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 medium that carries 1 signal






2. A computer that has its own CPU and may be used as a stand-alone computer for word processing - spreadsheet genation - or other software applications. It also may be used to access another computer such as another workstation or server via a network.






3. The most popular type of network for medium- and large-scale organizations






4. (local area network) network of computers and others that is confined to a relatively small space






5. Metropolitan area network

7. 192-223






8. Theoretical. difference b/w highest and lowest frequency.






9. Which address is split in to four 8-bit parts called octets?

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






12. IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer of the data link layer






13. Network File System






14. Layer 3 Troubleshooting






15. Maximum arc into which you can loop a cable before you will cause data transmission errors






16. IEEE standard for Ethernet devices and data handling






17. Example of an internetwork






18. 185 meters - 10Mbps






19. ACL






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






21. Data jack






22. Network Layer






23. Data circuit-terminating equipment. multiplexer or modem






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






25. Voltage is varied and imprecise - more susceptible






26. Is a method for automatically assigning address and other configuration parameters to network hosts.






27. An International organization of scientists - engineers - technicians - and educators that play a leading role in developing standards for network cabling and data transmissions.






28. 12-character string that uniquely identifies a network node - hard coded into the NIC by the manufacturer; composed ot the block ID and device ID






29. Routes packets through network






30. Hardware device located at the ISP side of ADSL connections.






31. A generic term referring to any set of protocols and standards collected into a comprehensive grouping that - when followed by the devices in a network - allows all the devices to communicate. Examples include TCP/IP and OSI.






32. Process in which an NIDPS look for invalid data packets - packets that are malformed under the rules of the TCP/IP protocol






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






34. NIDPS system that examines network traffic in order to identify problems related to the flow of traffic. Most sensors are passive mode deployment only.






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






36. Authentication prtocol that does not issue a challenge or require 3rd party verification of the computer requestiing authentication






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






38. FM






39. Controls how applications access network






40. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






41. Coordinates and maintains communications between two nodes on the network






42. Layer 1






43. Shielded twisted pair






44. An IP addressing convention that adheres to network class distinctions - in which the first 8 bits of a Class A address - the first 16 bits of a Class B address - and the first 24 bits of a Class C address are used for network Information






45. BootP






46. 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.

49. Signals on bus that would travel endlessly between two nodes






50. 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.
