A telephone line, cable, or the atmosphere are all transmission media or channels. But before the data can be communicated, it must be converted into a form suitable for communication. 数据为了传递，必须通过一些东西：电话线、电缆或空气都是传输介质，即信道。但是，数据在传送前必须被转化成适于通信的形式。 数据通信线路可以以两种配置方式连接：点到点和多点线路连接。点到点线路直接连接发送设备和接收设备，多点线路连接多个设备而不仅一个发送设备和一个接收设备。 Data communications lines can be connected in two types of configurations: point-to-point and multidrop. A point-to-point line directly connects the sending and the receiving devices, and a multidrop line connects many devices, not just one sending device and one receiving device. 微型机之间以及与其他设备的连接有通过电缆和通过空气两种方法。数据可以被转化为用于通信的三种基本形式：电脉冲或电荷、电磁波和光波。 The two ways of connecting microcomputers with each other and with other equipments are through the cable and through the air. There are three basic forms into which d
