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.

6. RJ 45






7. Network cable that contains pairs of insulated wires that are twisted together and surrounded by a shielding material for added EMI and RFI protection - all inside a protective jacket.






8. Constructs data frames using the appropriate format for the network - reatea CRC information - Checks for errors using CRC information - Retransmits data if there is error - Initiates the communications link and makes sure it is not interrupted - thu






9. Power loss - the amount of signal that is lost as it travels though the communication medium from the source (transmitting node) to the receiving node.






10. A situation in which two or more packets are detected at the same time on an Ethernet network.






11. End-user device - such as a workstation - terminal - or console






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






13. Experimentation 240-255






14. A command-line utility that combines the functionality of the tracert and ping commands (similar to UNIX's mtr command) and comes with Windows XP - Vista - and Windows Server 2003 and Server 2008






15. 1-126






16. Type of protocol useful when data must be transferred quickly






17. Multiple physical/non-physical mediums for connecting computers






18. Transport Layer






19. Network device that makes high-level application connections on behalf of internal hosts and other machines






20. Type of transmission in which signals may travel in both directions over a medium simultaneously; also called duplex






21. Nondata info that must accompany data for it to be properly routed. addition to data






22. The number of times a signal's amplitude changes over a fixed period of time - expressed in cycles per second - Hz






23. Maximum arc into which you can loop a cable before you will cause data transmission errors






24. An international body that establishes communications and networking standards - and that is particularly known for its contributions to network protocol standards.






25. Physical layer. 1 gpbs throughput. baseband transmission. max length is 100 meters. cat 5e or higher utp. twisted pair.






26. An advantage of networks






27. Amplitude modulation-amplitude of signal is modified






28. Transforms data into a form network or applications will understand






29. Associates a MAC address with a given IP address - reverse ARP

31. Connection for data exchange between two parties






32. Is a method for automatically assigning address and other configuration parameters to network hosts.






33. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.






34. The way nodes responds to a collision






35. IEEE standard for wireless networking






36. Digital subscriber line- support multiple data and voice channels over a single line - extraordinary throughput though telephone lines






37. A type of multimode fiber-optic cable in which the light-based signals follow uniform curved routes inside the cable - resulting in signals that all arrive at the same time and with less long-distance distortion than step-index cable.






38. Is a system that is distributed throughout the internetwork to provide address/name resolution.






39. International telecommunication Union
