DATA LINK LAYER

The Data Link Layer acts as an intermediate Layer between Transaction and Physical Layer, nothing but a Gate Keeper. The main responsibility of Data Link Layer is Error detection and correction.

Data Link Layer Model

Data Link Layer takes the TLP-Transaction Layer Packet from transmit side of the Transaction Layer. Here 12 bit sequence Number is added in front of the TLP and LCRC-Link CRC checker to the end.

Data Link Layer then forwards the applied TLP to the Physical Layer transmit side. On the receive side of Data Link Layer, accepts the packet from Physical Layer and checks the Sequence Number and LCRC with the applied Sequence Number and LCRC. If the Sequence Number/LCRC matches then the TLP are moved to receive side of Transaction Layer and generates ACK (Acknowledgement) signal. If there is any mismatches/error detects in Sequence Number or LCRC then Data Link Layer does not send the “Invalid or Bad” TLP to receive side of Transaction Layer, instead it generates NAK (Negative Acknowledgement). Data Link Layer now starts “Retry” attempts to send the valid TLP to Transaction Layer.

Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.

I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.

I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).

Reasons I chose them over the others:
1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.

How did they do it
1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.

My Experience
I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
