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 remote connection where the client computer is a low-end computer that communicates with a terminal server.






2. String used to identify an access point - configure on your new access points to match the settings on existing access points






3. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.






4. Long reach. multimode max length is 550 meters. single mode max length is 5000. 1000 mpbs. baseband transmission






5. Default subnet mask for 154.13.44.87






6. Secure CoPy-utility that allows you to copy files securely from host to another






7. Routers work here






8. Ensures outgoing traffic can traverse public networks by replacing each outgoing packets source addresss field w valid IP address






9. 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.






10. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






11. ADSL






12. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






13. 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 stops. Absorbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end






14. IDPS that compares sampled network activity to established baseline






15. Used connecting a workstation to a routers console part






16. Amplitude - frequency (Hz) - wavelength - wavy line






17. An error condition on a token ring network that indicates one or more nodes is not functioning.






18. An IDPS that resides on particular computer or server (the host) and monitors activity only on that system. Also known as system integrity verifiers.






19. Is used to allow searching and updating of a directory service






20. Event that triggers alarms and causes an IDPS to react as if a real attack is in progress






21. Multiplexing technique use over single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cable in which each signal is assigned a different wavelength for its carrier wave; little space exists between carrier waves






22. Progress of a wave over a time in a relationship






23. Dynamic host configuration protocol






24. IPX






25. ARP






26. Method of data modulation in which the frequency of the carrier signal is modified by the application of the data signal






27. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?






28. The device inside a computer that connect a computer to the network media






29. Faster networking and inexpensive - flexible - easy to install






30. Services that handle hardware diagnoses and failure alerts






31. 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






32. Provides strung security for HTTP- transpored information - but it is only used by some vendor's application






33. A technique for connecting to a network at a remote location using Internet as the medium.






34. A medium that carries 1 signal






35. DNS - Domain name system






36. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






37. When pulses that represent bits follow one another along a single transmission






38. Decreasing the size of data units when moving data from a network that can handle larger units to one that can handle only smaller units






39. The general topic of how on one computer - two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together - with the lower layer proving services to the higher layer.






40. The physical layout of the cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames and packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions






41. Transforms data into a form network or applications will understand






42. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






43. A combination of techniques used to detect an intrusion and then to trace it back to its source






44. # of times that waves amplitude cycles - hertz






45. The process of connecting to a wireless network






46. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






47. The Application layer TCP/IP subprotocol responsible for moving messages from one e-mail server to another.






48. Frequency hoping spread spectrum: a signal jumps between several different frequencies






49. A device that must be located at each end of a leased line.






50. All wires are reversed
