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. Begins when a system that initiated the connection transmits a PPP frame.






2. Modulates digital into analog in transmitting end and demodulates analog into digital in recieving end






3. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






4. Integrated digital network






5. Similar to bus topology - but the ends are connected






6. Any end device on the network (for example: computers - printers - copy machines...)






7. Electromagnetic interference. waves from electrical devices. ex. RFI






8. MAC Protocols






9. A term referring to a data-link header and trailer - plus the data encapsulated between the header and trailer.






10. Two twisted wire pairs. It's the oldes type and is only voice grade - it isn't rated for data communication.






11. IEEE






12. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






13. The NIC and network equipment are set up so they cannot send and receive at the same time






14. Service that supports email






15. Encompasses actions an organization takes when intrusion is detected






16. T1






17. The action of luring an individual into committing a crime.






18. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






19. A remote connection where the client computer is a low-end computer that communicates with a terminal server.






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






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






22. Standards organizations representing 157 countries headquartered in Geneva. Goal is to establish international standards to facilitate global exchange of information and barrier-free trade






23. Protocol that encapsulates data for transmission over VPNs






24. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?






25. Provides th transfer medium (such as cable) - Translates data into a transmission signal appropriate to the transfer medium - Sends the signal along the transfer medium - Includes the pyical layout of the network - Monitors for transmission error - D






26. Point or stage in a wave's progress over time






27. A generic term for data being transmitted






28. Connectivity device - data link layer (2) - reads header info to forward packets according to MAC addresses






29. A combination of techniques used to detect an intrusion and then to trace it back to its source






30. International telecommunication Union






31. Max number of hops a packet can take b/w its source and destination using RIP on a LAN






32. ICA






33. ADSL






34. Device that separates multiplexed signals once they are received and regenerates them in their original form






35. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






36. Which layer in the OSI network model handles data format information for networked communications?






37. Brief delay in processing - length of cable can contribute to this






38. Interference that may be generated by broadcast signals from radio or TV towers






39. The more resistant to cross talk (STP)






40. A transmitter concentrates the signal energy at a single frequency or in a very small range of frequencies






41. IMAP4






42. Data circuit-terminating equipment. multiplexer or modem






43. Application Layer






44. Electromagnetic interference






45. A technique in which IP address used on a private network are assigned a public IP address by a gateway when accessing a public network.






46. NFS






47. FDDI






48. Data Link Layer






49. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






50. 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
