Where is call back used?
-
On phones
-
On dial-up systems
-
On computers
Correct Answer
A. On dial-up systemsExplanation
Call back is a feature commonly used in dial-up systems. When a user dials into a remote system, instead of establishing a direct connection, the system disconnects the call and then calls back the user at a predetermined number. This adds an extra layer of security by verifying the identity of the user before granting access to the system. Call back is not typically used on phones or computers, making dial-up systems the most appropriate option for implementing this feature.Rate this question:

What does call back do?
-
Dial into a network
-
Dial into a phone
-
Dial into a computer
Correct Answer
A. Dial into a networkExplanation
The call back function allows a user to dial into a network. This means that when a user initiates a call back, they are essentially requesting the network to establish a connection with their device. This can be useful in situations where the user is unable to directly connect to the network or needs to establish a secure connection. By dialing into the network, the user can access the resources and services provided by the network.Rate this question:

Where are Diskless Networks located?
-
Office computers
-
Home computers
-
Server computers
Correct Answer
A. Server computersExplanation
Diskless networks are located on server computers. In a diskless network, the client computers do not have their own local storage devices such as hard drives or solid-state drives. Instead, they rely on a central server to provide them with the necessary operating system and software applications. The server stores all the data and programs, which are accessed by the client computers over the network. This setup allows for centralized management, easier software updates, and reduced hardware costs for the client computers.Rate this question:
-
- 10.
How does Diskless Networks work?
-

-
The server serves requests from both the client computer operating systems
-
The server automatically request and saves data
Correct Answer
A. The server serves requests from both the client computer operating systemsExplanation
Diskless networks work by having a server that serves requests from both the client computer operating systems. This means that the server is responsible for handling and fulfilling requests from the client computers, whether it is retrieving data or performing other tasks. The server acts as a central hub that manages and coordinates the operations of the client computers, allowing them to operate without the need for local storage devices such as hard drives. This centralized approach offers benefits such as easier management and maintenance of the network, as well as improved security and data integrity.Rate this question:
-
- 11.
Why is the purpose of Diskless Networks?
-
To work wirelessly with the clients computer
-
To run computers without disks
-
Taking control of the clients computer and running it from the server
Correct Answer
A. Taking control of the clients computer and running it from the serverExplanation
The purpose of Diskless Networks is to take control of the clients' computer and run it from the server. In a diskless network setup, the client computers do not have their own hard disks and instead rely on the server for storage and processing power. This allows for centralized management and control of the client computers, making it easier to deploy updates, manage software, and ensure security.Rate this question:
-
- 12.
What is Diskless Networks?
-
A computer network with a centralized storage server
-
A computer network that works wirelessly
-
A computer network that operates on its own
Correct Answer
A. A computer network with a centralized storage serverExplanation
Diskless Networks refer to computer networks that do not have local storage on individual computers or devices. Instead, these networks rely on a centralized storage server to store and manage data. This allows for easier management and maintenance of the network, as well as improved security and data backup capabilities. By eliminating the need for local storage, diskless networks can also reduce costs and simplify the deployment of new devices on the network.Rate this question:
