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. ATM






2. Service data unit






3. Follow TIA/EIA 568 specifications






4. Sequences packets in correct order






5. Transport Layer






6. DC






7. PDC






8. Delay between the transmission of a signal and its receipt






9. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






10. Coordinates and maintains communications between two nodes on the network






11. A term used to refer to data within the Network layer of the OSI model.






12. SLIP






13. Packet one node sends to request a connection with another; 1st of three-step process of establishing a connection






14. Layer 7






15. 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






16. Routing protocol has the poorest convergence time






17. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






18. (fix) if analog an amplifier or if digital with repeater






19. 4th layer; protocols ensure that data are transferred from point A to point B reliably and without errors; services include flow control - acknowledgment - error correction - segmentation - reassembly - and sequencing






20. An authentication protocol that uses public key technology to provide users with secured access to network resources.






21. Individual insulated wire pairs - less expensive then STP - less resistant to noise






22. 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.






23. Attachment Unit Interface Cable equipped with 15 pin connectors






24. An IDPS that resides on particular computer or server (the host) and monitors activity only on that system. Also known as system integrity verifiers.






25. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






26. A private computer network with resources accessible only to internal members.






27. A generic term referring to any set of protocols and standards collected into a comprehensive grouping that - when followed by the devices in a network - allows all the devices to communicate. Examples include TCP/IP and OSI.






28. Public switched telephone network






29. Any device connected to a network - such as a microcomputer - mainframe - midrange computer - network equipment - or printer. Also called a station.






30. Decreasing the size of data units when moving data from a network that can handle larger units to one that can handle only smaller units






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






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






33. Cause by length - loss of signals as it travels farther away






34. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






35. Connects networks larger than a LAN - but smaller than a WAN






36. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and passes them on to other parts of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub.






37. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






38. Max size of data units on Ethernet networks






39. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stops. Absorbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end






40. Name Of Layer 7






41. All wires are reversed






42. Loop back address for IPv6






43. TFTP is a TCP/IP file transfer protocol that is designed for task such as the transfer of data to enable a diskless workstation to boot using files trasmitted from a server






44. SNMP






45. Transport layer protocol that requires the establishment of a connection between communicating nodes before it will transmit data






46. IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer






47. Receives a signal on one end - interprets it as 0 & 1 - then generates a new clean signal on the other end.






48. Internet group management protocol






49. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basic without going though an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-Peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resoures - such






50. A connector used to terminate coaxial cable used for transmitting television and broadband cable signals
