Document Summary
Using its alu arithmetic logic unit, a microprocessor can perform mathematical operations. It can move data from one memory location to another. A microprocessor can make decisions and jump to a new set of instructions based on those decisions. Random access memory (you can get at it and change its contents via the microprocessor. Read only memory (you can only read its contents via the microprocessor, not write to them) Ram will lose all its data if subjected to power loss. Communication over a single cable shared by all devices. Is a local area technology, with networks traditionally operating within a single building, connecting devices in close proximity. This is cold a local or wide area network. A protocol is a set of rules that govern communications - a language. Information is sent in a series of frames. To be sent every frame sent must have both a destination address and a sending address.
