1. 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.






2. A device that converts an analog to digital signal and vice versa






3. GBIC

12. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals






13. Standard rating that indicates the diameter of a wire






14. A TCP/IP utility that allows you to look up the DNS host name of a network node by specifying its IP address - or vice versa. This is useful for verifying that a hos is configured correctly and for troubleshooting DNS resolution problems






15. A data communications technique that transmits a packet directly from the sending node - though a switch - and to the receiving node - without passing though other network nodes.






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






17. A private computer network with resources accessible only to internal members.






18. NTP - network time protocol

20. A medium that carries 1 signal






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






22. Device with little - if any - of it's own processing or disk capacity; depends on a host to supply it with applications and data-processing services






23. Internet society






24. A system of computers - print devices - network devices - and computer software linked by communications cabling or radio waves.






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






26. Shielded twisted pair






27. Speed: 1000 Mbps - Alternative name: 1000BASE-LX - 1000BASE-SX - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3z - Cable Type: Fiber max length 550m (sx) - 5 km(lx)






28. A data encryption technique employed between a server and a client - such as between a client's browser and an Internet server.

35. Appends physical address of destination computer onto the frame






36. Data Link Layer






37. FDDI






38. Network standard that can reliaby transmit data farthest






39. Name Of Layer 3






40. A term referring to a data-link header and trailer - plus the data encapsulated between the header and trailer.






41. Offers one way for a computer to access another computer over the network or over the Internet. For example - an IBM programmer can use Telnet on a Windows XP or Red Hat Enterprise Linux computer to access a mainframe though the Internet






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






43. Which protocol allows users to send emails?






44. Vulnerability created in a system by a virus or worm which allows the attacker to access the system at will with special privileges.
