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. The ability to send or receive signals on a medium - but not at the same time.






2. Method of trasmitting data from a satellite






3. Device that enables networks or segments using different media to interconnect and exchange signals






4. IKE






5. Specify clients configurations to adhere to this subnet






6. Routers work here






7. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.






8. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver






9. A shell protocol that enables systems to use various authenticaion mechanisms.






10. Physical Layer






11. PPTP






12. Brief delay in processing - length of cable can contribute to this






13. Single mode fiber






14. Form of transmission in which signals are modulated as radiofrequency analog pulses with different frequency ranges; does not involve binary coding






15. Network segment that contains end nodes - such as workstations






16. String used to identify an access point - configure on your new access points to match the settings on existing access points






17. Is a secure form of HTTP






18. Upper sublayer in the Data Link layer. Provides a common interface and supplies reliability and flow control services






19. A device that must be located at each end of a leased line.






20. Transport Layer






21. Faster wireless standard 20-25






22. International Organization for Standardization






23. Signals travel in both directions but only one at a time






24. Http - Hypertext transfer protocol






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






26. Extended service set: a group of access points






27. A single physical/non-physical medium for connecting computers






28. A frame (or packet) sent to all nodes on the network.






29. The _____________ allows computers to 'talk' to themselves on a different port.






30. Used to determine where patch cable for a specific server terminates on the patch panel - and checks for the presence of noise on a wire






31. RADIUS






32. CSMA / CD






33. Standards organizations representing 157 countries headquartered in Geneva. Goal is to establish international standards to facilitate global exchange of information and barrier-free trade






34. WAN transmission technologies that contains a segment that relied on 10GBase-EW standard






35. Doesn't use frame headers - uses cells






36. Physical layer standard for serial communications






37. IEEE standard for broadband wireless in MAN (WiMAX)






38. Physical layer. 10 mpbs throughput. baseband transmission. max length is 100 meters. follows 5-4-3 rule. star topology. cat 3 or higher utp. twisted pair.






39. The action of luring an individual into committing a crime.






40. IEEE standard for error and flow control in data frames






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






42. Each computer is connected to a central device






43. Wireless standard






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






45. Functions at the network layer that add logical addresses and properly route data






46. Divides channel into different time slots and assigns data to nodes who are attached to time slots






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






48. EMI interference induced on one cable by signals traveling on a nearby cable






49. Virtually local area network-device-switch






50. Uses light to communicate a signal; the light is dispersed on numerous paths as it travels through the core and is reflected back. Provides high bandwidth at high speeds over medium distances up to about 3000 feet
