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. Services that allow remote users to connect to the network






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






3. Receives a signal on one end - interprets it as 0 & 1 - then generates a new clean signal on the other end.






4. Signal that uses variable voltage to create continuous waves - resulting in an inexact transmission






5. Direct-sequence spread spectrum: signal bits are distributed over a frequency band






6. Point to point protocol






7. Used with single mode or multi mode fiber optic cable






8. The capacity to send and receive signals at the same time on the same medium.






9. IEEE standard for broadband wireless in MAN (WiMAX)






10. IRC






11. Gives each node unique address






12. A fiber-optic data transport method capable of a 100-Mbps transfer rate using a dual ring topology; largely supplanted today by faster Ethernet method.






13. Multiplexing technique use over single-mode or multimode fiber-optic cable in which each signal is assigned a different wavelength for its carrier wave; little space exists between carrier waves






14. Hub/repeaters






15. 1000 representatives from industry and gov't who determine standards for electronics - chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction

25. Signals travel in one direction






26. The distinct units of data that are exchanged between nodes on a network






27. FTP - file transfer- control






28. Name Of Layer 2






29. Asynchronous digital subscriber line. Method of providing internet service that uses the standard phone line - but transmits data at a different frequency than voice. Faster than ISDN.






30. 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






31. The general topic of how on one computer - two adjacent layers in a networking architectural model work together - with the lower layer proving services to the higher layer.

36. A set of routines that make up part of a software application






37. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz - but capable of handling the disturbance on eash pair that's caused by transmitting on all four pairs at the same time.






38. Encompasses actions an organization takes when intrusion is detected






39. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz.






40. GPO






41. Activities finalize restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify source and method of intrusion to ensure same type of attack cannot occur again






42. The wave splits into secondary waves






43. A network design in which every node is connected to every other note - achieving fault tolerance.






44. IEEE standard describing specifications for wireless transmissions






45. Cyclic redundancy check






46. Data Link sublayer that manages flow control






47. Describes a theoretical representation of what happens between two nodes communicating on a network






48. Network File System






49. A computer (mainframe - minicomputer - server - or workstation) that has an operating system enabling multiple computers to access it at the same time for files - data - and services.






50. 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
