Which control signal on a serial cable, indicates that the data set is ready?

(this question provided by simulationexams.com)

( A )   DTR
( B )   DSR
( C )   RTS
( D )   CTS
( E )   None of the above

The Correct Answer is: B

Explanation:

COM1, COM2 on a computer uses a serial cable. The pin assignments are shown below. The computer acts as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and the Modem acts as DCE (Data Communication Equipment).

Signal--Name---------DB9 Pin

RX------Received Data--2

TX------Transmitted Data-3

DTR-----Data Terminal Ready--4

GND---- Ground--5

DSR---- Data Set Ready--6

RTS---- Request to Send--7

CTS---- Clear to send--8

Normally, a DTE device connects to a DCE device with a straight cable. If you want to connect two DTR devices, as you would do to hook up two computers via the serial line to exchange files, the cable itself must have cross connections. Such a cable is called a null modem cable.


Which of the following is the port address for serial port COM1?

(this question provided by simulationexams.com)

( A )   3F0-3F7
( B )   2F8-2FF
( C )   320-32F
( D )   3F8-3FF
( E )   None of the above

The Correct Answer is: D

Explanation:

You need to memorize the following port addresses before attending the exam.

Port-Base address (in hex)

COM4: 2E8-2EF

COM2: 2F8-2FF

COM3: 3E8-3EF

COM1: 3F8-3FF

LPT2 : 278-27F

LPT1 : 378-37F

Floppy Controller: 3F0-3F7

Hard Drive Controller, 16 bit, ISA: 1F0-1F8


What tool would be used to check for line voltage sags?

( A )   Surge protector
( B )   Feedback circuit
