Indenting Left and Right Paragraph

The space or distance between the page margin and the text in a paragraph is called indent. These are applied to set the margins of selected paragraph.

In a document, margins determine the overall width of the main text area or in other words, the space between the text and the edge of the page. Indentation determines the distance of a paragraph from either left or right margins. There are six types of indents that can be used in a document. These are:

  • First line indent is the distance between the first line of the paragraph and the left margin.

  • Left indent is the distance between the start of each line of the paragraph and the left margin.

  • Right indent is the distance between the end of each line of the paragraph and the right margin.

  • In hanging indent, the first line of the paragraph is not indented and all other lines start at same distance from the left margin. The first line 'of the paragraph usually starts from the left margin.

To indent a paragraph, follow these steps.

  • Select the Paragraph you want to indent.

  • Select the "Paragraph" command from "Format" drop down menu; "Paragraph" dialog box appears.

  • Specify values in Left and Right fields of indentation and click "Ok" button of dialog box.

What is ISDN?

ISDN stands for Integrated Services Digital Network. It is a set of standards used to digital transmission of voice and data over already existing telephone line. The ISDN uses the multiplexing technique to carry three or more data signals at once through the telephone line. The data transfer speed of ISDN line is very fast than old dial-up connection. ISDN connections are more useful in applications like videoconferencing, to run online movies and upload and download heavy files. In ISDN line, both ends of connections require the ISDN modem and a special telephone set for voice communication.
Basically ISDN divides its total bandwidth into three channels. The basic two channels send data at the speed of 64 Kbps and third one at the speed of 16 Kbps. The 64 kbps channels carry data, voice, image and movies and 16 Kbps channels carry single information and link management data. A computer connected to ISDN service can use both channels. ISDN is twice as fast than a dial-up connection but not much expensive. Its data transmission speed is up to 128 Kbps.

DSL is much easier to install and provides much faster data transfer rate. ADSL connections are more useful in applications like videoconferencing, to run online movies and upload and download heavy files. This connection is ideal for today business requirements.

When Your Printer’s Buffer Overflows……..

Yes, the printer isn’t perfect. When you give the printer more load than it can “remember” from it’s memory buffer, it will either hang, stop, pause or abort the print and give you an error message. Here are a few ways to fight the problems.

Compress

From experience, I found out that a printer seldom or never encounter any buffer overflow from printing text. Rather, it is graphic files (up to 5 MB at a time) that crashes the printer. If you are printing multipage when you get errors, print one at a time. It may be painstaking but it sure beats having an error message. Now if a huge graphic file still makes your printer’s buffer overflow, try to compress the current format you are using. If you are using Photoshop, save it as a normal or “flatten” (without layers) to lower the file size. You might want to try using GIF or JPEG. JPEG is a high-color compression method that can reduce up to 90% less. But saving in this format can be “lossy” (image looks a bit different than the original). I prefer GIF. Although the file size may be bigger in high-colors, but it looks better.

Go For The Upgrade

Most printers allow you to upgrade the memory. The more memory, the less buffer overflow. This is the best solution. Go to your nearest computer dealer to ask for a memory upgrade. Make sure they can get the exact company and model. It might cost a bit but hey, that’s what upgrades are for!

Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)

GSM network is designed by using digital wireless technology. It offers compatible wireless services to all mobile users in all over the world. The basic requirements for GSM are following:

  • Services

  • Quality of services and security

  • Radio frequency utilization

  • Network

Services: The services, which are provided by the system, should be potable to all Mobile Stations or Mobile Phones so that it can b used in all over the world.

Quality of services and security: The quality of both voice and data services of GSM should be good. The voice data is encoded in digital form by using a modulation technique i.e.Gussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK).The security features should be provided by the system to protect the network against unauthorized users.

Radio frequency utilization: The system should use the available band of frequencies (For uplink: 890-915MHz & For downlink: 935-960MHz) efficiently.

Network: Network designers manage the identification and numbering plans while switching and mobility management based upon signaling system i.e. Signaling System Number 7(SS7).

GSM Architecture

The main component groups of GSM architecture are:

  • Mobile Stations (MSs)

  • Base Station System (BSS)

  • Network and Switching Subsystem (NSS)

Mobile Stations (MSs):

The Mobile Station (MS) consist of two operational parts.

  1. Mobile Equipment (ME)

  2. Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)

Mobile Equipment (ME): This is the hard ware used by the subscriber to access the network and it has a unique identity number known as International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI).

Subscriber Identity Module (SIM): This is a type of electronic card that is plugs into ME and contains detailed information about the mobile subscriber.

Base Station System (BSS):

BSS is central equipment, which is located at the cell site. It provides the link between MS and NSS. The BSS consists of two operational parts.

Base Transceiver Station (BTS): BTS consists of transmitting and receiving antennas and signaling equipment that provide air interface for a cell to route the call. BTS communicates with the MS.A single BTS can support one or more cells.

Base Station Controller (BSC): All switching functions, which are performed in MSC, are controlled by BSC. It also supports handoff strategies and allocate or release temporary channels for those users whose needed handoff. Several BTSs can be controlled by a single BSC and one MSC can serve many BSCs

Network Switching Subsystem (NSS)

It is the main switching center of GSM network. NSS includes the following:

Mobile Switching Center (MSC): It is the basic unit of NSS, which supports call-switching or routing functions. Its purpose is the same as that of telephone exchange but due to advanced wireless technology, its working is much better than that of exchange. Each MSC provides coverage to a defined geographic area only.

Home Location Register (HLR): For subscriber its a reference data base. Current location of MS, identification numbers and various addresses are maintained in it.

Visitor Location Register (VLR): It̢۪s also a type of database. When an MS moves from home location to a visited location then its location is registered as a visitor in the VLR of visited system and this information is also updated in HLR of MS, by the VLR.

Equipment Identity Register (EIR): Its again a type of database, which contains information about MS equipment and check and identify its international validity of hardware and software to work properly.

Authentication center (AUC): Its a processing center and is normally worked together with HLR.Like HLR its also require to continuously access or update subscribers data. Its main purpose is to provide data security features to authenticate the subscriber.
