CIIP EXAMINATION 2024-2025
access point - ANSWER The connection that connects wireless communication
devices to a network is known as an access point. The access point, which is also
referred to as a base station, is typically connected to a wired network. While the
majority of Wi-Fi networks have a range of up to 150 feet, the access point's range
can be increased by utilizing repeaters, which can amplify the network's radio
signal.
accession number - ANSWER A unique identifier for an examination
Active Server Page (ASP) - ANSWER is an HTML page that contains one or more
scripts (tiny embedded programs) that are processed on a Microsoft Web server
before being transmitted to the user.
ADT - ANSWER An HL-7 message that contains registration information and/or
modifications
Apache - ANSWER Apache is a web server that is open source and is compatible
with the majority of platforms. Apache's modular design offers a diverse array of
services, including server-side scripting.
applet - ANSWER A software application that is small in size and operates within a
web browser
Application Service Provider (ASP) - ANSWER An application service provider
(ASP) is a corporation that provides access to application programs and related
services that would otherwise be required to be installed on the personal or
enterprise computers of individuals or enterprises via the Internet.
capacity - ANSWER The maximum quantity of data that can be transmitted within
a specified time frame. The bandwidth is typically communicated in bits per second
(bps) or, more frequently, megabits per second (Mbps) for digital devices. This is
also referred to as the transmission rate.
BIOS - ANSWER Abbreviation for Basic Input/Output System. During the startup
sequence, the BIOS configures devices and subsequently launches the operating
, system. In order to safeguard the BIOS from potential failures, the information is
stored on a ROM chip that is separated from the hard drive, as its function is so
critical.
bit - ANSWER Binary numeral - either a 0 or 1. Eight bits constitute a byte.
bridge - ANSWER A network device that is employed to establish a connection
between two LANs by utilising distinct cabling.
Answer: Broadband Transmission at a high speed. The term is employed to specify
the speed of communication lines or services, and it is most frequently associated
with T1 (1.544 Mbit/s) rates or greater, despite the fact that the actual rate may be
significantly lower or higher, contingent upon the application.
merchant - ANSWER A device that enables the PACS to communicate with the
Hospital Information System (HIS) and/or the Radiology Information System
(RIS). This is not necessary in all systems, as the HL7 standard may enable the RIS
and HIS to directly communicate with the PACS.
Byte - ANSWER Eight bits; also known as an octet.
cable modem - ANSWER A broadband Internet connection that is transmitted via
coaxial TV cables. The bandwidth of co-axial cable is significantly greater than that
of standard telephone lines, which enables cable Internet access to be exceedingly
fast. Additional benefits include the fact that the majority of residences and
businesses are already equipped with cable television, which simplifies the
installation process.
cache - ANSWER A memory area that is designed to store frequently accessed data
for swift access.
CAT5 - ANSWER This is the most prevalent form of cable utilised in networking.
It is composed of four pairs of cable, each of which is twisted together.
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) - ANSWER Cathode ray tube. The glass,
vacuum-displayed device that is utilised in computer terminals and television sets.
Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) - ANSWER An array of light-sensitive elements is
referred to as a CCD device. Electrons are liberated when light strikes the elements,
resulting in the generation of an electrical current. The image generated by the
discrete elements within the CCD device is composed of discrete pixels.
