CompTIA 220-1101 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 871:

  A customer's Windows tablet PC was dropped and is no longer responding to touch input on the left half of the screen. The screen protector has several scratches. but the glass is not broken. Which of the following should a technician do to diagnose the issue?

  A. Test the digitizer
  B. Update the device drivers.
  C. Replace the damaged screen protector
  D. Perform a factory reset.
  A. Test the digitizer

  ---

  Explanation

  The digitizer is the component that converts the touch input into electrical signals that are processed by the tablet. If the digitizer is damaged or malfunctioning, it may not register the touch input correctly or at all. The technician can test the digitizer using a diagnostic tool or by replacing it with a known good one. Updating the device drivers, replacing the damaged screen protector, or performing a factory reset are unlikely to fix the issue, as they do not address the hardware problem.

• Question 872:

  A technician is conducting the following tests on a laptop with a wireless NIC:

  1.ping of the default gateway

  2.ping of the localhost

  3.tracert of the IP address of the default gateway

  Which of the following will the technician find by running these tests? (Choose two.)

  A. DNS suffix
  B. Connection latency
  C. Firewall status
  D. Wireless signal strength
  E. Subnet mask of the network
  F. MAC address of the wireless NIC
  B. Connection latency
  E. Subnet mask of the network

  ---

  Explanation

  Connection latency: The ping tests (ping of the default gateway and ping of the localhost) will help determine the latency or delay in establishing communication with these destinations. Higher latency could indicate network congestion or connectivity issues.

  Subnet mask of the network: Traceroute (tracert) to the IP address of the default gateway will provide information about the path taken by packets to reach the default gateway. Additionally, it may reveal details about the subnet mask used in the network configuration.

• Question 873:

  A company is deploying tablets to all branch offices. The company needs a way to set security settings and configure which applications can be installed on the tablets. Which of the following is the best way for the company to remotely perform these tasks?

  A. SSH
  B. RDP
  C. VPN
  D. MDM
  D. MDM

  ---

  Explanation

  MDM solutions allow centralized management of mobile devices, including tablets, enabling administrators to remotely configure security settings, control access to applications, enforce compliance policies, and perform other management tasks across multiple devices and locations. It provides a convenient and efficient way to ensure consistency, security, and compliance across the tablet fleet.

• Question 874:

  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?

  A. Install the correct print driver
  B. Configure the IP settings.
  C. Enable the web services.
  D. Enable the network scanning feature.
  B. Configure the IP settings.

  ---

  Explanation

  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.

• Question 875:

  Which of the following wireless technologies would a company most likely implement for inventory management?

  A. NFC
  B. 5G
  C. Bluetooth
  D. RFID
  D. RFID

  ---

  Explanation

  RFD stands for Radio Frequency Identification, which is a technology that uses radio waves to identify and track objects that have RFID tags attached to them. RFID tags are small devices that store information and can be read by RFID readers without direct contact or line of sight. RFID can be used for inventory management, as it can provide real-time visibility and accuracy of the location, quantity, and status of the items in a warehouse, store, or supply chain .

• Question 876:

  Which of the following solutions can help users who have the current Windows operating systems run legacy applications that are not supported under the latest applications?

  A. AppLocker
  B. Type 1 hypervisors
  C. Sandbox
  D. Application virtualization
  B. Type 1 hypervisors

  ---

  Explanation

• Question 877:

  A hardware technician is configuring a laptop, and the network administrator requires the network settings to be static. The technician successfully pings the servers by IP address but cannot ping the UNC path. Which of the following is the cause of this issue?

  A. Domain Name System
  B. Gateway
  C. Subnet
  D. IP address
  A. Domain Name System

  ---

  Explanation

  The cause of the issue is likely due to a DNS resolution issue. While the technician can ping the servers by IP address, they cannot ping the UNC path, indicating an issue with the name resolution. This can be resolved by configuring the correct DNS server settings.

• Question 878:

  DRAG DROP

  An office manager reports that a printer is experiencing performance issues. Printouts are smudging when they are handled, and. recently, whenever the manager tries to print oversized documents, the paper jams before anything is printed on it.

  Select and Place:

  

  

• Question 879:

  A user built a new PC with parts sourced torn a popular online vendor. The system boots to the OS and basic browsing works, but whenever the user opens a 4K video or starts to play a game, the system Immediately shuts down. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

  A. The video card was Installed in the wrong PCIe slot.
  B. The CPU heat sink was attached without adequate thermal paste.
  C. The SSD drives do not have enough Pagefile.
  D. The system does not have enough RAM tor 4K video.
  B. The CPU heat sink was attached without adequate thermal paste.

  ---

  Explanation

  Thermal paste is a substance that fills in any gaps between a CPU and its heat sink, which is a device that dissipates heat from the CPU. Without adequate thermal paste, the CPU may overheat and cause the system to shut down

  automatically to prevent damage. This is especially likely when running 4K video or games, which are more demanding and generate more heat. The technician should check if the CPU heat sink was attached properly and apply enough

  thermal paste to ensure good contact and heat transfer.
