What is a valid reason to continue using older wireless networking technologies?
Legacy Support:The primary reason to continue using older wireless technologies is the need to connect with devices that don't support newer standards (e.g., old sensors or equipment).
Other Reasons (Not as Strong):
Cost:Replacing legacy devices can be expensive.
Reliability:Some legacy technologies might be well-proven in specific settings.
You must ensure proper security controls are in place for a wireless solution. The solution allows for the use of groups to grant access to resources and capabilities. What is the term used to describe a situation where an individual is granted more access than required because of inclusion in a group?
Privilege Creep Defined:Gradual accumulation of excessive permissions over time, often due to users changing roles or access needs not being adjusted accordingly.
Other Terms:
Privilege Escalation: A malicious act of obtaining higher-than-authorized access.
Improper Delegation/Grouping: Faulty permission assignment, but not the gradual accretion aspect.

In a wireless link, as the signal strength decreases, what else may decrease?
Signal Strength and Data Rate:In wireless links, weaker signal strength often directly correlates to reduced transmission speeds. Modern wireless technologies use adaptive modulation and coding, sacrificing speed for reliability when signals become weaker.
Noise and Interference:While thesecanimpact performance, they don't inherently decrease simply because signal strength drops.
Latency:Latency can be affected by poor signal, but its primary drivers are distance and network congestion.

Among these choices, what is the most common reason administrators use scripting during the deployment of a wireless solution?
Automation for Consistency:Scripts eliminate the potential for human error during repetitive configuration tasks on multiple devices. This ensures uniformity across the wireless solution.
Speed and Efficiency:Scripts can be much faster than manual configuration, particularly in large deployments.
Other Benefits:While scriptsmightaid signal strength (e.g., optimizing settings) or enhance solution capabilities, their core value in configuration is reducing errors.

Configuration Management Best Practices:Emphasize the importance of consistency and repeatability.
What scripting language works natively inside of nearly all modern Web browsers and may also be used for automation within some wireless solutions, such as Node-RED?
Browser Ubiquity:JavaScript has a native runtime environment within almost every modern web browser, making it the 'built-in' scripting language for web-based interfaces.
Node-RED:This IoT flow-based programming tool specifically uses JavaScript for its logic and automation functions.
Other Languages:
PHP: Primarily server-side for web applications
Python: Versatile language, used in some back-end IoT functions but not natively in browsers
R: Statistical and data analysis, not typically embedded in wireless solutions
