Which of the following is/are manchester code(s)?

  1. Bi-polar code

  2. Non return to zero code

  3. Polar code

  4. Both (2) and (3)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In manchester code, the bit duration is divided into the two halves. The voltage remains same at one level during first half and second half. It moves to the other level and the middle level to provide synchronization. It is like unipolar in which, the signal does not return zero at the middle of the bit and manchester is a combined feature of RZ and NRZ-L(polar). So, it is the correct option.

Which of the following devices is used for carrier detection and collision detection in LAN's?

  1. Bridge

  2. Repeater

  3. Trans-reciever

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Trans-receiver is used for carrier detection and collision detection in LAN's. These detections are called CSMA/CD.

Which of the following techniques is used in high speed modem?

  1. QAM

  2. Multiplexing

  3. Quantization

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

QAM is used in high speed modem. QAM - Quadrature Amplitude modulation is a combination of amplitude and phase modulation to obtain greater throughput in a given channel.

Which of the following statements is false?

  1. Synchronous transmission is more efficient than asynchronous one.

  2. ISDN B channel has capacity of 64 kbps.

  3. FDDI can spread distance of up to 2000 kms.

  4. Ethernet employs manchester coding.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

FDDI can spread over 200 kms. For large networks, it requires more repeaters.

In which method(s) of communication does the transmission takes place in both the directions, but only in one direction at a time?

  1. Simplex

  2. Full duplex

  3. Half duplex

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In half duplex mode, each station can transmit and receive data but not at the same time. When one device is sending the data, the other can only receive, and vice versa. Radio is the example of half duplex, where at a time one can talk and other can listen, and vice versa.

What is the requirement of half duplex operations?

  1. Noiseless channels

  2. Modem at both ends

  3. High speed links

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the above answers are wrong, because half duplex operations involves data flow in only one direction at a time. It is a two wire transmission with medium cost and efficiency.

Which of the following processes allows several signals to travel in the same channel?

  1. Multitasking

  2. Parallel processing

  3. Multiplexing

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Multiplexing allows several signals to travel in the same channel.

__________ is a connection oriented protocol which supports both switched virtual circuits and permanent ones.

  1. ARP

  2. X.21

  3. X.25

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

X.25 is a connection oriented protocol which supports both switched virtual circuits and permanent ones. X.25 is a popular packet switching protocol used in ISDN, consisting of physical, frame and packet levels.

_____________ is a technique used to recover from occasional frame error.

  1. Packet switching

  2. Bit stuffing

  3. Routing

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bit stuffing is a technique used to recover from occasional frame error.

Which of the following popular packet switching protocols is used in ISDN?

  1. RARP

  2. ARP

  3. X.25

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

X.25 is a popular packet switching protocol used in ISDN, consists of physical, frame and packet levels.

Which of the following techniques is/are used by frame relay?

  1. Message switching

  2. Circuit switching

  3. Connection oriented packet switching

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Frame relay uses connection oriented switching technique because synchronous frames of data are routed to different destinations depending on header information.

Which of the following statements is true with respect to switches?

  1. Switches are limited to small networks.

  2. Switches are inefficient.

  3. Switches are not used presently.

  4. Switches are better than the hubs.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Switches are better than the hubs. Switches amplify the bandwidth, so that the same throughput is provided, to each of the machines, connected to the switch. On the other hand, hub simply divides the throughput equally among various nodes, connected to it.

How many segments can be implemented on the LAN Ethernet with 10 base 5?

  1. 5

  2. 4

  3. 3

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The 10 base 5 permits five cable segments, multiple 10 base 5 segments may be connected through repeaters to form a larger network, that still consists of a single collision domain. A repeater regenerates the signals from receiving it from one cable segment, and transmitting to all cables.

How can we measure traffic over a network?

  1. By relative congestion

  2. Repeater

  3. By routing algorithm

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Traffic in a network is usually measured by relative congestion, it is amount of data that flows.

Which of the following is a state driven protocol running full dupex at 9600 bps to 64 kbps with subscriber networks?

  1. X.25

  2. X.21

  3. BOOTP

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

X.21 is a state driven protocol running full dupex at 9600 bps to 64 kbps with subscriber networks. X.21 is a circuit-switching protocol using synchronous.
