Hello everyone, a bit confused here and hoping for some clarification...
I'm studying computer science, and in most of the books I've been reading most ethernet networks are baseband networks.. 10BaseT 100baseT...100baseFX..1000baseLX etc... Meaning only 1 signal can traverse the ethernet cat cable... The reason why dial up connection interrupted phone calls, because it used up the signaling for internet connection.
Now here at school we have internet and printing done on 1 ethernet cable. My question is, how can the ethernet cable support both signals, the internet and the printing requests on 1 wire? I can send out printing requests, and surf the internet at the same time? How can I do this if our connection is based on a baseband technology? Or is it broadband and I just don't know? Like I said from my readings, they haven't discussed any broadband ethernet connections
