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.

15. Is a file transfer protocol that uses s ecure shell (SSH)






16. Digital - one signal one channel at a time (half duplexing) ex. ethernet






17. Interference that may be generated by broadcast signals from radio or TV towers






18. A device that can transmit and receive - such as transmitting and receiving signals on a communication cable






19. Reverse address resolution protocol






20. A data encryption technique employed between a server and a client - such as between a client's browser and an Internet server.






21. Equivalent to OSI Layer 4 Transport

32. 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.






33. The medium that carries multiple signals simultaneously






34. Nondata information that mus accompany data in order for a signal to be properly routed and interpreted by the network






35. Name Of Layer 6






36. An error detection method that calculates a value for the total size of the information fields contained in a frame. The value is inserted near the end of a frame by the Data Link layer on the sending node - and checked by the Data Link layer on the






37. For fiber-optic cable communications - the difference between the transmitted power and the receiver sensitivity - as measured in decibels. It is the minimum transmitter power and receiver sensitivity needed for a signal to be sent and received fully






38. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






39. Indication a system has just been attacked or is under attack






40. Standards organizations representing 157 countries headquartered in Geneva. Goal is to establish international standards to facilitate global exchange of information and barrier-free trade
