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.

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






7. An organization composed of more than 100 representatives from industry and government who together determine standards for the electronics industry in addition to other fields - such as chemical and nuclear engineering.






8. Data transmission that involves one transmitter and one receiver






9. Logical link control






10. The physical layout of a computer network






11. LPR






12. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






13. FTP is an application that enables the transfer of data from one remote device to another - using TCP/IP






14. Equivalent to OSI Layer 2 Data Link & Layer 1 Physical

16. An 8-bit character-coding method consisting of 96 uppercase and lowercase characters and numbers - plus 32 nonprinting characters.






17. Gives each node unique address






18. User datagram protocol






19. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






20. 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.






21. Application Layer






22. A physical layer standard that defines a method for building a synchronous telecommunications network based on fiber-optic cables.






23. Specify clients configurations to adhere to this subnet






24. Defines the physical characteristics of the network






25. Which protocol allows users to recieve emails?






26. CSMA / CD






27. NIS






28. Form of transmission that allows multiple signals to travel simultaneously over one medium






29. Junction point between the MDF and concentrations of fewer connections; those that terminate in a telecommunications closet






30. The process of determining the best path from Point A on one network to Point B on another






31. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






32. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






33. A network owned and maintained by an organization -such as a campus network operated by a college.






34. Enables sharing remote drivers - Enables sharing remote printers - Handles e-mail messages - Provides file transfer services - Provides file management services - Provides terminal emulation

40. CHAP






41. Prevents two nodes transmitting at the same time






42. Each computer is connected to a central device






43. Twisted pair cable consisting of a number of twisted pairs of copper wire with a simple plastic casing. Because - no shielding is used in this cable - it is very susceptible to EMI - RFI - and other types of interference






44. A specially configured connection on a network device that is capable of viewing all the traffic that moves through the entire device.






45. Transport Layer






46. Which protocol is responsible for routing packets around the network?






47. Every node on the network is connected through a central device like a switch - cannot be disabled by a single malfunction in a workstation - scalable - - popular - expensive - cable malfunction will only effect 2 workstations - more fault tolerant.






48. A network that links multiple LANs in a large city or metropolitan region.






49. Physical Layer






50. On a cable-TV WAN - a central receiving point for signals from various sources - including satellite - major cable sources - and local tevevision sources.
