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






2. Time Division Multiple Access






3. The shorter the wavelength






4. Transport Layer






5. Facilities necessary for a service provider to connect with another organization LAN or WAN






6. Data circuit-terminating equipment. multiplexer or modem






7. Translated network addresses into their physical counterparts






8. Determines standards for the electronics industry and other fields - such as chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






9. The Application layer TCP/IP subprotocol responsible for moving messages from one e-mail server to another.






10. Layer 4






11. Provides FTP - HTTP - SMTP...






12. Data Link Layer






13. The seventh layer of the OSI model. Application layer protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network.






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






15. Which class of IP address would be allocated to a very large company?






16. Plain old telephone service






17. Most resistant to EMI






18. A type of address translation in which each private IP address is correlated with its own Internet-recognized IP address.






19. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.






20. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






21. A data link protocol used for remote networking that is rarely used today.






22. The process of enclosing data for transmission






23. A coaxial connector uses a twist and lock style - may be used with Rg-6 and RG-59






24. Device that boosts - or strengthens - and analog signal






25. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






26. Which protocol is responsible for splitting data into packets and adding a header to each one?






27. Connection based






28. The means through which data is transmitted and received






29. Method of data modulation in which the frequency of the carrier signal is modified by the application of the data signal






30. An internetwork is two or more computer networks connected together.






31. IDPS that compares sampled network activity to established baseline






32. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






33. Also called the star-wired ring topology - a network design in which the logic communication are in a ring - but the phyical layout of the network star.






34. IEEE standard for token ring devices and data handling






35. A type of cabling that includes pairs of copper conductors - twisted around each other - inside a metal or foil shield. This type of medium can support faster speeds than unshielded wiring






36. Helps you identify percentage of traffic that compromises broadcasts






37. Is used to route electronic mail through the internetwork






38. Single mode fiber






39. Saturation of network bandwidth caused by excessive traffic - as when a large number of computers or devices attemp to transmit simultaneously - or when computers or devices presist in transmitting repeatedly.






40. Set of routines that make up part of a software application






41. A unit of data transmitted on a network that contains control and address information corresponding to the OSI Data Link layer - or Layer 2.






42. Open Systems Interconnection model






43. ICA






44. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers






45. CRAM-MD5






46. 12 digits - A-F/0-9






47. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






48. Internet group management protocol






49. Network Layer






50. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 250 MHz.
