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.

34. A single computer that provides extensive multiuser access to network resources - such as shared files - shared disks - and shared printers.






35. Point to point protocol






36. Also called the star-bus hybrid topology - a network design that combines the logial comunications of a bus with the physical layout of a star.






37. Eight bits of information; in a digital signaling system - one byte carries one piece of information






38. A system of computers - print devices - network devices - and computer software linked by communications cabling or radio waves.






39. MSAU






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






41. Transforms data into a form network or applications will understand






42. In TCP - a term used to describe a TCP header and its encapsulated data (also called an L4PDU). Also in TCP - the process of accepting a large chunk of data from the application layer and breaking it into smaller pieces that fit into TCP segments. In
