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. GSNW






2. The cableing or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them.






3. A transmitter concentrates the signal energy at a single frequency or in a very small range of frequencies






4. AFP






5. An adapter board designed to connect a workstation - server - or other network device to a network medium.






6. Compresses






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






8. Gigabit Interface Converter - Plugs in to an interface on a switch






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






10. MSAU






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






12. Metropolitan area network






13. CIFS






14. LC - ST - SC - or MT RJ






15. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






16. L2F






17. A type of transmission in which the entire channel capacity of the communications medium (such as cable) is used by one data signal - enabling only one node to transmit at a time.






18. Form of transmission in which signals are modulated as radiofrequency analog pulses with different frequency ranges; does not involve binary coding






19. Used to log on to a UNIX host






20. Hackers sending emails to make it look like its legit and its actually dangerous to the workstation






21. Addresses packet size






22. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






23. Each node is connected to the two nearest nodes so that the entire network forms a circle - active - twisted pair of fiber optic - single malfunction in workstation can disable entire network - not flexible or scalbe






24. Signals composed ot pulses that can have a value of only 1 or 0






25. Physical and Data Link layers






26. Device with little - if any - of it's own processing or disk capacity; depends on a host to supply it with applications and data-processing services






27. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






28. DSU






29. Appends physical address of destination computer onto the frame






30. Delay between the transmission of a signal and its receipt






31. Name Of Layer 2






32. Hypertext Transfer Protocol






33. For fiber-optic cable communications - the difference between the transmitted power and the receiver sensitivity - as measured in decibels. It is the minimum transmitter power and receiver sensitivity needed for a signal to be sent and received fully






34. Works closely with IP in providing error and control information - by allowing hosts to exchange packet status information to help move the packets along the internetwork






35. Every node on the network is connected through a central device like a switch - cannot be disabled by a single malfunction in a workstation - scalable - - popular - expensive - cable malfunction will only effect 2 workstations - more fault tolerant.






36. Area above the ceiling tile or below the subfloor in a building






37. FTP - file transfer- control






38. International Organization for Standardization






39. Method of gauging the appropriate rate of data transmission based on how fast he recipient can accept data






40. Similar to bus topology - but the ends are connected






41. The way nodes responds to a collision






42. Port used during a domain name lookup






43. Name Of Layer 7






44. EFS






45. Data jack






46. The pattern used to install a network medium






47. User friendly web addresses are translated into IP addresses by the...






48. Equals a single pulse in the digital encoding system






49. Measure of the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies that a medium can transmit






50. A type of cable used in network wiring and is usually shielded - which means that it is more immune to interference then unshielded cables
