    Worksheet 2.

    1: for testing basic understanding


    1 a Name the two types of cable that use copper to transmit an electrical signal.
    b Which one of these types of cable is typically bundled?
    c In the bundled cable, what is done to minimise interference?
    d In the other type of cable, why is interference less of a problem?
    2 Sort the different cable types by numbering them 1, 2 and 3.
    In part a, number them in order of increasing bandwidth.
    In part b, number them in order of increasing attenuation at high frequency.
    Part a
    Coaxial
    Fibre optic
    Twisted pair
    Part b
    Coaxial
    Fibre optic
    Twisted pair
    3 a Explain three factors that need to be considered when using wireless transmission.
    b For each factor, state which type of radiation it interferes with the most.
    4 Choose whether each of the following statements about wireless transmission is true or false:
    A The frequency for these forms of electromagnetic radiation increases from radio wave to microwave to
    infrared.
    B Attenuation due to rain is worst for radio waves.
    C Infrared is the wireless transmission that can best transmit through a wall.
    D Infrared can be more effectively focussed into a directed beam.
    5 Choose the correct word or phrase from the list, A–F, to complete the blank spaces in the following two
    sentences.
    The _______________________ is provided by _______________________ satellites where
    _______________________ are needed for global coverage. The _______________________ is
    supplemented by _______________________ satellites where _______________________ are needed for
    global coverage.
    A ten
    B fifty
    C medium earth orbit (MEO)
    D global positioning system (GPS)
    E low earth orbit (LEO)
    F cellular phone network

    6 The CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access with collision detection) technology is sometimes used with
    Ethernet in a LAN.
    a When is it essential to use the CSMA/CD technology?
    b Outline the steps in the procedure when an end-system wishes to send a transmission.
    c Does an end-system have to take any action to ensure that a transmission is received using Ethernet?
    7 Choose whether each of the following statements is true or false:
    a POTS and PSTN mean the same thing.
    b A PSTN might function as an ISP.
    c A leased line service is a type of dial-up service provided by a PSTN.
    d The Internet is just a very large WAN.
    e The web and the Internet mean the same thing.
    8 Consider the following two dotted decimal representations:
    192.0.255.15
    128.235.455.15
    Explain why only one is a possible IP address.
    9 Consider the following IP addresses:
    192.38.45.255
    128.38.45.255
    64.38.45.255
    Without converting to binary form, state which class each IP address represents.
    10 Consider the following URL:
    http://www.mirc.co.uk/help/jarkko2.txt
    Explain the meaning of each part of this. In particular, identify the domain name and its associated hierarchy.
