A user is attempting to connect a streaming media device to a hotel's tree wireless internet However, the user is unable to pass through the captive portal. Which of the following would MOST likely allow the user to connect the device to the internet?
Correct Answer:
A
A captive portal is a web page that requires users to agree to terms and conditions, enter credentials, or provide payment information before accessing a wireless network. Some devices, such as streaming media devices, may not have a web browser or a user interface to interact with the captive portal. One possible solution is to connect to the hotspot on the user’s device, such as a smartphone or a tablet, and use it as a bridge to access the internet through the wireless network. The user’s device can authenticate with the captive portal and share its internet connection with other devices via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB.

A technician is configuring the settings on a multifunction printer so the device can be shared across the LAN_ Which of the following should the technician do to enable the printer to be shared across the network?
Correct Answer:
B
To enable the printer to be shared across the network, the technician should configure the IP settings of the printer. The IP settings include the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server of the printer. The IP settings allow the printer to communicate with other devices on the network and access network resources such as print servers or cloud services.
The technician can configure the IP settings of the printer in different ways, such as:
✑ Using the printer’s control panel or web interface to manually enter the IP settings or obtain them automatically from a DHCP server.
✑ Using the printer’s software or driver to assign a static or dynamic IP address to the printer.
✑ Using a network discovery tool to find and configure the printer on the network. The technician should also make sure that the IP settings of the printer are compatible with the network configuration and do not cause any conflicts or errors.

Users report that all copies produced on a copter have a solid black line, but printing is unaffected. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?
Correct Answer:
B
A scratch on the scanning bed of a copier can cause a solid black line to appear on all copies, as the scanner cannot read the original document properly through the scratch. The scratch can also reflect light and create noise in the scanned image. The printing function is unaffected by the scratch, as it does not use the scanning bed. The technician should inspect and clean the scanning bed, and replace it if necessary. Reference: https://partners.comptia.org/docs/default-source/resources/a-core-1-content- guide (page 16)

UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, and it is a type of firmware that controls the boot process of a computer. UEFI settings allow the technician to configure various aspects of the boot process, such as the boot order, the boot mode, and the security options. If the technician replaces a laptop hard drive with an M.2 SSD, they may need to adjust the UEFI settings to enable the system to detect and boot from the new drive.
