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.

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






14. A TCP/IP utility used to show or modify a client's host name.






15. User watching an episode of TV show over the internet is what kind of communication






16. Round time trip. time it takes for packet to get from sender to receiver and back

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






19. The process of attracting attention to a system by placing tantalizing information in key locations.






20. Process of adjusting IDPS to maximize efficiency in detecting true positives - while minimizing false positives and false negatives






21. Transport Layer






22. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






23. Provides a generic method of transferring files






24. Standard that describes a security technique - wireless networks - in which a port is prevented from receiving traffic until the transmitters credentials are verified by authentication server






25. A network whose access is restricted to only clients or machines with proper credentials.






26. Begins when a system that initiated the connection transmits a PPP frame.






27. Internet Engineering Task Force






28. 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






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






30. Equivalent to OSI Layer 2 Data Link & Layer 1 Physical






31. Network layer device






32. 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






33. The process of checking a communication medium - such as cable - for a voltage level - signal transition - or light - indicating the presence of a data-carrying signal.






34. Is a protocol for defining host groups.






35. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






36. PPTP






37. ISDN






38. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified






39. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable that reflects the light-based signals like a mirror within the cable - resulting in different signals arriving at different times and with an increased likeihood of distortion over longer cable runs.






40. Measure of a signal's strength
