What are the two types of scanning used with wireless LANs? (Choose all that apply)

  1. Passive
  2. Beacon
  3. Probe
  4. Active

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

When you install, configure, and finally start up a wireless LAN client device such as a USB client or PCMCIA card, the client will automatically "listen" to see if there is a wireless LAN within range. The client is also discovering if it can associate with that wireless LAN. This process of listening is called scanning. Scanning occurs before any other process, since scanning is how the client finds the network. There are two kinds of scanning: passive scanning and active scanning. In finding an access point, client stations follow a trail of breadcrumbs left by the access point. These breadcrumbs are called service set identifiers (SSID) and beacons. These tools serve as a means for a client station to find any and all access points.



A wireless portal interconnects LANs conforming to what IEEE standards? (Choose two)

  1. 802.11 and 802.3
  2. 802.3 and 802.5
  3. 802.5 and 802.11
  4. 802.10 and 802.11
  5. 802.5 and 802.10

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

An access point is considered a portal because it allows client connectivity from an 802.11 network to 802.3 or 802.5 networks. Access points are available with many different hardware and software options. The most common of these options are:
? Fixed or Detachable Antennas
? Advanced Filtering Capabilities
? Removable (Modular) Radio Cards
? Variable Output Power
? Varied Types of Wired Connectivity



Choose the organization that creates wireless LAN standards.

  1. IEEE
  2. WLANA
  3. WECA
  4. Wi-Fi

Answer(s): A



Under 802.11 standard, what modulation types are used when transmitting data using DSSS? (Choose all that apply)

  1. CCK
  2. GFSK
  3. BPSK
  4. QPSK
  5. 64QAM

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

The high data rate of 802.11b-compliant devices is the result of using a different coding technique. Though the system is still a direct sequencing system, the way the chips are coded (CCK rather than Barker Code) along with the way the information is modulated (QPSK at 2, 5.5, & 11 Mbps and BPSK at 1 Mbps) allows for a greater amount of data to be transferred in the same time frame. 802.11b compliant products operate only in the 2.4 GHz ISM band between 2.4000 and 2.4835 GHz.



The ETS1 standard being developed to compete against 802.11a is known as?

  1. HomeRF
  2. OpenAir
  3. HiperLan/2
  4. Bluetooth

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The standards ETSI has established, HiPerLAN/2 for example, directly compete against standards created by the IEEE such as 802.11A. There has been much discussion about IEEE and ETSI unifying on certain wireless technologies, but nothing has materialized as of this writing. This effort is referred to as the "5UP" initiative for "5 GHz Unified Protocol." The IEEE's attempt at interoperability with ETSI's HiperLAN/2 standard is the new forthcoming 802.11h standard.
