3. Which wavelength is relatively low energy and cannot penetrate through walls or other obstacles? • IR
5. What ranges can be used with very few restrictions? • 900 MHz, 2.4 GHZ, 5 GHz
6. What are the ranges with the fewest restrictions called? • Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM)
7. What has made Bluetooth technology the preferred method for connection computer peripherals? • One-to-many communications
8. What is one of the main advantages of wireless technology? • The ability to provide anytime, anywhere connectivity
9. What is a hotspot? • The implementation of wireless in public locations
10. What are the benefits of wireless LAN technology? • Mobility • Scalability • Flexibility • cost savings • reduce installation time • reliability in harsh environments
11. What are the limitations of wireless LAN technology? • Interference • network and data security • technology
12. What two techniques have been developed to help secure wireless transmissions? • Encryption and authentication
13. What are the three major categories of wireless networks? • WPAN – Wireless Personal Area Network • WLAN – Wireless Local Area Network • WWAN – Wireless Wide Area Network
14. What is the smallest wireless network, which is used to connect various peripheral devices? • WPAN
15. What does an access point do? • Provides a connection between wireless hosts and hosts on an Ethernet wired network
16. What technologies does the WWAN use? • Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
17. What is a good example of a WWAN? • Cell phone network
18. What do wireless standards ensure? • Specify the RF spectrum used, data rates, and how the information is transmitted
19. What is the main organization responsible for the creation of wireless technical standards? • IEEE
20. What IEEE standard governs the WLAN environment? • 802.11
21. What are the current standards for the WLAN environment? • 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n
22. What organization is responsible for testing wireless LAN devices from different manufacturers? • WI-FI Alliance
23. What does the Wi-Fi logo on a device mean? • The equipment meets standards and should interoperate with other devices of the same standard
25. What is a STA? • A wireless client/station
26. What do antennas do? • increase output signal strength from a wireless device • receives wireless signals from other devices
27. What is an increase in signal strength from an antenna known as? • gain
28. How are antenna classified? • According to the way they radiate the signal
29. What is the difference between a directional antenna and an omni-directional antenna? • Directional antenna concentrate signal strength in one direction; omni-directional emit equally in all directions
30. Which antenna type can achieve greater transmission distances? • directional
31. How do you ensure that wireless components connect to the appropriate WLAN? • SSID – Service Set Identifier
32. What is a case-sensitive, alpha-numeric string that can be up to 32 characters? • SSID
33. What is the SSID used for? • To tell wireless devices which LAN they belong to and with which other devices they can communicate
34. What are the two basic forms of WLAN installations? • Ad hoc • Infrastructure mode
35. What is the simplest form of a wireless network? • Ad-hoc
36. How is an ad-hoc network created? • Connecting two or more wireless clients together in a peer-to-peer network
37. What is the mode of wireless communication most often used in the home and business environment? • Infrastructure
38. What controls all communications and ensures that all STAs have equal access to the media on infrastructure mode? • Access Point
39. What is the area covered by a single access point known as? • Basic Service Set (BSS)
41. What is an Extended Service Set (ESS)? • Multiple access points in separate BSS
42. In order to allow movement between the cells without the loss of signal, how much must BSS’s overlap? • 10%
43. How are the conversations between sender and receiver controlled? • Through channels
44. What does Wireless technology use to avoid collisions? • CSMA/CA – Carrier Sense Multiple access with Collision Avoidance
45. What is a CTS (Clear to Send)? • A message indicating that the device may transmit on the channel
