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. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






2. Provides th transfer medium (such as cable) - Translates data into a transmission signal appropriate to the transfer medium - Sends the signal along the transfer medium - Includes the pyical layout of the network - Monitors for transmission error - D






3. A set of routines that make up part of a software application






4. A device that must be located at each end of a leased line.






5. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet creation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.






6. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






7. Software that is stored on a chip in a device - such as in a ROM - and that typically composes some type of system software






8. Connects multiple LANs






9. Knows which VLAN a stream of data belongs to by reading a tad added to each frames header






10. Loop back address for IPv6






11. IPSec






12. The process of enclosing data for transmission






13. Techniques that employ hardware and software to province assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data losses






14. To make more efficient use of limited numbers of legitimate IP addressing






15. Internet Engineering Task Force






16. Session Layer






17. ARP






18. Connector used with single mode and multimode fiber optic cable






19. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?






20. Describes a theoretical representation of what happens between two nodes communicating on a network






21. First part of the datagram - which consists of general information about the size of the packet - the protocol that was used to send it - and the IP address of both the source computer and its destination.






22. Multicast group 224-239






23. File Transfere Protocol






24. Which protocol allows users to send emails?






25. Capability for a component or system to continue functioning despite damage or malfunction






26. Packet one node sends to request a connection with another; 1st of three-step process of establishing a connection






27. Internet group management protocol






28. Signals traveling on one wire infringes on the signal traveling over an adjacent wire






29. Only two wire pairs are reversed






30. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






31. Bootstrap Protocol






32. Set of protocols that specify how wireless networks works. Most common are currently B and G. N is an emerging standard.






33. Layer 1






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






35. BIND






36. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






37. Equivalent to OSI Layer 4 Transport






38. IKE






39. Signal interference caused by magnetic force field generated by electrical devices such as motors.






40. Techniques that employ hardware and software to provide assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data loss.






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






42. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol






43. Device used to regenerate a signal






44. Initiates the communication link - Makes sure the communication link is maintained - Determines which node transmits at any point in time - such as which one transmits first - Disconnectd when a communication session is over - Translates node address






45. Network Layer






46. 5th layer; establishes and maintains communication between two nodes on the network; 'traffic cop'






47. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






48. Communications for continuous burst of data controlled by a clock signal that starts each burst.






49. Degradation of a light signal on a fiber-optic network






50. Service data unit
