- A.
Cache.
- B.
Buffer.
- C.
Interface.
- D.
Interrupt.
Correct Answer
D. Interrupt.Explanation
An interrupt is a signal from a computer hardware device that indicates the need for attention from the CPU. It can be either asynchronous, meaning it can occur at any time, or synchronous, meaning it occurs at a specific time or event. Interrupts are used to interrupt the normal execution of a program and transfer control to a specific interrupt handler routine, which handles the event that triggered the interrupt. This allows the CPU to quickly respond to important events and prioritize tasks efficiently.Rate this question:

(006) Which is a very simple example of an error detecting code?
- A.
Interrupt.
- B.
Parity bit.
- C.
Data integrity.
- D.
Asynchronous.
Correct Answer
B. Parity bit.Explanation
A parity bit is a very simple example of an error detecting code. It is an extra bit added to a binary code to detect errors during transmission. The parity bit is set to 1 or 0 depending on the number of 1's in the data being transmitted. If the number of 1's is even, the parity bit is set to 0, and if the number of 1's is odd, the parity bit is set to 1. During transmission, the recipient can check the parity bit and compare it with the received data to determine if any errors occurred.Rate this question:

- A.
Halves.
- B.
Doubles.
- C.
Decreases.
- D.
Stays the same.
Correct Answer
D. Stays the same.Explanation
In a cable Internet, the speed of the overall transfer rate of data stays the same as the distance increases. This is because cable Internet uses coaxial or fiber optic cables to transmit data, which are not affected by distance in the same way as wireless connections. Unlike wireless signals, which can weaken and degrade over long distances, cable Internet maintains a consistent speed regardless of the distance between the user and the service provider. Therefore, the speed of data transfer remains constant regardless of the distance.Rate this question:

(011) Which information is not required when configuring Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)?
- A.
Domain name system server address.
- B.
Media access control (MAC) address.
- C.
Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- D.
Administrator access.
Correct Answer
B. Media access control (MAC) address.Explanation
When configuring TCP/IP, the Media Access Control (MAC) address is not required. The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces, and it is used at the data link layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack. However, when configuring TCP/IP, the focus is on the network layer, which includes the IP address and the domain name system (DNS) server address. The IP address is essential for identifying devices on the network, and the DNS server address is necessary for translating domain names into IP addresses. Administrator access is also not directly related to TCP/IP configuration, as it pertains to user privileges and permissions.Rate this question:

A print server is a device or software that stores print jobs in a print queue until a printer becomes available. It manages the printing process by receiving print requests from multiple computers and sending them to the appropriate printer. This allows for efficient printing and prevents print jobs from being lost or delayed if a printer is currently busy or offline.Rate this question:

(013) Which is not a transmission medium for a wireless local area network?
- A.
Microwaves.
- B.
Fiber optics.
- C.
Radio.
- D.
Light.
Correct Answer
B. Fiber optics.Explanation
Fiber optics is not a transmission medium for a wireless local area network because it requires physical cables to transmit data. Wireless local area networks, on the other hand, use radio waves to transmit data without the need for physical cables. Microwaves, radio waves, and light can all be used as transmission mediums for wireless local area networks as they can transmit data wirelessly.Rate this question:

(013) What does the Air Force Network Integration Center (AFNIC) recommend for most military wireless network applications?
- A.
Fiber optics.
- B.
Microwave.
- C.
Satellite.
- D.
Light.
Correct Answer
C. Satellite.Explanation
The Air Force Network Integration Center (AFNIC) recommends satellite for most military wireless network applications. This is because satellite communication provides reliable and secure connectivity over long distances, making it suitable for military operations that require communication in remote or difficult-to-reach areas. Additionally, satellite networks can support high bandwidth and are less susceptible to interference compared to other options like microwave or fiber optics. Therefore, satellite is the preferred choice for military wireless network applications according to AFNIC.Rate this question:

(014) How does a router send information to the Internet on a wireless network?
- A.
An Ethernet connection.
- B.
Radio waves.
- C.
An antenna.
- D.
Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity).
Correct Answer
A. An Ethernet connection.Explanation
A router sends information to the Internet on a wireless network through an Ethernet connection. This is because the router acts as a bridge between the wireless network and the Internet, and an Ethernet connection is used to establish a connection between the router and the Internet service provider. The router receives the data from devices connected to the wireless network and then forwards it to the Internet using the Ethernet connection.Rate this question:

(014) What device receives information from the Internet, translates it into a radio signal, and sends it to the computer’s wireless adapter?
- A.
Network interface card (NIC).
- B.
Ethernet.
- C.
Router.
- D.
Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity).
Correct Answer
C. Router.Explanation
A router is a device that receives information from the Internet and translates it into a radio signal, which is then sent to the computer's wireless adapter. The router acts as a bridge between the Internet and the computer's wireless connection, allowing the computer to access the Internet wirelessly. A network interface card (NIC) is a hardware component that enables a computer to connect to a network, but it does not perform the specific function described in the question. Ethernet is a wired networking technology that does not involve wireless communication. Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) is a term used to describe wireless networking technology, but it does not specifically refer to the device that receives and translates the Internet signal.Rate this question:
