___________________1. Are multiple computers linked together to make simultaneous information sharing and
exchange by multiple users.
___________________2. Make it possible for its connected user to share tools, resources and information.
___________________3. The smallest of the 3 network types, consist of pcs connected together within a limited area,
such as within the same building, floor or department.
___________________4. Are network that spans no more than 50 miles. It designed to connect LANS spanning a town
or city.
___________________5. Used to distribute information thousands of miles among thousands of users.
It spans cities, countries even continents.
___________________6. A powerful computer whose sole purpose is to serve network clients.
It runs by network-controlling software and provide workstations with requested resources.
___________________7. Any computer whether mainframe, server, or even a PC that acts as an information source on
a network. Any computer that has a TCP/IP network address.
___________________8. It means any computer sharing the same protocol layer with another computer.
When two computers share resources security levels and user group.
___________________9. It is any network computer that connects to and request resources from a network.
___________________10. It refers to the specific standards governing the sending and receiving of data.
Data transmission system follow predetermined rules so data travels n universally accepted manner.
___________________11. The least expensive and most popular network media. One of the advantages is its special
coating that shrinks in high fire temperatures, eliminating toxic fumes emissions.
___________________12. A network media which the disadvantage is its lack insulation, which makes the cable
susceptible to electrical interference.
___________________13. Is twisted, plastic coated, sheath-wrapped copper wire. The main difference between UTP
and STP is the STP’s aluminum or polyester shielding surrounding individual wires.
___________________14. It allows to reduce or eliminate interference.
___________________15. Are thin, glass strand that carry light waves and are wrapped by an outer protective sheath.
Interpreted by computer as data, the light waves in a fiber optic can travel great distances and deliver vast amounts of
data.
___________________16. The cabling system are extremely powerful and efficient but they are also quite expensive.
___________________17. This are commonly used by cable TV companies. A center cable insulated by plastic or foam,
wrapped in a copper mesh wire and sheathed in a plastic or rubber jacket.
___________________18. It is relatively inexpensive to produce and install.
___________________19. It is useful when connecting a small number of computers using pre-existing hardware, or
when sharing small amount of data.
___________________20. A printed circuit board, an adapter that plugs into the computer’s motherboard when
connected with a cable network, provides the physical link between your computer and the network.
___________________21. Its main function is to convert data into cable-transmittable data, and provide a connection to
network media
___________________22. A hardware device that all pcs on a network are connected to by cabling. The hub manages
receiving and transmitting data from networked devices.
___________________23. It allows data to flow on and off the network between printers, computers, and other devices
by sharing the lanes traffic.
___________________24. A device that strengthen signals and allow them to stay clear over longer distances.
___________________25. Divides network into smaller, more manageable sections helping reduce network traffic.
Data signals arriving on this contain information about their destinations.
___________________26. It allows only specific information to travel over a certain path. When signal arriving at a
bridge does not posse the appropriate address it is filtered out completely.
___________________27. It helps determine how data moves over very large networks. It works like a stoplight at a
busy intersection. It allows data to travel in its own lane of traffic.
___________________28. A device that forwards data packets between local or wide area network groups. Using
routing tables and protocols, it read a signal’s network address and decide its most expedient route.
___________________29. It is a unit of data which is transmitted through the Internet.
