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. Signal that uses variable voltage to create continuous waves - resulting in an inexact transmission






2. A fixed number associated with a device's NIC






3. Application Layer






4. The <html> - <head> and <body> tags are all examples of ________ tags






5. A unit of data formatted for transmission over a network that contains control and other information that corresponds to the OSI Networklayer; also called Layer 3.






6. The fact that wireless signals follow a number of paths to their destination






7. Bootstrap Protocol






8. Frequency modulation-frequency of signal is modified






9. Layer 2 Troubleshooting






10. Data jack






11. Twisted pair patch cable in which the termination locations of the transmit and receive wires on one end of the cable are reversed






12. A data communications technique that transmits a packet directly from the sending node - though a switch - and to the receiving node - without passing though other network nodes.






13. Also called coax - a network cable medium that consists of a copper core - surrounded by insulation.






14. PRI






15. A network owned and maintained by an organization -such as a campus network operated by a college.






16. A type of transmission in which there are several transmission channels on a communications medium - allowing more than one node to transmit at the same time.






17. Medium network 128-191






18. The cableing or radio waves used to connect one network computer to another - or one network to another - and transport data between them.






19. Signals travel both directions simultaneously






20. ISM






21. Process by which attacker changes the format and/or timing of their activities to avoid being detected by the IDPS






22. Software that enables a computer to communicate with devices such as NICs - printers - monitors - and hard disk drives.






23. Max size of data units on Ethernet networks






24. SSH






25. The capacity to send and receive signals at the same time on the same medium.






26. Metropolitan area network






27. A network transport control method used in Ethernet networks. It regulates transmission by sensing the presence of packet collisions.






28. Method of error checking that determines if the contents of an arriving data unit match the contents of the data unit sent by the source






29. Provides Internet access and/or other services such as email and Web hosting






30. Communications for continuous burst of data controlled by a clock signal that starts each burst.






31. Rules determining the format and transmission of data






32. RJ 45






33. Is used to allow searching and updating of a directory service






34. Value placed upon an IDPS's ability to detect/identify certain attacks correctly






35. Serves as a translator; manages data encryption






36. The way nodes responds to a collision






37. IDPS that reviews log files from servers - network devices - and other IDPSs for signatures indicating an attack or intrusion






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






39. Signals traveling on one wire infringes on the signal traveling over an adjacent wire






40. Application that will allow you to configure the workstation to tally these errors and send you and email message every time a problem occured






41. Traces path from one network node to another - identifying all intermediate hops b/w two nodes






42. Logical link control






43. Basic error correction and detection






44. Ensures that messages being transmitted on the internet are private and tamper proof






45. IDPS that compares sampled network activity to established baseline






46. 192-223






47. Layer 6






48. 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 stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t






49. The wave splits into secondary waves






50. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.
