    What command can you enter at a DOS Prompt to check if the computer is communicating to other computers over the network?

    • Ipconfig /all

    • Nslookup

    • Ping

    • Format

    • Prompt

    Correct Answer
    A. Ping
    Explanation
    The "ping" command is used to check if the computer is communicating to other computers over the network. It sends a small packet of data to a specific IP address or domain name and waits for a response. If the computer receives a response, it means that it is successfully communicating with the other computer.

    • RJ-12

    • RJ-45

    Correct Answer
    A. RJ-45
    Explanation
    CAT5 cables use RJ-45 connectors. RJ-45 is a registered jack connector commonly used for Ethernet connections. It has eight pins and is designed to connect network devices such as computers, routers, and switches. The RJ-45 connector is compatible with CAT5, CAT5e, and CAT6 cables, which are commonly used for wired Ethernet networks.

    Which two connectors are used to connect external peripherals?

    • EIDE

    • Molex

    • PATA

    • PS/2

    • USB

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. PS/2
    A. USB
    Explanation
    PS/2 and USB are the two connectors used to connect external peripherals. PS/2 is a round connector commonly used for connecting keyboards and mice to a computer. USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a rectangular connector that is widely used for connecting various peripherals such as printers, scanners, external hard drives, and more. Both PS/2 and USB connectors provide a reliable and convenient way to connect external devices to a computer system.

    What is the maximum length of CAT5 cables?

    • 100 meters

    • 200 meters

    • 300 meters

    • 400 meters

    • 500 meters

    Correct Answer
    A. 100 meters
    Explanation
    CAT5 cables are commonly used for Ethernet networking. The maximum length of CAT5 cables is 100 meters. This is because beyond this length, the signal strength starts to degrade, causing data loss and reduced network performance. To ensure reliable and efficient data transmission, it is recommended to use repeaters or switches to extend the network beyond 100 meters.

    • 6

    • 7

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    A CAT5 cable typically contains 8 wires. These wires are used for transmitting data signals in computer networks. Each wire is color-coded and serves a specific purpose, such as transmitting data, receiving data, or providing power to devices. The CAT5 cable is a common type of Ethernet cable used for wired internet connections and is capable of supporting data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbps.

    What kind of connector is used on telephone line modem cables?

    • RJ-5

    • RJ-6

    • RJ-11

    • RJ-12

    • RJ-45

    Correct Answer
    A. RJ-11
    Explanation
    RJ-11 is the correct answer because it is the type of connector commonly used on telephone line modem cables. RJ-11 connectors have four or six pins and are used for connecting telephones, fax machines, and modems to telephone lines. They are smaller in size compared to RJ-45 connectors, which are used for Ethernet cables.

    What RAID level has three or more drives for redundancy?

    • RAID 0

    • RAID 1

    • RAID 3

    • RAID 4

    • RAID 5

    Correct Answer
    A. RAID 5
    Explanation
    RAID 5 is the correct answer because it is a RAID level that requires at least three drives for redundancy. In RAID 5, data is striped across multiple drives with distributed parity, which means that if one drive fails, the data can be reconstructed using the parity information stored on the other drives. This provides redundancy and fault tolerance, making RAID 5 a popular choice for data protection in systems with three or more drives.

    TCP/IP is installed on each PC within a network. You can communicate within the network but are unable to access the Internet. Which of the following TCP/IP settings must be properly configured for Internet access?

    • IP Address

    • MAC address

    • Default Gateway

    • DNS Server

    • SubNet Mask

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. IP Address
    A. Default Gateway
    A. DNS Server
    A. SubNet Mask
    Explanation
    To access the Internet, the IP Address, Default Gateway, DNS Server, and Subnet Mask must be properly configured. The IP Address is necessary to identify the device within the network and the Default Gateway is required to connect the network to the Internet. The DNS Server is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, allowing access to websites. The Subnet Mask helps determine the network and host portions of the IP address. Therefore, all of these settings must be correctly configured for Internet access.
