What are the two major ways to implement a client server network?
- A.
  
  First/last
- B.
  
  High/low
- C.
  
  Thick/thin
- D.
  
  Client/workstation
Correct Answer
C. Thick/thin

Explanation
The two major ways to implement a client-server network are thick and thin. In a thick client-server network, the majority of the processing power and resources are located on the client side, while the server primarily handles data storage and retrieval. This type of network allows for more control and flexibility on the client side but requires more powerful hardware. In contrast, a thin client-server network offloads most of the processing and resources to the server, with the clients acting as simple terminals. This approach reduces the hardware requirements for clients but may result in decreased performance and limited functionality.

Explanation
When a document is sent to a printer, it needs to be converted into a language that the printer can understand. This language is known as the printer's language. The conversion process can sometimes result in a larger file size compared to the original document. This is because the printer's language may include additional instructions, formatting, or other data that is necessary for the printer to accurately reproduce the document. Therefore, a spooled print job can be several times larger than the printed document size due to the conversion to the printer's language.

A static internet protocol address on a network printer during hardware configuration is used for
- A.
  
  Print job queuing
- B.
  
  Print job locating
- C.
  
  Print job spooling
- D.
  
  Operating system configuration
Correct Answer
B. Print job locating

Explanation
A static internet protocol address on a network printer during hardware configuration is used for print job locating. This means that the printer is assigned a specific IP address that does not change, allowing devices on the network to easily locate and send print jobs to that printer. The static IP address ensures a consistent connection and eliminates the need for devices to search for the printer every time a print job is sent.

The transfer of eight bits of data simultaneously through eight separate lines in a single cable is a function of a
- A.
  
  Serial port
- B.
  
  Parallel port
- C.
  
  Switching port
- D.
  
  USB
Correct Answer
B. Parallel port

Explanation
The transfer of eight bits of data simultaneously through eight separate lines in a single cable is a function of a parallel port. Unlike a serial port which transfers data one bit at a time, a parallel port allows for faster data transfer by sending multiple bits simultaneously through separate lines. This is particularly useful for devices that require high-speed data transfer, such as printers or external storage devices.

  Bundled software
- D.
  
  Imaging software
Correct Answer
D. Imaging software

Explanation
Imaging software is the simplest and most efficient way to duplicate a computer's software without any loss of files or configurations within the programs. Imaging software creates an exact copy or image of the entire hard drive, including the operating system, installed programs, and data. This image can then be easily transferred to another computer or stored as a backup. It ensures that all files, settings, and configurations are preserved, making it an ideal solution for duplicating a computer's software.

How many byte sectors is a hard disk divided into?
- A.
  
  124
- B.
  
  248
- C.
  
  512
- D.
  
  1024
Correct Answer
C. 512

Explanation
A hard disk is divided into 512-byte sectors. This division allows for efficient storage and retrieval of data on the disk. Each sector is a small unit of storage that can hold a fixed amount of data. By dividing the hard disk into sectors, the operating system can easily manage and access the data stored on the disk.

Which alarm category in the network management system indicates a warning?
- A.
  
  Red
- B.
  
  Blue
- C.
  
  Cyan
- D.
  
  Orange
Correct Answer
C. Cyan

Explanation
The alarm category in the network management system that indicates a warning is Cyan. This color is commonly used to signify a caution or advisory state, indicating that there may be potential issues or risks that need attention. Cyan alarms are typically less critical than red alarms, which often indicate severe problems, and orange alarms, which usually represent moderate issues. Blue alarms, on the other hand, are commonly used to indicate informational or operational states rather than warnings or critical conditions.
