Answers

1. d – These features make the network self administrating. If you add or move a node the system will automatically recognize it and reconfigure the network accordingly, and if a node or communication path fails data will automatically be rerouted around the problem.
2. d
3. d – There is wireless equipment available that meets the needs of virtually any CCTV, burglary or fire application.
4. d – You should check with the manufacturer you use to determine which of these may be available.
5. b
6. d
7. b – Wireless mesh networks can support any function that a traditional hardwired network can support.
8. b
9. b – Not all transmitters incorporate EOL supervision for all loops.
10. a – Because they can be quickly deployed and do not require extensive wiring or trenching, wireless mesh networks are especially useful for temporary systems.
11. d
12. b – Most wireless mesh networks are self configuring, which allows them to automatically reconfigure the network when devices are added or moved.
13. a – Although equipment costs may be higher, because there is very little wire running necessary, labor costs can be significantly lower compared to using a traditional hardwired approach.
14. b
15. d – The life expectancy of a battery depends upon many factors such as power used, frequency, battery type and how often it transmits. You should check with the manufacturer you use to determine the projected battery life for your systems.
