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.

12. A system of computers - print devices - network devices - and computer software linked by communications cabling or radio waves.






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






14. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






15. A data link protocol used for remote networking that is rarely used today.






16. Transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery data






17. IANA






18. Pulses of precise - positive voltages and zero voltages (binary)






19. LPR






20. Layer 5 through 7 Troubleshooting






21. IEEE standard for wireless networking






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






23. Layer 2






24. What is an agreed set of rules that two parties agree on in order to communicate with each other commanly known as?






25. An IP addressing convention that adheres to network class distinctions - in which the first 8 bits of a Class A address - the first 16 bits of a Class B address - and the first 24 bits of a Class C address are used for network Information






26. Where demarc is located if an organization follows structured cabling standards






27. A term referring to a data-link header and trailer - plus the data encapsulated between the header and trailer.






28. QoS






29. A protocol data unit that has been transfered between OSI layers and then stripped of control information and transfere instructions.






30. Application Layer






31. GBIC






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