A modem term that describes the initial exchange between modems. It's like "are you there?" with the response "I am here."
The process computers and modems go through in order to establish a connection and agree on the speed and protocols for data transmission.
A protocol for modems to indicate when to start and stop transmitting, and other information about the connection.
Exchange of predetermined signals for control when a connection is established between two modems or other devices.
In data communications, a sequence of events governed by hardware or software, requiring mutual agreement of the state of the operational modes prior to information exchange. The process used to establish communications parameters between two stations.
Exchange of control codes or specific characters to control data flow. ... more
The signal between two devices indicating that the transfer of data is conveyed and received successfully.
A procedure performed by modems, terminals, and computers to verify that communication has been correctly established.
When two modems begin to communicate, the initial agreement made as to how to send and receive data.
When the server sends an encryption scheme to a client, thereby protecting the client's data during transmittal.
A method by which two devices indicate readiness to send and receive data. Also see flow control.
the exchange of control and status information between two circuits. Handshaking is used to coordinate the transfer of data between circuits.
is a form of encryption. One system, typically the server, sends an encryption scheme to another agent, typically a client. Thus, the client's data is protected during transmittal to the server.
Predetermined hardware or software activity designed to establish or maintain two devices or programs in synchronisation.
A set of signals that coordinate the transfer of data from one device to another.
Method by which data is exchanged between devices only when each device has signalled that it is ready.
How two devices initiate communications. For example, when your computer dials in to AT&T Yahoo! your modem and the modem at our POP send messages to each other--that's handshaking.
Exchange of predetermined codes and signals between two data devices to establish and control a connection.
Is the way in which the data flow between computers/hardware is regulated and controlled. Two distinct kinds of handshaking are described: Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking. An important distinction between the kinds of signals of the interface is between data signals and control signals. Data signals are simply the pins which actually transmit and receive the characters, while control signals are everything else.
Hardware or software handshaking is a pre-defined exchange of signals or control characters between two devices or nodes that sets up the conditions for data transfer.
The initial negotiation period immediately after a connection is established between two modems. This is when the modems agree about how the data will be transmitted (e.g., error correction, packet size, etc.). The set of rules they agree on is called the protocol.
Exchange of predetermined signals between two devices establishing a connection.
A series of signals acknowledging that communication can take place between computers or other devices. A hardware handshake is an exchange of signals over specific wires (other than the data wires), in which each device indicates its readiness to send or receive data. A software handshake consists of signals transmitted over the same wires used to transfer data, as in modem-to-modem communications over telephone lines.
The process by which both sending and receiving devices in a computer network maintain and coordinate data communications.
The process used by modems and equipment, before transmitting data, to establish an electrical path and synchronization.
