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. Transport Layer






2. Media Access Unit (transmitter/ receiver)






3. Sequences packets in correct order






4. BootP






5. Data terminal equipment - little independent data processing capability. ex. workstation






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






7. Device that acts as a wireless switch so that nodes can connect wirelessly to a network.






8. Network layer device






9. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers






10. Is a TCP/IP service that converts a computer or domain name to an IP address or that converts an IP address to a computer or domain name.






11. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t






12. Feeding everybody in building






13. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






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






15. IMAP - internet message access protocol






16. Software that enables a computer to communicate with devices such as NICs - printers - monitors - and hard disk drives.






17. Connection for data exchange between two parties






18. Physical Layer






19. GBIC






20. Connection-less






21. Guarantees that a server continually has power even if a buildings electrical service is interrupted - continuous voltage to a device by switching virtually instantaneously to the battery when it detects loss of power






22. A versatile - chainable serial-bus technology that connects up to 127 devices at speeds of 1.5 Mbps and 12 Mbps as well as 480 Mbps.






23. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






24. Signal interference caused by electrical devices that emit radio waves at the same frequency used by network signal transmissions.






25. A form of fiber-optic cable that supports only one signal transmission at a time and that is used mainly for long- distance communication.






26. Application layer protocol that formulates and interprets requests between Web clients and servers






27. The device inside a computer that connect a computer to the network media






28. Virtually local area network-device-switch






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






30. Layer 7






31. The communication between two networking devices for the purposes of the functions defined at a particular layer of a networking model - with the communication happening by using a header defined by that layer of the model. The two devices set values






32. File Transfere Protocol






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






34. Data only






35. Application Layer






36. Measure of strength






37. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






38. A data communications technique that transmits a packet directly from the sending node - though a switch - and to the receiving node - without passing though other network nodes.






39. Device that modulates analog signals into digital signals for transmission over telephone lines - and demodulates digital signals into analog for the receiving end






40. The ability to send or receive signals on a medium - but not at the same time.






41. Used to resolve NetBIOS names w IP address






42. Hard-to-define skills such as dependability






43. Frequency Division Multiple Access






44. Basic error correction and detection






45. DC






46. A single computer that provides extensive multiuser access to network resources - such as shared files - shared disks - and shared printers.






47. Network Layer






48. A network design built by running cable from one PC of file server to the next - like links in a chain.






49. Two communication systems establish 2-way communication prior to the exchange of data






50. Similar to FTP. lets you transfer files between a host and an FTP server
