Comptia Network + Wireless

Instructions:
  • Answer 29 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. A protocol that combines the wireless authentication method with encryption






2. A wireless network that contains one or more access points (WAPs)






3. Any standard not fully developed and adopted as an official standards recognized by IEEE






4. The process of mixing a data signal with a carrier wave






5. Interference that matches the frequency of the carrier wave






6. A Bluetooth network






7. An electronic device that generates a carrier wave and modulates data signals into the carrier wave






8. An electromagnetic wave of a set frequency that is used to carry data






9. The process of separating a data signal from a carrier wave






10. The ability of an antenna to transmit electromagnetic signals in all directions






11. Electromagnetic waves with a frequency range of 10 kHz to 3 -000 -000 MHz






12. The bandwidth of a carrier wave






13. A standard developed to insure the safe exchange of data between a wireless network and a portable Wi-Fi device such as a cell phone






14. A wireless networking device that provides a connection between a wireless network and a cable-based network and controls the data flow of all packets on the wireless network






15. A spread spectrum technique that transmits data on multiple channels sequentially

25. A technology based on radio waves connecting to designated areas referred to as cells






26. Wireless network that does not contain a wireless access point (WAP)






27. An orbit in which a satellite's rotational speed is synchronized with the aearth's rotational speed - making the satellite appear to stay in the same position relative to the Earth






28. Refers to wireless network products used in the 802.11 category






29. An authentication protocol used on both wired and wireless systems
