security reasons
Use the voltmeter function; both the network interface device (NID) and the embedded
multimedia terminal adapter (EMTA) provide a steady on-hook voltage
the QAM channel quality is on the edge for reliable reception, and the source of the
problem is likely in the distribution network or customer premises
Term 9 of 170
What are some of the AP facts that should be detailed in a WLAN site survey
Location within facility, antenna type to be used, power output settings, how power will
be provided to unit, and the expected data throughput per unit
To control which frames over a certain size are announced and cleared to send by the
stations
To allow fair coexistence between point coordination function (PCF)-mode and
distributed coordination function (DCF)-mode clients on the network
Increase the transmission power, replace the omnidirectional antenna with a parabolic
antenna, and use the 2.4 GHz radio band instead of the 5 GHz radio band
, Term 10 of 170
When replacing a splitter to resolve a digital TV(DTV) service problem, what does confirming
the splitter output levels before attaching the output connectors do?
Tighten connections between cables and connectors and use impedance-matched
hardware throughput
Confirmation reinforces the tech's confidence that the problem will be resolved by
replacing the splitter
When remote buildings house small groups of wired clients needing wireless access to
the main network
To control which frames over a certain size are announced and cleared to send by the
stations
Term 11 of 170
How might you confirm the presence of a hidden node on the network
LOS is accompanied by a Fresnel Zone, a series of concentric ellipsoid-shaped areas
around the visual LOS path
The AP transmits the challenge text in the clear and receives the same challenge text
encrypted with the WEP key
Turn on the request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) protocol and watch for increased
network data throughput
IP multicast traffic is only sent to specific modem addresses on the network; IP broadcast
traffic is sent to all modems on the network
Term 12 of 170
Why is Direct Sequencing Spread Spectrum (DSSS) the most widely known and the most used
of the spread spectrum types
Its ease of implementation and high data rates
When large frames experience high collision rates
It narrows the scope of likely problem sources
Equally in all directions around its axis
