Question #3
DRAG DROP -
A small ISP has hired a new technician. Joe, the new technician, is being trained to configure customers' home networks. The training instructor gives the technician a starter kit with cables, cable ends, and other network equipment and asks him to build a working network.
The computer should be connected to have Internet connectivity and the phone should be connected to have a dial tone.
INSTRUCTIONS -
Use the appropriate cables, cable ends, tools and equipment to configure the network and connect all components accordingly.
There are 2 steps and the simulation starts on step 1.

Question #4
A technician is tasked with installing additional RAM in a desktop computer. Which of the following types of RAM is MOST likely to be used?
- ASODIMM
- BDDR3Most Voted
- CECC
- DVRAM
Correct Answer:
B
B

DDR3 is indeed the most fitting choice for desktop RAM installation, being the prevalent standard. It's designed for regular desktop use, in contrast to SODIMM, which is tailored for laptops and compact devices, ECC, primarily for servers ensuring data integrity, and VRAM specific to graphics cards. Understanding these distinctions is essential for making correct hardware upgrades and choices.

Question #5
Vertical streaks are appearing on the output of a laser printer. Which of the following items is the MOST likely cause?
- ARoller
- BDrumMost Voted
- CTransfer belt
- DRibbon
Correct Answer:
B
B

When you notice vertical streaks on prints from a laser printer, the issue often points to the drum unit. The drum plays a crucial role in image transfer; it gets electrically charged by the laser, attracts toner, and then rolls that toner onto the paper. A damaged drum may improperly attract and deposit toner, resulting in sharp vertical lines on the output. It's important to check the drum for any signs of wear or damage and consider replacing it if such imperfections are found.

Question #6
A user is trying to play a DVD on a projector. The user can hear the audio; however, the projector is showing an error message that states:
HDMI Blocked due to Copy Protection
Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the error?
HDMI Blocked due to Copy Protection
Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the error?
- AThe HDMI cannot carry the signal from the DVD to the projector.
- BThe user needs to switch from HDMI to a cable standard such as DisplayPort.
- CThe projector does not support the necessary HDCP protocol.Most Voted
- DThe user needs to enable cony-protected sources in the projector's settings.
Correct Answer:
D
D

It seems there's confusion regarding the source of the HDMI block issue involving HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). If the projector indeed supports HDCP, enabling it for copy-protected sources through the projector's settings would solve the issue. However, if the projector lacks HDCP support altogether, no settings adjustment will rectify the problem, making answer C equally plausible. It's crucial to verify the projector's specifications to determine the root cause — whether it's a lack of HDCP support or merely a settings adjustment.

Question #7
While implementing a non-carrier-grade wireless backhaul, a technician notices the current channel selection is extremely polluted with various RF signals. Upon performing a spectral analysis, the technician discovers a channel containing almost no RF pollution. Unfortunately, the technician is unable to select that channel.
Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for this issue?
Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for this issue?
- AThe channel is reserved for licensed band use.Most Voted
- BThe channel selection is defective; contact the manufacturer.
- CThe channel must be unlocked by the vendor.
- DThe device requires a firmware update to unlock the channel.
Correct Answer:
C
C

The inability to select a seemingly clean channel in a non-carrier-grade wireless backhaul scenario is likely linked to vendor-specific restrictions, rather than licensing limitations. Vendors may lock certain channels to encourage upgrades or due to regional regulations, requiring specific unlocking processes or clearances to access. This is a common practice to ensure devices operate within legal and technical parameters designed for specific markets or technologies. Always check device specifications or contact vendor support for precise channel availability and unlocking procedures.

Question #8
A user submitted a support ticket that states all of the printouts from a laser printer appear to have double images imposed on them. A review of past printer support tickets shows that a maintenance kit has not been installed in more than a year. Which of the following printer consumables is MOST likely causing the issue?
- ASeparation pad
- BTransfer rollerMost Voted
- CInk cartridge
- DFuser
Correct Answer:
B
B

The transfer roller is key in moving toner from the drum to the paper. If compromised, typically from dirt accumulation or wear (and lack of a maintenance kit within a year suggests this), it fails to manage this task efficiently. This mismanagement often results in double images, or 'ghosting,' which is what you see in the reported printer issue. A clean and effective transfer roller is crucial for crisp, single-imaged printouts.

Question #9
A technician is configuring a workstation to be used as a VM host. After installing the necessary software, the technician is unable to create any VMs. Which of the following actions should be performed?
- ADisable the BIOS password.
- BEnable TPM.
- CEnable multithreading.Most Voted
- DEnable Fast Startup.
Correct Answer:
C
C

Enabling multithreading is crucial for efficiently hosting virtual machines as it leverages multiple CPU threads, enhancing the performance and capability of virtualization platforms. This technology plays a foundational role in managing and facilitating multiple virtual environments simultaneously, which is essential when setting up a workstation as a VM host. The necessity transcends specific OS requirements like TPM for Windows 11, covering any operating system to ensure the VM host operates optimally.

Question #10
A user's computer is not receiving a network connection. The technician confirms that the connection seems to be down and looks for the user's port on the patch panel. The port and patch panel are not labeled. Which of the following network tools should the technician use to identify the port?
- ANetwork tap
- BPunchdown tool
- CToner probeMost Voted
- DCrimper
Correct Answer:
D
D

Absolutely, the toner probe is the right choice here. It's used specifically to identify and trace specific wires or cables within a group, making it perfect for locating the correct port on an unlabeled patch panel. This eliminates the guesswork and ensures that the technician can efficiently resolve the network connection issue by clearly identifying the port connected to the user's computer.
