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. Radio frequency interference

17. Performs name resolution






18. Signals travel in both directions but only one at a time






19. Lowest or 1st layer; protocols generate and detect signals so as to transmit and receive data over a network medium - also set the data transmission rate and monitor data error rates - but do not provide error correction

31. The utility that allows you to query ICANN's DNS registration database and find information about a domain.






32. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






33. Algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame






34. Faster networking and inexpensive - flexible - easy to install






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






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






37. Short reach. only multimode-max length is 500. baseband transmission. 1000 mpbs.

40. Crimp into pins 1 and 2 of RJ 45 connector






41. Layer 1






42. Core TCP/IP protocol that operates in the Network layer and provided information about how and where data should be delivered; subprotocol that enables TCP/IP to inernetwork






43. Rules and configuration guidelines governing implementation and operation of IDPSs within an organization






44. This layer in the OSI transforms bits into electromagnetic signals.






45. Can use WPA to improve the security of data in transit






46. PDC






47. NLM






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