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. CRAM-MD5






2. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet genation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.






3. ICMP






4. Restructuring data units that have been segmented






5. Type of transmission in which signlas may travel in both directions over a medium - but only in one direction at a time






6. Hardware device located at the ISP side of ADSL connections.






7. Internet protocol security-defines encryption - authentication - and key management for TCP/IP transmission






8. Provides strung security for HTTP- transpored information - but it is only used by some vendor's application






9. Provides Internet access and/or other services such as email and Web hosting






10. Standard analog telephone system






11. A private network that functions like a tunnel through a larger network






12. Software that is stored on a chip in a device - such as in a ROM - and that typically composes some type of system software






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






14. An international organization of scientists - engineers - technicians - and educators that plays a leading role in developing standards for network cabling and data transmissions.






15. Open Systems Interconnection model is standard description or reference model for how messages should be transmitted between any 2 points in a telecommunications network.






16. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable that reflects the light-based signals like a mirror within the cable - resulting in different signals arriving at different times and with an increased likeihood of distortion over longer cable runs.






17. Pieces of hardware that connect the wire to the network device






18. Manages IP address allocation and the domain name system






19. Assigning a unique frequency band to each communication






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. PAP






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






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






24. Packet internet groper

26. Long reach. multimode max length is 550 meters. single mode max length is 5000. 1000 mpbs. baseband transmission






27. FDDI






28. 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






29. MDI






30. Provides FTP - HTTP - SMTP...






31. Transport Layer






32. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.

37. NNTP






38. A wireless station listens on all channels for a bacon frame from an access point






39. 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






40. LDAP






41. Useful for troubleshooting a network connectivity problem from workstation to another workstation






42. Integrated digital network






43. Wireless standard






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






45. Form of transmission in which signals are modulated as radiofrequency analog pulses with different frequency ranges; does not involve binary coding






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






47. Is a challenge respone authentication protocol






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