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.

2. Signals traveling on one wire infringes on the signal traveling over an adjacent wire






3. Method of controlling how network nodes access communication channels - ex highway






4. SSID






5. Device that modulates analog signals into digital signals for transmission over telephone lines - and demodulates digital signals into analog for the receiving end






6. Routes packets through network

22. PDC






23. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






24. CHAP






25. Modulation technique in which the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified by the application of a data signal






26. Knows which VLAN a stream of data belongs to by reading a tad added to each frames header






27. Total amount of communication cable that make up a network.






28. Progress of a wave over a time in a relationship






29. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






30. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure






31. The IEEE 802.3ae standard for Ethernet communications at 10 Gbps






32. Connector with 9 pins - commonly used in a serial communication that conforms to the rs-232 standard






33. A specialized device that allows multiple networks or segments to connect and exchange data






34. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection






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

41. PRI






42. Pointing in a direction






43. Address resolution protocol






44. Package for data that includes not only the data - or 'payload -' but also the sender's and recipient's addressing and control information. Generated at the Data Link layer and issued to the Physical layer






45. Network cable that contains pairs of insulated wires that are twisted together and surrounded by a shielding material for added EMI and RFI protection - all inside a protective jacket.






46. Tracks running and graphing data from any workstations. should ensure that new routers and switches can support it in order to easily automate network management






47. Addresses packet size






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






49. Is a challenge respone authentication protocol






50. Issue signals along a network medium
