples. Simplex: In this communication style data can send only and basically it is one way or uni-direction communication. This type of communication is not widely used for transmit trusted data because it can not send any error or control signal to sender terminal. This style of communication is vastly used in Radio and TV where we can see and hear or receive data only but we can not send any information data by the same channel. Half-Duplex: Half-Duplex is another type of communication style where data can and send and receive but not at the same time. In this communication type, if data is send from one end, then we can not send data from another that means communication establish in one direction.  This communication vastly used in walkie-talkie, intercom, string phone etc. The practical exam

So we need to keep it intact without any unnecessary changes. If any user except can have the right to change date and time from user end, then it will fall us in deep trouble specially when we run software which take entry time input from end user end. There are also many software mechanisms which does not allow date and time difference to start up.  For above reason we do not give user access to change date and time from user end. We can limit the user from this feature. Here I show steps how we can control user access in windows operating systems. Steps to follow:- 1. Go to "Start menu" an
