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






2. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






3. Data Link Layer






4. Device that separates multiplexed signals once they are received and regenerates them in their original form






5. Supplying electrical power through ethernet






6. Secures messages being transmitted on the internet - uses RSA for authentication and encyption.






7. Physical Layer






8. A term used to refer to data within the Data-link layer of the OSI model.






9. A cable that consists of a single cable sheath containing a combination of fibers and copper cable.






10. Which layer in the OSI network model is responsible for providing a set of interfaces for applications to obtain access to networked services?






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






12. A protocol that runs in the Dession and Transport layers of the OSI model and associates NetBIOS names with workstations. NetBIOS alone is not routable because it does not contain Network Layer information. However - when encapsulated in another prot






13. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable that reflects the light-based signals like a mirror within the cable - resulting in different signals arriving at different times and with an increased likeihood of distortion over longer cable runs.






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






15. Packet






16. Area above the ceiling tile or below the subfloor in a building






17. Physical layer standard for serial communications






18. Station transmits a probe that is then replied by the access point






19. Manually specify on each workstation so that their users can pick up their internet email from the linux email server






20. An established guidline that specifies how networked data is formatted into packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.






21. IMAP4






22. IKE






23. Packet internet groper






24. Assigning a placeholder to each piece of a block of data to allow the receiving node's Transport layer to reassemble the data in the correct order






25. Extent to which a signal has weakened after traveling a given distance






26. Cabling that transmit data using light waves. Higher bandwidth than other types of cabling.






27. Failure of an IDPS to react to an actual attack event






28. Amplitude - frequency (Hz) - wavelength - wavy line






29. A unit of data transmitted on a network that contains control and address information corresponding to the OSI Data Link layer - or Layer 2.






30. MIB






31. 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.






32. A drawback of certification






33. Routing protocol has the poorest convergence time






34. Process of retransmitting a digital signal; repeats the pure signal without the noise






35. A process that ensures one device does not send information faster than it can be received by another device.






36. F type (like TV cable) or BNC (crimped)






37. A switchhing method that creates separte channels on one communication medium by establishing different frequencies for each channel.






38. Not individually insulated but shielded. use when there is noise.






39. Distance between corresponding points on cycle






40. IP






41. OSPF






42. Minimum cabling standard for PoE






43. Measure of strength






44. This phase determines how often systems should send each other quality statistics.






45. Method of error checking that determines if the contents of an arriving data unit match the contents of the data unit sent by the source






46. A type of interference that occurs when two LAN cables run close to each other. If one cable is carrying a signal and the other isn't - the one carrying a signal will induce a 'ghost' signal in the other cable






47. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






48. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






49. Reflection in multiple different directions of a signal






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