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. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






2. A type of interference that occurs when two LAN cables run close to each other. If one cable is carrying a signal and the other isn't - the one carrying a signal will induce a 'ghost' signal in the other cable






3. Synchronises data exchange






4. The pattern used to install a network medium






5. Trivial File Transfer Protocol






6. 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






7. An app. that provides centralized authentication and authorization services for a network.






8. Similar to FTP. lets you transfer files between a host and an FTP server






9. The means through which data is transmitted and received






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






11. A network that any user can access with no restrictions. the most familiar example of a public network is the Internet






12. Addresses packet size






13. Gives each node unique address






14. Speed: 100 Mbps - Alternative name: 10BASE-TX - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3u - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100m






15. BRI






16. Telephone jacks






17. Data Link Layer






18. 7th layer; protocols enable software programs to negotiate formatting - procedural - security - synchronization - and other requirements with the network






19. Distinct communication path between two or more nodes; may be separated logically or physically






20. For fiber-optic cable communications - the difference between the transmitted power and the receiver sensitivity - as measured in decibels. It is the minimum transmitter power and receiver sensitivity needed for a signal to be sent and received fully






21. Reflection in multiple different directions of a signal






22. Telecommunications industry association






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






24. Collection of honey pots connecting several honey pot systems on a subnet






25. Physical Layer






26. TFTP - trivial file transfer protocol






27. (fix) if analog shield twisted pairs or if digital with a repeater






28. Maximum arc into which you can loop a cable before you will cause data transmission errors






29. Secure Sockets Layer






30. Aka main cross-connect - first point of interconnection between an organization's LAN or WAN and a service provider's facility






31. The IEEE stanard for error and flow control in data frames.






32. Data terminal equipment - little independent data processing capability. ex. workstation






33. Secures messages being transmitted on the internet - uses RSA for authentication and encyption.






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






35. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






36. Application Layer






37. Most resistant to EMI






38. Multiple physical/non-physical mediums for connecting computers






39. DSU






40. Data Link sublayer that manages flow control






41. CIFS






42. Transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery data






43. Wide area network






44. Which protocol is responsible for routing packets around the network?






45. Plain old telephone service






46. A Data Link sublayer of the OSI model that initiates the communication link between nodes and ensures the link is not unintentionally broken.






47. (metropolitan area network) used with a handful of buildings and larger then a LAN - connects two or more Lans






48. Assigning a unique frequency band to each communication






49. Example of an internetwork






50. Allows an attached computer to act as a dumb terminal - with data processing taking place on the TCP/IP host computer
