Lecture Notes
The links below lead to a variety of file formats. Some are links to industry websites. Some files, mainly from the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) Annual Review of Communication and their Web ProForum tutorials, are Portable Document Format (PDF) files, while files such as the exam reviews are saved in Rich Text Format (RTF), which is a ASCII text format that retains the most common forms of formatting. They can be opened in any word processing program. When you click on the PDF, Powerpoint and RTF files, they will not display in your browser. Instead, they will download to your hard drive or disk drive. If you are not sure where the file is once it downloads, use your Find function and enter the file name (for instance, telephony.ppt, SS7.PDF, etc.). If I think a file size is relevant for your downloading, I've noted it.
