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. Multiple physical/non-physical mediums for connecting computers






2. Medium network 128-191






3. DSU






4. The process of connecting to a wireless network






5. Open System Interconnection






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






7. International telecommunication Union






8. Service data unit






9. Service that supports email






10. The process of attracting attention to a system by placing tantalizing information in key locations.






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






12. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






13. Services that handle hardware diagnoses and failure alerts






14. Application Layer






15. A transport system that uses the CSMA/CD access method for data transmission on a network. Typically it is implemented in a bus or star-bus hybrid topology.






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






17. NTP - network time protocol






18. A type of transmission in which there are several transmission channels on a communications medium - allowing more than one node to transmit at the same time.






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






20. Protocol data unit. An OSI term to refer generically to a grouping of information by a particular layer of the OSI model. More specifically - an LxPDU would imply the data and headers as defined by Layer x.






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






22. Physical Layer






23. 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






24. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






25. Telephone jacks






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






27. IDPS that uses profiles to detect anomalous protocol behavior






28. Security for https://






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






30. Feeding everybody in building






31. Application Layer






32. Method of data modulation in which the frequency of the carrier signal is modified by the application of the data signal






33. Techniques that employ hardware and software to provide assurance against equipment failures - computer service interruptions - and data loss.






34. CSU






35. Hard-to-define skills such as dependability






36. A TCP/IP utility that allows you to look up the DNS host name of a network node by specifying its IP address - or vice versa. This is useful for verifying that a hos is configured correctly and for troubleshooting DNS resolution problems






37. The IEEE standard for broadband wireless metropolitan area networking (also known as WiMax)






38. NLM






39. BERT






40. Device that modulates analog signals into digital signals for transmission over telephone lines - and demodulates digital signals into analog for the receiving end






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






42. Amount of data that can be transmitted over media or wireless at a time.






43. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






44. NIS






45. Speed: 10 Mbps - Alternative Name: 10BASE-T - IEEE Standard: IEEE 802.3 - Cable Type: Copper - max length 100 meters






46. Device that processes signals; multiplexer or modem






47. Addresses packet size






48. The shorter the wavelength






49. Equivalent to OSI Layer 7 Application - Layer 6 Presentation - Layer 5 Session






50. Functions at the network layer that add logical addresses and properly route data
