CWNA Chapter 1 UPDATED Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
IEEE acronym - CORRECT ANSWER - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers
Ieee 802.11 - CORRECT ANSWER - more commonly referred to as Wi- Fi, is a standard
technology for providing local area network (LAN) communications using radio frequencies
(RFs).
WECA acronym - CORRECT ANSWER - Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance
IEEE - CORRECT ANSWER - creates standards for compatibility and coexistence
between networking equipment. The IEEE standards must adhere to the rules of the
communications organizations, such as the FCC.
ITU-R acronym - CORRECT ANSWER - International Telecommunication Union
Radiocommunication Sector
FCC acronym - CORRECT ANSWER - Federal Communications Commission
ITU-R and FCC - CORRECT ANSWER - set the rules for what the user can do with a
radio transmitter. These organizations manage and regulate frequencies, power levels, and
transmission methods. They also work together to help guide the growth and expansion that is
being demanded by wireless users.
IETF acronym - CORRECT ANSWER - Internet Engineering Task Force
IETF - CORRECT ANSWER - is responsible for creating Internet standards. Many of
these standards are integrated into the wireless networking and security protocols and standards.
, Wi- Fi Alliance - CORRECT ANSWER - performs certification testing to make sure
wireless networking equipment conforms to the 802.11 WLAN communication guidelines,
which are similar to the IEEE 802.11- 2012 standard.
ISO - CORRECT ANSWER - International Organization for Standardization
FCC - CORRECT ANSWER - regulates communications within the United States as well
as communications to and from the United States.
licensed and unlicensed communications are typically regulated in the following areas -
CORRECT ANSWER - Frequency Bandwidth, Maximum power of the intentional
radiator (IR), Maximum equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP), Use (indoor and/or
outdoor), Spectrum sharing rules
CFR acronym - CORRECT ANSWER - Code of federal regulations
CFR - CORRECT ANSWER - Name of FCC regulations The CFR is divided into 50 titles
that are updated yearly. The title that is relevant to wireless networking is Title 47,
Telecommunications . Title 47 is divided into many parts; Part 15, "Radio Frequency Devices," is
where you will find the rules and regulations regarding wireless networking related to 802.11.
Part 15 is further broken down into subparts and sections. A complete reference will look like
this example: 47CFR15.3.
ISO OSI LAYER 7 - CORRECT ANSWER - Application
ISO OSI LAYER 6 - CORRECT ANSWER - Presentation
ISO OSI LAYER 5 - CORRECT ANSWER - Session
ISO OSI LAYER 4 - CORRECT ANSWER - Transport
