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. Used to determine where patch cable for a specific server terminates on the patch panel - and checks for the presence of noise on a wire






2. Physical and Data Link layers






3. Total amount of communication cable that make up a network.






4. Four twisted wire pairs with three twists per foot. This type can handle transmissions up to 16 MHz. Now limited to telecommunication equipment






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






6. Signals travel in one direction






7. PPTP






8. Time Division Multiple Access






9. The process of determining the best path from Point A on one network to Point B on another






10. Different upload/download speeds.






11. Frequency division multiplexing






12. Connects multiple LANs






13. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basis without going through an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resources - suc






14. Facilities necessary for a service provider to connect with another organization LAN or WAN






15. Application Layer






16. Scrambles information into an alternative form that requires a key or password to decrypt the information.






17. Telnet






18. Twisted pair cable consisting of a number of twisted pairs of copper wire with a simple plastic casing. Because - no shielding is used in this cable - it is very susceptible to EMI - RFI - and other types of interference






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






20. Basic service set: a group of stations that share an access point






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






22. Accurate alarm events that do not pose significant threat to information security






23. An enclosed area - such as a false floor - or ceiling - in which pressure from air or gas can be greater than the pressure outside the enclosed area - particularly during a fire. Plenum area in buildings often extend to multiple rooms or extend throu






24. Small Form Plug-gables - Plugs in to an interface on a switch






25. Package for data that includes not only the data - or 'payload -' but also the sender's and recipient's addressing and control information. Generated at the Data Link layer and issued to the Physical layer






26. Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol






27. Regular voice-grade telephone service.






28. IEEE standard for token ring devices and data handling






29. Signals composed ot pulses that can have a value of only 1 or 0






30. Hardware address of the network interface card






31. Groups of workstations are star connect to connectivity devices and then networked via single bus - cover long distances - easy to interconnect - more expensive - ethernet






32. Representatives from electronics manufacturers across the US that sets standards for electronic equipment and lobbies for legislation favorable to the growth of the computer and electronics industries






33. A Data Link sublayer of the OSI model that initiates the communication link between nodes and ensures the link is not unintentionally broken.






34. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection






35. Media Access Unit (transmitter/ receiver)






36. Data circuit-terminating equipment. multiplexer or modem






37. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






38. A TCP/Ip troubleshooting utility that displays statistics and the state of current TCP/IP connections. It also displays ports - which can signal whether services are using the correct ports.






39. IDPS that compares sampled network activity to established baseline






40. 1000 representatives from industry and gov't who determine standards for electronics - chemical and nuclear engineering - health and safety - and construction






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






42. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






43. International Organization for Standardization






44. 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






45. Cross talk that occurs between wire pairs near the source of a signal






46. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






47. GPO






48. Which protocol allows users to send emails?






49. VPN






50. Can use WPA to improve the security of data in transit
