A new printer has been recently bought and needs to be set up in the office. Which of the following is MOST likely needed for the printer to ensure it can communicate within the network?
a. Scanner
b. PPM
c. IP Address
d. Default Gateway
C. IP Address
communicate within the network
To be able to communicate on the network, every device must have an IP address. A printer on a network will typically be given a static IP address or be used with a DHCP reservation.
A scanner is an input device that can sometimes be integrated within a printer/scanner multi-function device.
PPM stands for pages per minute and this is the speed that a printer can print.
Default gateway is our routers IP address, which is not necessary for communication with devices on the LAN.
A user recently purchased a new speaker and is having issues with it. The drivers have been updated and the speaker has been turned on. Which of the following should we check FIRST?
a. Compatability settings
b. OEM Manual
c. Output device
d. Misconfigured cables
D. Misconfigured cables
We want to check the easiest and simpliest solution first, out of these options, this will be to ensure that the speaker is correctly plugged into the right peripheral.
Speakers are typically plug and play devices, so compatability shouldn’t be too big of an issue here.
We have the proper drivers already installed for it, the OEM Manual will most like point to checking the cables during set up.
When a new device is plugged in correctly, your computer will typically ask what type of device it is and would you like to use it.
Which of the following would be used to connect to a switch?
a. RJ11
b. RJ45
c. Coaxial
d. Fiber
B. RJ45
The RJ 45 is used to termanate the ehternet cord, which is the wired connection that is used by end nodes to connect together through the switch.
RJ11 is used with POTS
Coaxial is used to connect us to our ISP.
Fiber is the fastest internet service type, using glass tubes filled with light. Used outside of the LAN.
Which of the following internet types uses SFP?
a. Cable
b. Fiber
c. DSL
d. Dial-Up
B. Fiber
SFP is short for small form factor pluggable, and is used to add fiber connections to routers or switches.
A user wants to make a purchase at a vending machine using their cell phone. Which of the following technologies is being used?
a. NFC
b. Bluetooth
c. Wifi
d. IR
A. NFC
NFC can be used on a debit or credit card, and is also used in cell phones via apple pay or google wallet.
Bluetooth is not meant for payments. Has a max distances of 30 feet.
Wifi is meant for connecting wirelessly to a router.
IR stands for infrared and is used in remote controls.
An end user want to watch a video on their mobile device on their smart tv screen. Which of the following technologies would allow for them to do this wirelessly?
a. Mirroring
b. Casting
c. NFC
d. Bluetooth
B. Casting
Casting is where we can cast our current phone screen to place it on our tv screen.
Mirroring requires us to have some type of wire.
NFC is for wireless payments.
Bluetooth is used for pairing two devices together.
A user wants to read a book without having a physical copy. Which of the following would be best to use?
a. eReader
b. Tablet
c. Cell phone
d. Laptop
A. eReader
An eReader is a basic device that is specifically meant for hosting digital copies of books, eliminating the need for physical copies.
A tablet could be used, but it’s not the BEST answer.

Laptop could be used, but it’s not the BEST answer.
A user needs a light weight device that can easily travel and be easily read in bright areas to read books. Which of the following is the best solution?
a. Tablet
b. eReader

Which of the following is most important for an OS and GUI?
a. Permissions
b. Extenstions
c. Encryption
d. Compression
B. Extension
This would be the correct answer because file extensions are necessary for the os to understand and properly store and run the appropriate files.
Permissions, encryption, compression are not exclusively necessary for and OS or GUI.
A user starts up an application, which of the following best describes this action?
a. Service
b. GUI
c. Process
d. Driver
C. Process
Processes are tasks or applications that we the user start up.
Services happen in the background without user interference.
GUI is the graphical user interface, this is all the icons that typical desktop files and folders that we see.

A user is trying to install a new printer. They’ve plugged it in and have added the product key and connected it to the wifi, but it’s still not working. What is the most likely solution?
a. Restart the process
b. Download the print driver
c. Enter through the CLI
d. Call the printer manufacturer
B. Download the print driver
Printers need to typically have their drivers become manually installed via the manufactures website.
We would not need to restart the process, it’s too vague.
We don’t need to enter through the CLI.
We shouldn’t need to call the printer manufacture if we go online to their site for the driver.
Which of the following allows us to enter commands?
a. GUI
b. CLI
c. Disk management
d. Process management
B. CLI
This is the command line interface used specifically for entering commands directly into the OS shell. Everything that we do in the CLI can be done in the GUI and vise versa.
The GUI takes mouse clicks.
Disk management and process management both work in the GUI.
