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. A service used via the Application layer to recognize and access other layers






2. Used to log on to a UNIX host






3. Modulation technique in which the amplitude of the carrier signal is modified by the application of a data signal






4. Process of grouping almost identical alarms occurring at almost same time into single higher-level alarm






5. Physical layout of a star topology and also ring logical topology






6. Application Layer

11. Internet Layer






12. International telecommunication Union






13. Signals traveling on one wire infringes on the signal traveling over an adjacent wire






14. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.






15. The scheme for assigning a unique identifying number to every node on a network






16. The shorter the wavelength






17. Physical and Data Link layers






18. Internet corporation for assigned names and numbers






19. Set of routines that make up part of a software application






20. Network Layer






21. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






22. A standard for encoding and interpreting binary files - images - video - and non-ASCII character sets within an e-mail message.






23. An Application layer protocol used to retrieve messages from a mail server. When a client retrieves mail via POP - messages previously stored on the mail server are downloaded to the client's workstation - and then deleted from the mail server.






24. This phase begins and end a PPP session.






25. PPP






26. A network that links multiple LAN's in large city or metropolitan region.






27. Network interface card






28. A technique for transmitting data over a network by encapsulating it within another protocol.






29. Distinct communication path between two or more nodes; may be separated logically or physically






30. A TCP/IP troubleshooting utility that uses ICMP to trace the path from one networked node to another - identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes. Traceroute is useful for determining router or subnet connectivity problems. On Windows-ba






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






32. MAC address






33. Security measure verifies that your user name and password are contained in the NOS directory






34. Type of multiplexing that assigns a unique frequncy band to each communications subchannel






35. Distance between corresponding points on cycle






36. A series of interconnected computers - printing devices - and other computer equipment that share hardware and software resources. The services area usually is limited to a given office - floor - or building.






37. Subgroup of EIA that focuses on standards for information technology - wireless - satellite - fiber optics - and telephone equipment; best known for network cable installation guidelines (TIA/EIA 568-B Series)






38. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified






39. Change in signal strength as a result of reflection - scattering - or diffraction






40. Requires CSU/DSU-the connection point for a t1 live at customers site






41. Speed: 1000 Mbps - Altenative name: 1000BASE-T - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3ab - Cable type: copper max length 100m






42. Serial internet protocol






43. Tracks running and graphing data from any workstations. should ensure that new routers and switches can support it in order to easily automate network management






44. POP3 - post office protocol 3






45. Hard-to-define skills such as dependability






46. OTDR






47. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






48. LPD






49. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






50. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.
