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. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations






2. Functions at the network layer that add logical addresses and properly route data






3. Which layer is responsible for putting data into frames as well as providing error checking data?






4. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






5. NDS






6. 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






7. The placement of data from a higher-layer protocol behind the header (and in some cases - between a header and trailer) of the next-lower-layer protocol. For example - an IP packet could be encapsulated in an Ethernet header and trailer before being






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






9. Computers connected together within a limited geographical area






10. A worldwide network network of interconnected LANs - and MANs - that uses the TCP/IP protocol to enable people to share e-mail messages and computer files and to access a vast array of infromation.






11. Network device that makes high-level application connections on behalf of internal hosts and other machines






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






13. What is the currency of Denmark?






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






15. This layer in the OSI network model manages log on procedures and password recognition.






16. POP3 - post office protocol 3






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






18. Alert or alarm that occurs in the absence of an actual attack






19. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basis without going through an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resources - suc






20. Protocol that encapsulates data for transmission over VPNs






21. All wires are reversed






22. Several ethernet nodes can be connected and can monitor traffic or access media simultaneously






23. A form of address translation that uses Tcp port numbers to distinguish each client's transmission - thus allowing multiple clients to share a limited number of Internet-recognized IP addresses.






24. A process that ensures one device does not send information faster than it can be received by another device.






25. Style of data transmission in which the pulses that represent bits follow one another along a single transmission line; sequentially issued






26. UDP






27. Twist wire so you don't get interference on the memory






28. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection






29. FDM






30. Communications cable that has no shielding material between the pair of insulated wires twisted together and the cable's outside jacket.






31. Provides FTP - HTTP - SMTP...






32. The IEEE standard for Ethernet networking devices and data handling (using the CSMA/CD access method)






33. IEEE standard for error and flow control in data frames






34. Wavelength division multiplexing






35. UN agency that regulates international telecommunications and provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment to advance their technological bases






36. Network cable that contains pairs of insulated wires that are twisted together and surrounded by a shielding material for added EMI and RFI protection - all inside a protective jacket.






37. MIB






38. Type of transmission in which signals may travel in both directions over a medium simultaneously; also called duplex






39. The process of validating a user.






40. A specialized UN agency that provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment






41. One transmitter issues signals to multiple receivers; receivers may be undefined or defined






42. Layer 6






43. Analog - only one direction. radio frequency analog waves w differences in frequency. expensive - longer distance. ex. cable TV






44. Public switched telephone network






45. Resistance that contributes to controlling an electrical signal; measured in ohms






46. A cable that consists of a single cable sheath containing a combination of fibers and copper cable.






47. SLIP






48. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






49. Point of division between a telecommunications service carrier's network and a building's internal network






50. QoS technique enables packet switches technologies to travel over traditionally circuit switched connections
