Practice Test: Question Set - 05
1. The Token-Ring architecture was developed for a more efficient way to determine who should be transmitting at any one time. With Ethernet, collisions may take place, causing the transmitting computers to have to retransmit their data. The use of token guarantees that only one computer can transmit at a time. What happens as the network increases in size? Choose the best answer
- (A) An
additional token is added for every 1,000 nodes
- (B) The
speed of the Token-Ring network must be 16Mbps if the number of nodes is
greater than 500
- (C) The network
becomes less efficient
- (D) The network
becomes more efficient
2. The area of coverage of a satellite radio beam is known as
- (A) Footprint
- (B) Circular
polarization
- (C) Beam width
- (D) Identity
3. Examples are packet switching using frame relay, and cell switching using ATM technologies. Select the best fit for answer:
- (A) Bandwidth
alternatives
- (B) Switching
alternating
- (C) Inter
organizational networks
- (D) Extranets
4. The channel in the data communication model can be
- (A) Postal mail
service
- (B) Telephone
lines
- (C) Radio
signals
- (D) All of the
above
5. Ethernet networks can be cabled in a number of topologies, depending on what works best in each environment. As more nodes are added, the efficiency of Ethernet decreases. Select the best answer as to why Ethernet becomes less efficient as size increases.
- (A) Network
collisions occur
- (B) Repeaters
cannot increase the signal strength sufficiently
- (C) Cable
terminators do not reflect the signal properly
- (D) Cable
terminators do not absorb the signal properly
6. Messages from one computer terminal can be sent to another by using data networks. The message to be sent is converted to an electronic digital signal, transmitted via a cable, telephone or satellite and then converted back again at the receiving end. What is this system of sending messages called?
- (A) Paperless
office
- (B) Electronic
mail
- (C) Global
network
- (D) Electronic newspaper
7. Repeaters are often used on an 802.3 network to help strengthen the signals being transmitted. As with the length of segments and the number of segments, a limit exists as to how many repeaters can be used between any two nodes. What is the maximum number of repeaters that can be used?
- (A) Five
- (B) Two
- (C) Four
- (D) Six
8. Which of the following communications lines is best suited to interactive processing applications?
- (A) Narrowband
channels
- (B) Simplex lines
- (C) Full-duplex
lines
- (D) Mixed band
channels
9. Communication network is
- (A) One
or more conductors that serve as a common connection for a related group of
devices
- (B) A
continuous frequency capable of being modulated or impressed with a second
signal
- (C) The
condition with two or more stations attempt to use the same channel at the same
time
- (D) A
collection of interconnected functional units that provides a data
communications service among stations attached to the network
10. What is the term used to describe addresses available on a DHCP server?
- (A) Pools
- (B) Scopes
- (C) Ranges

- (A) Compartment
- (B) Time-shared
program
- (C) Divided core
- (D) Partition
12. Which of the following is the address of the router?
- (A) The IP
address
- (B) The TCP
address
- (C) The subnet
mask
- (D) The default
gateway
13. A protocol is a set of rules governing a time sequence of events that must take place
- (A) Between
peers
- (B) Between
modems
- (C) Between an
interface
- (D) Across an
interface
14. Now-a-days computers all over the world can talk to each other. Which is one of the special accessories essential for this purpose?
- (A) Keyboard
- (B) Modem
- (C) Scanner
- (D) Fax
