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. A type of fiber optic connector. These connectors are square shaped and have release mechanisms to prevent the cable from accidentally being unplugged






2. 500 meters - 10Mbps






3. Tracks running and graphing data from any workstations. should ensure that new routers and switches can support it in order to easily automate network management






4. Is associated with unix/linux networks






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






6. A process that ensures one device does not send information faster than it can be received by another device.






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






8. A computer that provides client stations with access to files and printers as shared resources to a computer network






9. Every node on the network is connected through a central device like a switch - cannot be disabled by a single malfunction in a workstation - scalable - - popular - expensive - cable malfunction will only effect 2 workstations - more fault tolerant.






10. A service provided with Windows 98 - Me - 2000 - and 32-bit versions of XP operating systems that allows one computer - the ICS host - to share its Internet connection with other computers on the same network.






11. Type of interference that may be caused by motors - power lines - televisions - copiers - etc






12. A boundary between two zones of trust






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






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






15. Cabling that transmit data using light waves. Higher bandwidth than other types of cabling.






16. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






17. HTTPS - Secure implementation of HTTP






18. Metropolitan area network






19. Equivalent to OSI Layer 4 Transport






20. RJ 11






21. Set of protocols that specify how wireless networks works. Most common are currently B and G. N is an emerging standard.






22. Crimp into pins 1 and 2 of RJ 45 connector






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






24. Private connection from a LAN to an internet service provider.






25. Point or stage in a wave's progress over time






26. IANA






27. A process in which a digital signature is placed in a driver. The digital signature helps ensure that the driver is tested and is compatible with the operating system and device for which it is written.






28. Wall-mounted panel of data receptors into which cross-connect patch cables from the punch-down block are inserted






29. A network design consisting of a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point - and thus no terminators.






30. A very high speed - long distance media that consists of a single strand of fiber glass that carries the signals. Can transmit data 50 times further than multimode fiber at a faster rate






31. A transmitter concentrates the signal energy at a single frequency or in a very small range of frequencies






32. Describes the relative strength over a three dimensional area of an antenna






33. MAC address






34. 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.






35. Internet Layer






36. Is a TCP/IP service that converts a computer or domain name to an IP address or that converts an IP address to a computer or domain name.






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






38. Single mode fiber






39. AFP






40. A thin coaxial cable usually RG-58






41. A term used to refer to data within the Data-link layer of the OSI model.






42. The process of wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer. For example - Data Link layer protocols encapsulate Network layer packets in frames.






43. Equals a single pulse in the digital encoding system






44. Signals composed ot pulses that can have a value of only 1 or 0






45. Subgroup of EIA that focuses on standards for information technology - wireless - satellite - fiber optics - and telephone equipment; best known for network cable installation guidelines (TIA/EIA 568-B Series)






46. Used to resolve NetBIOS names w IP address






47. The process of enclosing data for transmission






48. PRI






49. Session Layer






50. What is the term used when every host on the network has a fixed IP address?
