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. Layer 6






2. ATM






3. A type of subnet that is created using bits that normally would be reserved for network class information by moving the subnet boundary to the left.

8. A flexible communications cable that contains pairs of insulated copper wires that are twisted together for reduction of EMI and RFI and covered with an outer insulating jacket.






9. Most common cabling used in networking. Usually connects nodes to the main network.






10. 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






11. Representatives from electronics manufacturers across the US that sets standards for electronic equipment and lobbies for legislation favorable to the growth of the computer and electronics industries






12. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals






13. An advantage of networks






14. Strategy in which all control functions are applied at the physical location of each IDPS component






15. Security for https://






16. Eight bits of information; in a digital signaling system - one byte carries one piece of information






17. Physical layer standard for serial communications






18. Which protocol allows users to recieve emails?






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






20. Used to resolve NetBIOS names w IP address






21. Method of controlling how network nodes access communication channels - ex highway






22. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






23. A digital communication service that uses the same network infrastructure as PSTN - but is expensive






24. Process of directing a datagram from its source through an internetwork to its destination using the most efficient path.






25. 6th layer; protocols translate between Application and Network layers; data are formatted so that the network can understand - with the format varying according to the type of network; manages data encryption and decryption - such as scrambling of sy






26. Device that enables networks or segments using different media to interconnect and exchange signals






27. Process of grouping almost identical alarms occurring at almost same time into single higher-level alarm






28. ISM






29. POP3 - post office protocol 3






30. Communications arrangement in which a single transmitter issues signals to multiple - defined recipients






31. Useful for troubleshooting a network connectivity problem from workstation to another workstation






32. Nondata info that must accompany data for it to be properly routed. addition to data






33. The process of connecting to a wireless network






34. Upper sublayer in the Data Link layer. Provides a common interface and supplies reliability and flow control services






35. Gives each node unique address






36. Requires many pulses to transmit same info that an analog can transmit in a wave






37. Source emits a RTS (request to send) signal to the access point - and the access point replies with CTS (clear to send) for the source to begin its transmission






38. Network layer device






39. Routing protocol has the poorest convergence time






40. Simple Network Management Protocol






41. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






42. Issue signals along a network medium






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






44. An IP addressing convention that adheres to network class distinctions - in which the first 8 bits of a Class A address - the first 16 bits of a Class B address - and the first 24 bits of a Class C address are used for network Information






45. American national standards institute






46. What early protocol allows users to access machines remotley that has no security implemented within it?






47. Not-for-profit agency that manages distribution of IP addresses; ARIN for Americas and Sub-Saharan Africa - APNIC for Asia-Pacific - RIPE for Europe and North Africa






48. Measure of frequency equivalent to the number of amplitude cycles per second






49. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






50. Is a host-to-host protocol like TCP - however it does not include mechanisms for ensuring timely delivery
