the primary reason of saving communication line costs.
transponderCorrect!
multiplexer
inverse multiplexer

codec
Question 11
1 / 1 pts
(TCO B) Which of the following is true with respect to the data link layer?
It accepts streams of bits from the application layer.
It is responsible for encoding the bit-stream as a series of electronic voltages.Correct!
It performs error detection.
It performs routing functions.
It organizes data from the physical layer and passes these coherent messages directly to the application
layer.
Question 12
1 / 1 pts
(TCO B) Which of the following is not a controlled access method of media access control?
Token passingCorrect!
CSMA/CD
Polling
Roll call polling
Hub polling
Question 13
1 / 1 pts
(TCO B) With contention,
Correct!
computers wait until the circuit is free before they send data.
the server or front end processor works consecutively through a list of clients to determine who should
have access to the media.
the front end processor must wait for a response from the polled client or terminal.
one computer starts the poll and passes it to the next computer on the multipoint circuit.
there is never a chance for collision or two computers trying to send data at the same time.

logical link control sublayer.
network control sublayer.
session sublayer.
physical sublayer.
transport sublayer.

intermodulation noise.
Correct!
spikes.
attenuation.
cross-talk.
Question 16
1 / 1 pts
(TCO B) The loss of power a signal suffers as it travels from the transmitting computer to a receiving
computer isCorrect!
shielding wires.
adding fluorescent lights.
adding repeaters to a circuit.
adding amplifiers to a circuit.
shorting a circuit.
Question 17
1 / 1 pts

Odd parity
Question 18
1 / 1 pts
(TCO B) ARQ means thatCorrect!
a receiver that detects an error in a message simply asks the sender to retransmit the message until it is
received without error.
the common carrier automatically returns queries to the subscriber upon receipt of such queries.
a sender is using a data link protocol called asynchronous repeating request.
a fiber optic cable meets the American registered quality, a certification standard for use in high-quality
data communication transmission lines.
a sender is using a parity scheme called array resource quality.
Question 19
1 / 1 pts
(TCO B) Asynchronous transmission
is used to transmit each character simultaneously with all other characters.
has a predetermined, fixed time between sending characters.
is typically used on multipoint half duplex circuits.
uses a continuous series of start bits as an idle signal.Correct!
each character is transmitted independently of all other characters.
Question 20
1 / 1 pts
(TCO B) Calculating the actual throughput of a data communication network is
not normally required for synchronous networks because they are so fast.Correct!
complex because many factors affect throughput.
simple because packet size is the primary factor affecting throughput.
not needed for satellite-based networks.
far less complicated if the system operates on a contention basis.
