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. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection






2. Addresses packet size






3. Secure sockets layer-encyrpts TCP/IP transmission including web forms- en route b/w the client server using public key encryption technology






4. Layer 1






5. Data Link Layer






6. A data transmission rate






7. Type of interference that may be caused by motors - power lines - televisions - copiers - etc






8. The physical layout of the cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames and packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions






9. Follow TIA/EIA 568 specifications






10. A Data Link sublayer of the OSI model that initiates the communication link between nodes and ensures the link is not unintentionally broken.






11. Small network 192-223






12. A medium that carries 1 signal






13. A network whose access is restricted to only clients or machines with proper credentials.






14. Defines host IP in packet headers






15. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable in which the light-based signals follow uniform curved routes inside the cable - resulting in signals that all arrive at the same time and with less long-distance distortion than step-index cable.






16. A computer that provides client stations with access to files and printers as shared resources to a computer network






17. Satellite used for broadband internet access






18. SONET






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






20. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basis without going through an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resources - suc






21. A network that offers services to members of the public - such as network services offered by a telecommunications company or a cable TV company.






22. Data Link Layer






23. Name Of Layer 1






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






25. Power loss - the amount of signal that is lost as it travels though the communication medium from the source (transmitting node) to the receiving node.






26. Upper sublayer in the Data Link layer. Provides a common interface and supplies reliability and flow control services






27. Ethernet LAN-all forms of Ethernet media and interface






28. Restructuring data units that have been segmented






29. 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.






30. The medium that carries multiple signals simultaneously






31. Network cable that contains pairs of insulated wires that are twisted together and surrounded by a shielding material for added EMI and RFI protection - all inside a protective jacket.






32. Consists of single cable that connects all nodes on a network without intervening connectivity devices - inexpensive - hard to find source of error - not very fault tolerant - data is transmitted in one direction in the ring.






33. Translates data to a format the receiving node understands - such as from EBCDIC to ASCII - Performs data encryption - Performs data compression






34. Simple Network Management Protocol






35. Institute of electrical and electronics engineers






36. Logical link control






37. The act of hacking into a hacker's system to find out as much as possible about the hacker






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






39. T1






40. The physical layout of cable and wireless network devices and the logical path followed by network frames or packets sent on the cable or by wireless transmissions.






41. Refers to the IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standard for Ethernet communications speed up to 1 Gbps.






42. Public switched telephone network






43. BootP






44. Central component of a cable designed to carry a signal






45. Is a protocol designed for managing complex networks






46. Glass/plastic - light pulses high throughput - resistant to noise - most expensive cable






47. A Data Link sublayer that examines addressing information contained in a network frame and controls how devices share communications on the same network.






48. MX






49. Network Layer






50. Multicast group 224-239
