Question 11

_________________ is a collection of communication equipment and devices that are ___________ so they can communicate in order to share data, hardware, and software or perform an electronic function.

Answer 11

Telecommunications network, interconnected

Question 12

In telecommunications network, the network includes a series of connecting points called
________ (e.g., a telecommunication terminal such as a telephone receiver or computer) that are interconnected with ______ (wiring).

Answer 12

nodes, cables

Question 13

Networks can also interconnect with other networks and contain subnetworks. ( T or F)

Answer 13

T

Question 14

Describes the configuration of a network, including its nodes, connecting cables and equipment.

Answer 14

Topology

Question 15

Describes the manner in which the cable is run to
individual workstations on the network.

Answer 15

Topology

Question 16

-Connects each workstation (node) to a SINGLE cable trunk.
-All signals are broadcast to all WORKSTATIONS.

Answer 16

bus topology

Question 17

If the signal’s address matches that of the computer, the computer processes the signal.

Answer 17

Bus Topology

Question 18

Analog transmission is capable of transmitting both ________ and _________ messages

Answer 18

voice, nonvoice

Question 19

( T/F), Voice transmissions are bulky when transmitted in an analog formt, so they cannot be transmitted rapidly.

Answer 19

F - Nonvoice transmissions

Question 20

( T / F) In a bus topology, if the address does not match, the computer takes no action and the signal will travel no more.

Answer 20

F, signal travels down the bus to the next computer.
