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.

7. The distinct units of data that are exchanged between nodes on a network






8. Asynchronous digital subscriber line. Method of providing internet service that uses the standard phone line - but transmits data at a different frequency than voice. Faster than ISDN.






9. A remote connection where the client computer is a low-end computer that communicates with a terminal server.






10. Describes a theoretical representation of what happens between two nodes communicating on a network






11. Routes packets through network

22. Error detection and correction






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






24. Direct-sequence spread spectrum: signal bits are distributed over a frequency band






25. A computer that accesses another computer - such as a workstation that accesses a shared file on another workstation - server - or mainframe. The client may use the accessed computer (host) to process data - or may process accessed data using its own






26. A TCP/IP utility used to show or modify a client's host name.
