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.

12. Address resolution protocol






13. SFTP






14. What does POP3 stand for?






15. Package for data that includes not only the data - or 'payload -' but also the sender's and recipient's addressing and control information. Generated at the Data Link layer and issued to the Physical layer






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

33. Hardware device located at the ISP side of ADSL connections.






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






35. A protocol that runs in the Dession and Transport layers of the OSI model and associates NetBIOS names with workstations. NetBIOS alone is not routable because it does not contain Network Layer information. However - when encapsulated in another prot






36. BERT






37. Provides services for applications






38. Individual insulated wire pairs - less expensive then STP - less resistant to noise






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






40. Bus topology: A network design built by running cable from one PC or file server to the next - like links in a chain.
