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.

2. IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer






3. EMI interference induced on one cable by signals traveling on a nearby cable






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






5. AH






6. A type of transmission in which the entire channel capacity of the communications medium (such as cable) is used by one data signal - enabling only one node to transmit at a time.






7. Provides FTP - HTTP - SMTP...






8. Style of data transmission in which the pulses that represent bits follow one another along a single transmission line; sequentially issued






9. As defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard - cabling that connects workstations and servers in the work area.






10. A device that can transmit and receive - such as transmitting and receiving signals on a communication cable






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






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






13. Frequency hoping spread spectrum: a signal jumps between several different frequencies

19. Capability for a component or system to continue functioning despite damage or malfunction






20. IPSec






21. Protocol data unit






22. Speed: 1000 Mbps - Alternative name: 1000BASE-LX - 1000BASE-SX - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3z - Cable Type: Fiber max length 550m (sx) - 5 km(lx)






23. Used to log on to a UNIX host






24. IEEE






25. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






26. Aka main cross-connect - first point of interconnection between an organization's LAN or WAN and a service provider's facility






27. 185 meters - 10Mbps






28. An arm of the Internet Society (ISOC) that works on Internet-relateed technical issues.






29. Not-for-profit agency that manages distribution of IP addresses; ARIN for Americas and Sub-Saharan Africa - APNIC for Asia-Pacific - RIPE for Europe and North Africa






30. Device that boosts - or strengthens - and analog signal






31. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






32. BRI






33. FTP - file transfer- control






34. These reside on a computer or appliance connected to network segment and monitor network traffic






35. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection






36. The process of checking a communication medium - such as cable - for a voltage level - signal transition - or light - indicating the presence of a data-carrying signal.






37. 12 digits - A-F/0-9






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






39. Unwanted signals from sources near network cabling - such as motors and power lines






40. Twisted pair patch cable in which the termination locations of the transmit and receive wires on one end of the cable are reversed






41. Similar to FTP. lets you transfer files between a host and an FTP server






42. CNAME






43. Prevents broadcast storms by enabling switches to calculate paths that avoid potential loops and artificially block the links that would complete a loop






44. Device used to regenerate a signal






45. (WIde area network) Carry networks longer distances than Lans






46. Fiber-optic cable used on a network backbone for high-speed communications - such as between floors of a building.






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. Initiates the communication link - Makes sure the communication link is maintained - Determines which node transmits at any point in time - such as which one transmits first - Disconnectd when a communication session is over - Translates node address






49. A computer (mainframe - minicomputer - server - or workstation) that has an operating system enabling multiple computers to access it at the same time for files - data - and services.
