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. An authentication protocol that uses public key technology to provide users with secured access to network resources.






2. 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






3. Shielded twisted pair






4. Produces guidelines for how network cable should be installed in commercial buildings






5. The pattern used to install a network medium






6. Communications cable that has no shielding material between the pair of insulated wires twisted together and the cable's outside jacket.






7. Unit of data at any layer of the OSI model






8. You may set up a web server on companys access server - allowing global connections - for employees to access






9. DC






10. A computer that accesses another computer - such as a workstation that accesses a shared file on another workstation - server - or mainframe. The client may use the accessed computer (host) to process data - or may process accessed data using its own






11. Compatible with 802.11a - b - g 600-65 throughput






12. Controls how applications access network






13. Connects multiple LANs






14. 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.






15. This layer in the OSI network model manages log on procedures and password recognition.






16. Data Link Layer






17. Ppp tunneling protocol






18. Secure CoPy-utility that allows you to copy files securely from host to another






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






20. A private network that functions like a tunnel through a larger network






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






22. Physical layout of a star topology and also ring logical topology






23. Type of punch-down block used to terminate telephone circuits; does not meet Cat 5 or better standards






24. Application Layer






25. 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






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






27. Public switched telephone network






28. 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






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






30. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






31. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






32. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.






33. Address resolution protocol






34. Ethernet LAN-all forms of Ethernet media and interface






35. POE standard






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






37. Requires CSU/DSU-the connection point for a t1 live at customers site






38. MT-RJ






39. Name Of Layer 2






40. SNMP






41. AM






42. The <html> - <head> and <body> tags are all examples of ________ tags






43. International society composed of engineering professionals - promotes development and education in the electrical engineering and computer fields






44. Type of interference caused by signals traveling on nearby wire pairs infringing on another pair's signal






45. (fix) if analog an amplifier or if digital with repeater






46. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






47. Each computer is connected to a central device






48. A type of address translation in which a limited pool of internet-valid IP addresses is shared by multiple private network hosts.






49. Electromagnetic interference. waves from electrical devices. ex. RFI






50. CDFS
