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. Degradation of a light signal on a fiber-optic network






2. The means through which data is transmitted and received






3. Internet Layer






4. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






5. The most commonly used form of Internet Message Access Protocol.






6. HTTPS - Secure implementation of HTTP






7. Open Systems Interconnection model






8. LPR






9. Guarantees that a server continually has power even if a buildings electrical service is interrupted - continuous voltage to a device by switching virtually instantaneously to the battery when it detects loss of power






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






11. A type of address translation in which each private IP address is correlated with its own Internet-recognized IP address.






12. Software that enables a computer to communicate with devices such as NICs - printers - monitors - and hard disk drives.






13. PDC






14. Allows clients to communicate in different floors






15. Standard rating that indicates the diameter of a wire

17. International telecommunication Union






18. Documented agreement containing technical specifications or other precise criteria used as guidelines to ensure that materials - products - processes - and services suit their intended purpose






19. A group of two or more computer systems linked together.






20. An IP addressing and subnetting method in which network and host information is manipulated without adhering to the limitations imposed by traditional network class distinctions. CIDR is also known as classless routing or supernetting. Older routing






21. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






22. On a computer that receives data over a network - the process in which the device interprets the lower-layer headers and - when finished with each header - removes the header - revealing the next-higher-layer PDU.






23. Services that handle hardware diagnoses and failure alerts






24. Data Link Layer






25. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals






26. The IEEE standard for Ethernet networking devices and data handling (using the CSMA/CD access method)






27. Unshielded twisted pair






28. Firewall packet inspection that examines the data contained in a packet as well as the state of the connection between internal and external computers.






29. Junction point between the MDF and concentrations of fewer connections; those that terminate in a telecommunications closet






30. A app. loaded on a server included with Windows OS that enables remote access






31. BDC






32. Fiber optic - enables one fiber optic connection to carry multiple light signals simultaneously






33. An adapter board designed to connect a workstation - server - or other network device to a network medium.






34. Response generated atTransport layer confirming to sender that its frame was received; 3rd step in establishing a connection






35. Network layer service that subdivides segments it receives from the Transport layer into smaller packets






36. Wavelength division multiplexing






37. Algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame






38. Network time protocol






39. A logical communication path established by the OSI Network layer for sending and receiving data.






40. Device that acts as a wireless switch so that nodes can connect wirelessly to a network.






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






42. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.






43. SCP






44. LC - ST - SC - or MT RJ






45. DNS - Domain name system






46. Layer 2






47. Physical Layer






48. SMTP - simple mail transfer protocol






49. 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.






50. OU
