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. Strategy in which all control functions are applied at the physical location of each IDPS component






2. Distance between corresponding points on cycle






3. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






4. Application layer protocol used to access information stored in a directory






5. Public switched telephone network






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






7. A network that links multiple LANs in a large city or metropolitan region.






8. IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer of the data link layer






9. Network layer service that subdivides segments it receives from the Transport layer into smaller packets






10. Layer 7






11. 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.






12. Positive and zero. 1 and 0's.






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






14. IEEE standard for broadband wireless in MAN (WiMAX)






15. The combination of an IP address's network ID and subnet information. By interpreting the address's extended network prefix - a device can determine the subnet to which an address belongs.






16. A logical process of combining bits. In ANDing - a bit with a value of 1 plus another bit with a value of 1 results in a 1. A bit with a value of 0 plus any other bit results in a 0.






17. Used to determine where patch cable for a specific server terminates on the patch panel - and checks for the presence of noise on a wire






18. RAS






19. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






20. Is a secure form of HTTP






21. Upper sublayer in the Data Link layer. Provides a common interface and supplies reliability and flow control services






22. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






23. A process that ensures one device does not send information faster than it can be received by another device.






24. The capacity to send and receive signals at the same time on the same medium.






25. Twisted pair patch cable in which the termination locations of the transmit and receive wires on one end of the cable are reversed






26. Logical link control






27. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






28. 1000 representatives from industry and gov't who determine standards for electronics - chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






29. Intelligently direct data between networks based on addressing - patterns of usage - and availability of network segments






30. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






31. A high-capacity communications medium that joins networks on the same floor in a building - on different floors - and across long distances.






32. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






33. A digital communication service that uses the same network infrastructure as PSTN - but is expensive






34. Compresses






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






36. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol






37. The wave splits into secondary waves






38. Unit of data that results from subdividing a larger protocol data unit






39. IANA






40. A station checks for existing wireless transmissions before starting the transmission






41. LPD






42. 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






43. L2TP






44. An established guideline that specifies how networked data is formatted into a packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






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






46. PRI






47. The oldest type of network design with - this topology consist fo multiple nodes attached to a central hub - switch - or router.






48. Device that separates a medium into multiple channels and issues signals to each of those subchannels






49. Model for understanding and developing computer-to-computer communication developed in the 80s by ISO; divides networking functions among 7 layers






50. A service used via the Application layer to recognize and access other layers
