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. UN agency that regulates international telecommunications and provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment to advance their technological bases






2. A private computer network with resources accessible only to internal members.






3. Manages network communication - available on a CD-ROM for example - that is used to manage communications and how frames or packets are sent using a protocol.






4. Bootstrap Protocol






5. Source emits a RTS (request to send) signal to the access point - and the access point replies with CTS (clear to send) for the source to begin its transmission






6. Name Of Layer 3






7. Uses multiple frequencies to transmit signal






8. Application Layer






9. Strategy that combines the best of the other two strategies; while individual agents still analyze and respond to local threats - their reporting to a hierarchical central facility enables the organization to detect widespread attacks






10. FTP is an application that enables the transfer of data from one remote device to another - using TCP/IP






11. An advantage of networks






12. Different upload/download speeds.






13. Type of punch-down block used to terminate telephone circuits; does not meet Cat 5 or better standards






14. Zeroconf






15. Time Division Multiple Access






16. RJ 11






17. Core TCP/IP protocol that operates in the Network layer and provided information about how and where data should be delivered; subprotocol that enables TCP/IP to inernetwork






18. Four twisted wire pairs rated for 100 Mhz.






19. MSAU






20. Telecommunications industry association






21. GBIC






22. Style of data transmission in which the pulses that represent bits follow one another along a single transmission line; sequentially issued






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






24. Allows for secure interactive control of remote systems






25. Lowest or 1st layer; protocols generate and detect signals so as to transmit and receive data over a network medium - also set the data transmission rate and monitor data error rates - but do not provide error correction






26. More reliable then analog - noise doesn't affect as much - more efficient - fewer errors






27. Measure of strength






28. A computer (mainframe - minicomputer - server - or workstation) that has an operating system enabling multiple computers to access it at the same time for files - data - and services.






29. Data jack






30. Local area network






31. Signal interference caused by electrical devices that emit radio waves at the same frequency used by network signal transmissions.






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






33. A type of point-to-point digital WAN connection that uses standard phone lines to provide high-speed comm.






34. Manages IP address allocation and the domain name system






35. IDPS that examines network traffic in search of patterns that match known signatures






36. 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)






37. Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection






38. Signal interference caused by magnetic force field generated by electrical devices such as motors.






39. The pattern used to install a network medium






40. Binary values for each bit position






41. Communications cable that consists of one or more glass 0r plastic fiber cores inside a protective cladding material - covered by a plastic PVC outer jacket. Signal transmission along the inside fibers typically uses infrared light.






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






43. The wave splits into secondary waves






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






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






46. Method of data modulation in which the frequency of the carrier signal is modified by the application of the data signal






47. Pipeline used to contain and protect cabling; usually made from metal






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






49. Secure Shell






50. Process of retransmitting a digital signal; repeats the pure signal without the noise
