Exam 5: Token-Ring, Fddi, and Other Lan Technologies

An advantage of differential Manchester encoding is that the polarity of the signal is independent of the bitstream.

____________________ is where an unwanted message, picture, or sound is sent to a Bluetooth device.

IEEE 802.5 limits the number of stations on any ring to ____.

Currently, Ethernet is the second most popular networking technology after token-ring.

____ can be used to determine the distance to a fault in a cable.

All aspects of Bluetooth are controlled by the ____, which issues specifications and licenses for Bluetooth technology.

Bluetooth is supported by only a few of the major operating systems.

The ____________________ bits indicate the current priority of the token and any associated information frames.

In a token-ring network, one station on the ring acts as the ____ and is responsible for ensuring that valid tokens circulate on the ring.

Describe Bluetooth.

____ is known as a self-healing baseband network technology similar to token-ring.

Describe broadband LANs.

In a token-ring network, data are transmitted using a ____.

The IEEE 802.4 ____ standard describes the mechanism by which multiple stations share access to a common bus.

In a fiber-based LAN, an ____, fiber optic power meter, and even a fusion splicer may be needed to reconnect damaged fibers.

Though the logical topology of a token-ring network is a ring, the physical topology is a combination of star and ring.

In Manchester encoding, a(n) '____' is encoded as a falling edge in the middle of the bit time.

The topology of a Bluetooth network is called a ____.

____ use multiple carriers to exchange information.
