Exam 11: Understanding Telecommunication Systems and Network Topologies

Wireless media are transmission materials manufactured so that signals will be confined to a narrow path and will behave predictably.

A protocol is a standard that specifies the format of data as well as the rules to be followed during transmission.

What is a peer-to-peer network?

The application layer handles end-to-end packet transportation.

Coaxial cable refers to a type of cable composed of four (or more)copper wires twisted around each other within a plastic sheath.

What is a telecommunications system?

A server is a computer designed to request information from a server.A server is a computer dedicated to providing information in response to requests.

What is a protocol?

What is a client?

A hub (switch or router)is the hardware to perform traffic control.

Which of the following is not a commonly used type of guided media?

A protocol is the capability of two or more computer systems to share data and resources,even though they are made by different manufacturers.

Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)allows Web browsers and servers to send and receive Web pages.

What is interoperability?

Topology includes peer-to-peer networks and client/server networks.

What refers to the technology associated with the transmission of information as light impulses along a glass wire or fiber?

FTP provides terminal emulation that allows a personal computer or workstation to act as a terminal,or access device,for a server.

What refers to a type of cable composed of four copper wires twisted around each other within a plastic sheath?

What is transmission material manufactured so that signals will be confined to a narrow path and will behave predictably?

Media includes coaxial,twisted-pair,and fiber-optic.
