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






2. Point of division between a telecommunications service carrier's network and a building's internal network






3. SNMP






4. Constructs data frames using the appropriate format for the network - reatea CRC information - Checks for errors using CRC information - Retransmits data if there is error - Initiates the communications link and makes sure it is not interrupted - thu






5. PAP






6. Equivalent to OSI Layer 4 Transport






7. A Data Link sublayer of the OSI model that initiates the communication link between nodes and ensures the link is not unintentionally broken.






8. Signals travel both directions simultaneously






9. A technique for connecting to a network at a remote location using Internet as the medium.






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






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. The organized research of the Internet addresses owned or controlled by a target organization.






13. Most resistant to EMI






14. Network standard that can reliaby transmit data farthest






15. A type of transmission that can vary continuously - as in a wave pattern with positive and negative voltage levels.






16. Translates data to a format the receiving node understands - such as from EBCDIC to ASCII - Performs data encryption - Performs data compression






17. International telecommunication Union






18. A logical process of combining bits. In ANDing - a bit with a value of 1 plus another bit with a value of 1 results in a 1. A bit with a value of 0 plus any other bit results in a 0.






19. A logical communication path established by the OSI Network layer for sending and receiving data.






20. 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






21. POP3






22. Type of switching for multiple data packets make up the same transmission and use identical paths to reach the destination






23. Open source program that allows you too remotely take over another workstation and walk through support process






24. A network topology in which all of the nodes are connected to a central line or bus






25. OSPF






26. Which protocol allows the transfer of a file from one computer to another over the network?






27. Data Link Layer






28. The process of determining the best path from Point A on one network to Point B on another






29. Trivial File Transfer Protocol






30. Routing protocol most likely used to replace a router for that handles traffic to and from the companies connection to its NSP






31. A TCP/IP utility that at its simplest returns either to IP address of a host if its host name is specified or its host name if its IP address is specified






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






33. Loop back address for IPv6






34. Which protocol allows users to recieve emails?






35. Layer 1 Troubleshooting






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






37. 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






38. 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.






39. What type of browser is designed for use on small handheld devices such as palmtop computers and iPhones?






40. The act of hacking into a hacker's system to find out as much as possible about the hacker






41. Transport Layer






42. Using part of a leased line






43. Physical Layer






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






45. Security measure verifies that your user name and password are contained in the NOS directory






46. Ppp tunneling protocol






47. Direct-sequence spread spectrum: signal bits are distributed over a frequency band






48. A logical grouping of information that includes the network layer header and encapsulated data - but specifically does not include any headers and trailers below the network layer.






49. Where demarc is located if an organization follows structured cabling standards






50. The process of checking a communication medium - such as cable - for a voltage level - signal transition - or light - indicating the presence of a data-carrying signal.
