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.

13. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






14. Packet internet groper






15. Digital - one signal one channel at a time (half duplexing) ex. ethernet






16. Refers to the IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab standard for Ethernet communications speed up to 1 Gbps.






17. Voltage is varied and imprecise - more susceptible






18. Panel of data receptors into which twisted pair wire is inserted to complete a circuit






19. Process in which an NIDPS inspects the higher-order protocols (HTTP - FTP - Telnet) are examined for unexpected packet behavior or improper use






20. A data encryption technique employed between a server and a client - such as between a client's browser and an Internet server.






21. 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






22. Device that separates broadcast domain






23. A combination of LAN's - MAN's - or WAN's that provides computer users with an array of computer and network resources to complete different tasks.






24. Integrated digital network






25. A type of transmission in which the entire channel capacity of the communications medium (such as cable) is used by one data signal - enabling only one node to transmit at a time.






26. Electronics industries Alliance






27. CSMA / CD






28. IEEE standard for wireless networking






29. Allows an attached computer to act as a dumb terminal - with data processing taking place on the TCP/IP host computer






30. Transport Layer






31. Allows clients to communicate in different floors






32. Unwanted signals from sources near network cabling - such as motors and power lines






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






34. Data Link Layer






35. A connecting device for a network that accepts messages and forwards them to the correct section of the network. Generally more intelligent than a hub and a switch.






36. Which layer is responsible for putting data into frames as well as providing error checking data?






37. After typing ping 127.0.0.1 - it tells you the test failed

39. Hub/repeaters






40. Not individually insulated but shielded. use when there is noise.






41. A boundary between two zones of trust






42. The transmission capacity of a communications medium - which is typically measured in bits per second (for data transmissions) or hertz (for data - voice - and video transmissions) - and which is determined by the maximum minus the minimum transmissi






43. Local area network






44. Hackers sending emails to make it look like its legit and its actually dangerous to the workstation






45. Pointing in a direction






46. NAT






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






48. Data terminal equipment - little independent data processing capability. ex. workstation






49. GSNW
