Subject : it-skills
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that uses ICMP to trace the path from one networked node to another - identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes. Traceroute is useful for determining router or subnet connectivity problems. On Windows-ba






2. A TCP/IP utility used to show or modify a client's host name.






3. A network that links multiple LAN's in large city or metropolitan region.






4. A combination of LAN's - MAN's - or WAN's that provides computer users with an array of computer and network resources to complete different tasks.






5. Max size of data units on Ethernet networks






6. Layer 1 Troubleshooting

9. Network interface card






10. What does POP3 stand for?






11. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t






12. Panel of data receptors into which twisted pair wire is inserted to complete a circuit






13. Technique for formatting signals in which one property of a carrier wave is modified by the addition of a data signal during transmission






14. Four twisted wire pairs with three twists per foot. This type can handle transmissions up to 16 MHz. Now limited to telecommunication equipment

26. Satellite used for broadband internet access






27. A computer that provides client stations with access to files and printers as shared resources to a computer network






28. 7th layer; protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network






29. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






30. A device used to connect thicknet cable with a transceiver. A vampire bypasses the need to serve the cable - because the vampire tap has a metal tooth that pierces through the outside cable insulation (like a vampire) and connects with the copper wir

43. Not individually insulated but shielded. use when there is noise.






44. Equivalent to OSI Layer 4 Transport






45. First part of the datagram - which consists of general information about the size of the packet - the protocol that was used to send it - and the IP address of both the source computer and its destination.






46. Ethernet LAN-all forms of Ethernet media and interface
