1. Question #1

   In an enterprise WLAN, what condition will prevent a dual-band VHT/HT client device from performing a fast and seamless transition (i.e. latency-sensitive applications are notdisrupted) between two access points that are managed by the same WLAN controller?

   • A. The current AP is using channel 1 and the new AP is using channel 40.
   • B. The SSID of the current AP does not match the SSID of the new AP.
   • C. The current AP supports only HT and the new AP is VHT capable.
   • D. The access points are hiding the SSID in Beacons and Probe Response frames.

5. Question #5

   When performing a site survey for a Multiple Channel Architecture (MCA) system in a multi- tenant building with five floors, what aspect should you, as the site surveyor, keep in mind?

   • A. The RF interference caused by passing airplanes supporting on-board Wi-Fi should be a prime consideration.
   • B. The omni-directional antennas of the access points should beoriented parallel to the floor to maximize the coverage pattern across as many floors as possible.
   • C. The channel reuse pattern should be three dimensional with the RF cell extending coverage of each access point to other floors.
   • D. The Fresnel Zone is completely blocked between floors so each floor is considered a separate site survey.
