DSAC-13: ANNEX A study guide 2022 questions
with complete answers
CSM (Communications Security Module) Correct Answer: Encrypts/Decrypts &
Sends/Receives
LSM (LAN Services Module) Correct Answer: End Device Plug-in
LEM (LAN Extension Module) Correct Answer: Extension of LSM
WSM (V1) (WAN Services Module) Correct Answer: Carries Router, different back port. Has 2
routers; 1 network -> Outside Network
WSM (V2) (WAN Services Module) Correct Answer: Carries a single, stronger router than the
WSM (V1)
ESM (Enterprise Switch Module) Correct Answer: LSM but stronger traffic
IAM (Information Assurance Module) Correct Answer: Intrusion protection & solid
connections/insures info is accurate
PM (Power Module) Correct Answer: connected to generator. utilizes UPS (Intellipower
Uninterruptible Power Supply)
CM (Configuration Module) Correct Answer: Basic Laptop
WSM (WAN Service Module) Router Correct Answer: virtual switch
LEM (LAN Extension Module) Correct Answer: 48 ports to plug in to
Ethernet Switch Correct Answer: auto-sensing PoE Switch
Surge Protector Correct Answer: Catches voltage rush if power surges
UPS power supply Correct Answer: Uninterruptible Power Supply that keeps gear running if
power is lost
LSM (LAN Services Module) router Correct Answer: directs traffic destined for the LAN. is
faster and has larger bandwidth
LSM (LAN Service Module) Fiber Switch Correct Answer: a lot more information at faster
speed. Relies on fiber optic connections
LSM (LAN Service Module) Network Time Server (NTS) Correct Answer: Synchronization to
all device clocks. provides smooth & efficient traffic
, LSM (LAN Service Module) UPS Correct Answer: Provides 500w of power for 15 minutes
LSM (LAN Service Module) Signal Entry Panel Correct Answer: Serial connections, fiber
connection to fiber switch. Allows for faster speeds
LSM (LAN Service Module) Surge Suppressor Correct Answer: Protects gear from getting fried
ASM (Application Services Module) Correct Answer: Most common. Red circles indicate hard
drives. Has a Hot-Swappable redundant power supplies.
SSD (Solid State Drive) Correct Answer: Used to receive & transfer data quicker than hard
drives
ASM (Application Services Module) Rear Correct Answer: CAT5 protrudes from the back.
must have direct connection from CAT5 to access internet (not wireless)
ESM (Enterprise Switch Module) Correct Answer: Routes all of the traffic because it has the
power. Has more power than LSM, but weaker traffic
SM Signal Entry Panel Correct Answer: Black panel handles all encrypted traffic. Located at top
of module. Red panel handles deals with unencrypted traffic. Located above LANTRONIX and
under third panel
Third SEP (Signal Entry Panel) Correct Answer: Handles traffic for the CV-MCU, the modem
cable connections/fiber connections for transmission
Concept of Isolation & Separation Correct Answer: ensure the effects of a disturbance/incident,
within one part of the system, can be limited to just that part of the overall system
Compartmentalization Correct Answer: an extension of the isolation/separation concept where a
system can be designed into multiple compartments. A breach can be contained in one
compartment
Policy Enforcement Correct Answer: provides the ability to enforce allowed behavior between
connected systems, users, applications, IP networks, and file blocking policies
Identity & Trust Correct Answer: defines the ability of a system to identify entities accessing a
given resources and determine a trust level or state of trust.
Instrumental & Visibility Correct Answer: Using equipment indicating, measuring, and
recording physical quantities
Visibility Correct Answer: the monitoring of behavior of the usage in the network
Two types of network diagrams? Correct Answer: Logical & Physical
