(216) Which option is a characteristic of synchronous data operation?
- A.
  
  Timing pulses are transmitted within the signal stream.
- B.
  
  Start and stop pulses control data transmission.
- C.
  
  System timing is not critical importance.
- D.
  
  All data bits are the same length in time.
Correct Answer
D. All data bits are the same length in time.

Explanation
A characteristic of synchronous data operation is that all data bits are the same length in time. This means that each bit of data is transmitted for the same duration, ensuring that the receiver can accurately interpret the data. This allows for precise timing and synchronization between the sender and receiver, as they both operate on the assumption that each bit will be transmitted and received within the same timeframe. This characteristic is important in ensuring reliable and accurate data transmission.

(216) A digital signal that contains synchronizing bits within the signal stream describes
- A.
  
  Synchronous operation.
- B.
  
  Asynchronous operation.
- C.
  
  Synchronous and/or isochronous operation.
- D.
  
  Asynchronous and/or synchronous operation.
Correct Answer
B. Asynchronous operation.

Explanation
A digital signal that contains synchronizing bits within the signal stream describes asynchronous operation. This means that the signal does not rely on a fixed timing mechanism or clock to transmit data. Instead, the synchronizing bits are used to indicate the start and end of each data unit, allowing for flexibility in the timing of transmission. This allows for more efficient and reliable communication, especially in situations where there may be variations in the timing of data transmission.

(217) How many voltage levels does a binary signal have?
- A.
  
  1.
- B.
  
  2.
- C.
  
  3.
- D.
  
  4.
Correct Answer
B. 2.

Explanation
A binary signal has two voltage levels, typically represented as 0 and 1. These voltage levels correspond to the two possible states of a binary signal, indicating either the absence or presence of a signal. This is the fundamental characteristic of a binary signal, allowing for the representation and transmission of digital information.

(217) In what type of digital signal does the signal level move to one of the discrete signal levels, but returns to the zero level after a predetermined time?
- A.
  
  Non-return-to-zero (NRZ) level.
- B.
  
  NRZ mark.
- C.
  
  NRZ space.
- D.
  
  Return-to-zero
Correct Answer
D. Return-to-zero

Explanation
Return-to-zero is a type of digital signal where the signal level moves to one of the discrete signal levels and then returns to the zero level after a predetermined time. This means that the signal alternates between positive and negative levels, with a period of zero in between each level change. Unlike non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals, which maintain a constant level until the next signal change, return-to-zero signals have a built-in mechanism to ensure that the signal returns to the zero level, providing synchronization and preventing signal distortion.

(218) Digital coding techniques such as binary with eight-zero substitution (B8ZS) are becoming more popular because they are designed to
- A.
  
  Provide error-free signaling.
- B.
  
  Operate at higher data rates.
- C.
  
  Eliminate bipolar violations.
- D.
  
  Maintain ones density standards.
Correct Answer
D. Maintain ones density standards.

Explanation
Digital coding techniques such as binary with eight-zero substitution (B8ZS) are designed to maintain ones density standards. Ones density refers to the ratio of ones to zeros in a digital signal. By substituting eight consecutive zeros with a specific pattern, B8ZS ensures that the density of ones is maintained, which is important for synchronization and clock recovery in high-speed digital communication systems. This coding technique helps in reducing errors and maintaining the integrity of the transmitted data.

(218) Which statement best describes a binary with eight-zero substitution (B8ZS) signal?
- A.
  
  The information is transmitted in three different voltage levels.
- B.
  
  A logic one is transmitted as positive voltage if the previous logic one was negative.
- C.
  
  The level always returns to zero for 50 percent of the bit cycle after every transition.
- D.
  
  Bipolar violations are intentionally inserted into a data signal to break up long strings of zeros.
Correct Answer
D. Bipolar violations are intentionally inserted into a data signal to break up long strings of zeros.

Explanation
A B8ZS signal is a type of line encoding used in telecommunications. It is designed to break up long strings of zeros in the data signal by intentionally inserting bipolar violations. This helps to ensure that the receiver can accurately detect the boundaries between bits and maintain synchronization. The other statements in the question do not accurately describe the characteristics of a B8ZS signal.

- A.
  
  8.
- B.
  
  12.
- C.
  
  24.
- D.
  
  48.
Correct Answer
C. 24.

Explanation
The extended superframe format (ESF) framing sequence consists of 24 bits. This framing sequence is used in T1 digital transmission systems to provide synchronization and framing information. It is composed of various bits that help in identifying the beginning and end of each frame, as well as in detecting errors in the transmission. Therefore, the correct answer is 24.

- D.
  
  Provide a clear signal.
Correct Answer
C. Control and process calls.

Explanation
The signaling equipment has three types of communication signals that control and process calls. This means that the equipment is responsible for managing and handling phone calls, ensuring that they are routed correctly and that the necessary translations and addressing are performed. The signals play a crucial role in controlling the flow of calls and ensuring smooth communication.

- A.
  
  Pulse.
- B.
  
  Tone.
- C.
  
  Digit.
- D.
  
  Address.
Correct Answer
B. Tone.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Tone" because tone dialing uses a two-frequency combination to transmit signals during phone communication. This method replaced the older pulse dialing system, which relied on mechanical switches to send electrical pulses corresponding to the dialed numbers. Tone dialing is more efficient and allows for faster and more accurate dialing.

(221) In common associated signaling (CAS), what is the seventh bit in frame 6 and 12 used for?
- A.
  
  Bit robbing.
- B.
  
  Bit stuffing.
- C.
  
  Frame correction.
- D.
  
  Frame enhancement.
Correct Answer
A. Bit robbing.

Explanation
In common associated signaling (CAS), the seventh bit in frame 6 and 12 is used for "bit robbing." Bit robbing refers to the process of stealing a bit from the least significant digit in order to transmit additional information. It is commonly used in telecommunication systems to transmit signaling information along with voice data. By robbing this bit, the system can convey important signaling information without affecting the voice quality or other data being transmitted.

(221) How is supervisory signaling information transferred in common channel signaling (CCS)?
- A.
  
  Bit robbing.
- B.
  
  Bit stuffing.
- C.
  
  Frame correction.
- D.
  
  Separate network channel.
Correct Answer
D. Separate network channel.

Explanation
In common channel signaling (CCS), supervisory signaling information is transferred through a separate network channel. This means that the signaling information is sent separately from the voice or data traffic, ensuring that it does not interfere with the main communication channel. This allows for more efficient and reliable signaling, as it is not affected by congestion or other issues that may occur in the main channel.
