    Which technology enables you to make voice calls over your computer network?

    • Internet Voice Protocol

    • Voice over IP

    • Digital Telephony Subscriber

    • Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter

    Correct Answer
    A. Voice over IP
    Explanation
    Voice over IP (VoIP) is the technology that enables users to make voice calls over their computer network. It allows the transmission of voice data in the form of digital packets over the internet or any IP-based network. With VoIP, users can make calls using their computer, smartphone, or any other device connected to the internet, eliminating the need for traditional telephone lines. This technology converts analog voice signals into digital data and transmits it over the network, providing a cost-effective and efficient way of communication.

    A Virtual Private Network creates a __________ through the Internet?

    • Tunnel

    • BRI

    • Connection

    • SSH Session

    Correct Answer
    A. Tunnel
    Explanation
    A Virtual Private Network creates a tunnel through the Internet. This tunnel is a secure and encrypted connection that allows users to access a private network over a public network like the Internet. It ensures that data transmitted between the user's device and the private network remains confidential and protected from unauthorized access. The use of a tunnel in a VPN helps to establish a secure and private connection, enabling users to browse the internet or access resources on the private network securely.

    Which of the following Internet connection methods enables you to watch television on your computer if you have a TV tuner card?

    • DSL

    • Satellite

    • Cable

    • ISN

    Correct Answer
    A. Cable
    Explanation
    Cable internet connection enables you to watch television on your computer if you have a TV tuner card. Cable internet uses the same coaxial cables that deliver cable television signals, allowing you to access both TV channels and internet data through the same connection. With a TV tuner card installed on your computer, you can receive and decode the cable TV signals, thus enabling you to watch TV on your computer screen. DSL and satellite internet connections do not have this capability. ISN is not a recognized internet connection method.

    Where would you go first if you needed to configure a small Linksys router to use a static IP address?

    • The router configuration applet int the Control Panel

    • The Router's configuration web page

    • Plug in a Yost cable and start PuTTY

    • There is no waY to give the router a static IP

    Correct Answer
    A. The Router's configuration web page
    Explanation
    To configure a small Linksys router to use a static IP address, the first place to go would be the router's configuration web page. This web page provides access to the router's settings and allows the user to make changes, including configuring the IP address. The configuration applet in the Control Panel is not specific to the router and may not have the necessary options. Plugging in a Yost cable and starting PuTTY is a method of accessing the router's command line interface, but the web page is typically more user-friendly. The statement "There is no way to give the router a static IP" is incorrect as routers can be configured to use static IP addresses.

    If your modem cannot connect to the Internet, which of the following can you eliminate as a cause of the problem?

    • The phone line is dead

    • All lines on the Internet are busy

    • You dialed the wrong number

    • The modem is ba

    Correct Answer
    A. All lines on the Internet are busy
    Explanation
    If the modem cannot connect to the internet, the cause of the problem cannot be that all lines on the internet are busy. This is because if all lines were busy, it would mean that other devices and modems would also be unable to connect to the internet. Therefore, the problem must lie elsewhere, such as with a dead phone line, dialing the wrong number, or a faulty modem.

    A new client lives in a rural area, outside the connectivity radius of the local cable company and definitely more than 20,000 feet away from the nearest switching center for the phone company.  Which Internet option offers the client the best performance?

    • Cable

    • Dial UP

    • DSL

    • Satellite

    Correct Answer
    A. Satellite
    Explanation
    Satellite internet would be the best option for the client in this scenario. Since they live in a rural area outside the connectivity radius of the local cable company and far away from the nearest switching center for the phone company, cable and DSL options would not be available or feasible. Dial-up internet would also not be a good option as it is slower and less reliable compared to satellite internet. Therefore, satellite internet, which does not rely on physical infrastructure like cables or phone lines, would provide the client with the best performance in this situation.

    John walked up to a computer that couldn't connect to the Internet and immediately opened a command-line window and typed ping 127.0.0.1.  Why?

    • He wanted to test the connection to the default gateway

    • He wanted to test the connection to the nearest Tier 2 router.

    • He wanted to test the NIC on the local machine.

    • He wanted to test the NIC on the default gateway

    Correct Answer
    A. He wanted to test the NIC on the local machine.
    Explanation
    John typed "ping 127.0.0.1" in the command-line window to test the NIC (Network Interface Card) on the local machine. The IP address 127.0.0.1 is known as the loopback address, which represents the local host. By pinging this address, John can check if the NIC is functioning properly and if the network stack is working correctly on his own machine. This test helps to determine if the issue lies with the local machine or if it is related to the network connectivity.

    What is the name for the extremely fast networking connections through which Internet transmissions take place?

    • Gateways

    • Tier 1 Providers

    • Backbones

    • ISPs

    Correct Answer
    A. Backbones
    Explanation
    Backbones are the extremely fast networking connections through which Internet transmissions take place. They are the main high-speed connections that link various networks and Internet service providers (ISPs) together. Backbones act as the central infrastructure that enables the flow of data across the Internet, providing the necessary speed and capacity for efficient transmission of information. Gateways are network nodes that connect different networks, Tier 1 providers are large ISPs that directly connect to the Internet backbone, and ISPs are companies that provide Internet access to individuals and organizations.
