a. DSLAM
b. CO
c. CMTS (cable modem termination system)
d. Splitter
a. DSL
b. FTTP
c. Cable
d. All of the above
11. This is the protocol used to "gather" DSL traffic from user and forward it to a Digital Subscriber
Line Access Multiplexer, which consolidates traffic across the backbone network.
12. This form of DSL uses most of the channel to transmit downstream to the user and only a small
part to receive information from the user.
a. VoIP
b. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
c. ISDN
d. cable modem
13. This trademarked version of DSL that is somewhat slower than ADSL but has the advantage that
a "splitter" does not need to be installed at the user's end.
a. Unified Messaging
b. Consumer DSL
c. G. Lite
d. Net caster
4. This device divides the incoming signal into low frequencies to send to voice devices, and high
frequencies for data to the computer.
a. multicast router
b. interface device
c. sequencer
d. splitter
5. This is a network device, usually at a telephone company centraloffice, that receives signals from
multiple customer DSL connections and puts the signals on a high-speed backbone line.
a. MBone
b. repeater
c. hub
d. DSLAM
6. This is the leading method of signal modulation for DSL servicein which the usable frequency
range is separated into 256 frequency bands(or channels) of 4.3125KHz each.
a. pulse code modulation
b. Discrete Multitone
c. frequency-division multiplexing
d. Signaling System 7
7. This is a technology from US Robotics (now 3Com) for the downstream transmission of data over
ordinary phone lines at 56 Kbps.
a. Y-modem
b. xDSL
c. Z-modem
d. x2
8. This term is used to describe multiple signals or streams of information sent at the same time in
the form of a single, complex signal and then recovered as separate signals at the receiving end.
a. multicast
b. multilink bundle
c. multiplexing
d. Multithreading
9. This type of DSL is used for wideband digital transmission within a corporate site and between the
telephone company and a customer.It is symmetrical, meaning that an equal amount of bandwidth
is available in both directions.
a. BAL
b. high bit-rate DSL
c. vBNS
d. wideband code-division multiple access
10. This was the original approach for modulation of a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) signal.
a. carrierless amplitude/phase
b. pulse code modulation
c. quadrature amplitude modulation
d. phase-shift keying
