Explain the differences between:
a. Synchronous and asynchronous communications
Both of these forms of communication are a means of transmitting data. The difference is in the format that the data is transmitted.
Synchronous Mode
Transmissions that are timed by a clocking signal and occur with equal time intervals between them. Synchronous mode does not require a start and stop codes as in asynchronous mode. See also Asynchronous Mode.
Asynchronous Mode
Not synchronous. A way to send transmissions by starting and stopping transmissions with a code rather than sending transmissions at specific time intervals as in synchronous mode. Asynchronous communication devices do not have to be synchronized with a clocking signal, which is required with synchronous transmission. Also frequently referred to as ATM or Asynchronous Transfer Mode. See also Synchronous Mode.
Asynchronous communications is the method of communications most widely used for PC communication and is commonly......
