(011) What software activates the actual transmission and receipt of data over the network?
- A.
  
  Network interface card (NIC) connector interfaces.
- B.
  
  Network interface drivers.
- C.
  
  Media access control (MAC).
- D.
  
  Open data interfaces.
Correct Answer
B. Network interface drivers.

Explanation
Network interface drivers are software programs that activate the actual transmission and receipt of data over the network. These drivers allow the network interface card (NIC) to communicate with the operating system and other devices on the network. Without the network interface drivers, the NIC would not be able to send or receive data, making it impossible to transmit information over the network.

(011) Which of these is not defined by network protocols?
- A.
  
  Packet sizes.
- B.
  
  Signal timing.
- C.
  
  Connector interfaces.
- D.
  
  Whether acknowledgment is needed.
Correct Answer
C. Connector interfaces.

Explanation
Network protocols are responsible for defining the rules and procedures for communication within a network. They determine how data is transmitted, received, and processed. Packet sizes, signal timing, and whether acknowledgment is needed are all aspects that are defined by network protocols. However, connector interfaces are not defined by network protocols. Connector interfaces refer to the physical connectors used to connect devices to a network, such as Ethernet cables or USB ports. The specifications for these connectors are determined by hardware standards, not network protocols.

(011) Which information is not required when configuring Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)?
- A.
  
  Domain name system server address.
- B.
  
  Media access control (MAC) address.
- C.
  
  Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- D.
  
  Administrator access.
Correct Answer
B. Media access control (MAC) address.

Explanation
When configuring TCP/IP, the Media Access Control (MAC) address is not required. The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces, and it is used at the data link layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack. However, when configuring TCP/IP, the focus is on the network layer, which includes the IP address and the domain name system (DNS) server address. The IP address is essential for identifying devices on the network, and the DNS server address is necessary for translating domain names into IP addresses. Administrator access is also not directly related to TCP/IP configuration, as it pertains to user privileges and permissions.

(012) What stores print jobs in a print queue until a printer becomes available?
- A.
  
  Print pool.
- B.
  
  Print farm.
- C.
  
  Print server.
- D.
  
  Distributive print.
Correct Answer
C. Print server.

Explanation
A print server is a device or software that stores print jobs in a print queue until a printer becomes available. It manages the printing process by receiving print requests from multiple computers and sending them to the appropriate printer. This allows for efficient printing and prevents print jobs from being lost or delayed if a printer is currently busy or offline.

(013) Which is not a transmission medium for a wireless local area network?
- A.
  
  Microwaves.
- B.
  
  Fiber optics.
- C.
  
  Radio.
- D.
  
  Light.
Correct Answer
B. Fiber optics.

Explanation
Fiber optics is not a transmission medium for a wireless local area network because it requires physical cables to transmit data. Wireless local area networks, on the other hand, use radio waves to transmit data without the need for physical cables. Microwaves, radio waves, and light can all be used as transmission mediums for wireless local area networks as they can transmit data wirelessly.

(013) What does the Air Force Network Integration Center (AFNIC) recommend for most military wireless network applications?
- A.
  
  Fiber optics.
- B.
  
  Microwave.
- C.
  
  Satellite.
- D.
  
  Light.
Correct Answer
C. Satellite.

Explanation
The Air Force Network Integration Center (AFNIC) recommends satellite for most military wireless network applications. This is because satellite communication provides reliable and secure connectivity over long distances, making it suitable for military operations that require communication in remote or difficult-to-reach areas. Additionally, satellite networks can support high bandwidth and are less susceptible to interference compared to other options like microwave or fiber optics. Therefore, satellite is the preferred choice for military wireless network applications according to AFNIC.

(014) How does a router send information to the Internet on a wireless network?
- A.
  
  An Ethernet connection.
- B.
  
  Radio waves.
- C.
  
  An antenna.
- D.
  
  Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity).
Correct Answer
A. An Ethernet connection.

Explanation
A router sends information to the Internet on a wireless network through an Ethernet connection. This is because the router acts as a bridge between the wireless network and the Internet, and an Ethernet connection is used to establish a connection between the router and the Internet service provider. The router receives the data from devices connected to the wireless network and then forwards it to the Internet using the Ethernet connection.

(014) What device receives information from the Internet, translates it into a radio signal, and sends it to the computer’s wireless adapter?
- A.
  
  Network interface card (NIC).
- B.
  
  Ethernet.
- C.
  
  Router.
- D.
  
  Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity).
Correct Answer
C. Router.

Explanation
A router is a device that receives information from the Internet and translates it into a radio signal, which is then sent to the computer's wireless adapter. The router acts as a bridge between the Internet and the computer's wireless connection, allowing the computer to access the Internet wirelessly. A network interface card (NIC) is a hardware component that enables a computer to connect to a network, but it does not perform the specific function described in the question. Ethernet is a wired networking technology that does not involve wireless communication. Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) is a term used to describe wireless networking technology, but it does not specifically refer to the device that receives and translates the Internet signal.
