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.

26. The _____________ allows computers to 'talk' to themselves on a different port.






27. Is used to allow searching and updating of a directory service






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






29. Constructs data frames using the appropriate format for the network - reatea CRC information - Checks for errors using CRC information - Retransmits data if there is error - Initiates the communications link and makes sure it is not interrupted - thu






30. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






31. Type of sensor deployed in such a way that the network traffic it is monitoring must pass through it.






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






33. Physical layer. 10 giga bit throughput. baseband transmission. twisted pair. max length is 100 meters. cat 6 or 7.






34. Protocol data unit. An OSI term to refer generically to a grouping of information by a particular layer of the OSI model. More specifically - an LxPDU would imply the data and headers as defined by Layer x.






35. International telecommunication Union






36. Application that will allow you to configure the workstation to tally these errors and send you and email message every time a problem occured






37. LPR






38. The general topic of how on one computer - two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together - with the lower layer proving services to the higher layer.






39. The gateway that first interprets a device's outbound requests - and then interprets its inbound requests to and from other subnets.






40. Also called coax - a network cable medium that consists of a copper core - surrounded by insulation.






41. Progress of a wave over a time in a relationship






42. Standard rating that indicates the diameter of a wire






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






44. A termination unit also called a transceiver or DSL modem






45. Networking technology developed by IBM in the 80s; relies upon direct links between nodes and ring topology - using tokens to allow nodes to transmit data






46. Protocol data unit






47. Also called the star-wired bus topology - a network design that combines the logial comunications of a bus with the physical layout of a star.






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






49. A shell protocol that enables systems to use various authenticaion mechanisms.






50. Power loss - the amount of signal that is lost as it travels though the communication medium from the source (transmitting node) to the receiving node.
