6MOTOTRBO IP Site Connect allows the connection of up to 15 repeaters to form a wide area conventional network. One of these repeaters is configured as a Master and the remainder as Peers. If an additional Peer is added, what will the network do?
- AContinue working with some issues.
- BProbably stop working.
- CProbably continue working, but the reliability cannot be assured.
- DNone of these.
7The repeaters on Site 1 are both configured as master repeaters. This is an IP Site Connect network. Which of the below statements best describes how the Router needs to be set up? The top repeater is called Master Repeater 1 and the bottom is called Master Repeater 2.

- AStatic IP Address on WAN port (either public or via VPN). Master Repeater 1 uses UDP port 50000. Master Repeater 2 uses UDP port 50001. The Router forwards UDP port 50000-50100 to the LAN.
- BStatic IP Address on WAN port (either public or via VPN). Both repeaters use a static IP address on the LAN. Master Repeater 1 uses UDP port 50000. Master Repeater 2 uses UDP port 50001. The Router forwards UDP port 50000 to master IP address 1 and UDP port 50000 and UDP port 50001 to Master IP address 2.
- CNone of these.
8The diagram shows three possible antenna configurations. Assuming the frequency separation allows it, which of these options would be the best choice?

- AA
- BB
- CC
9Which of the below statements best describe what is de-sensing and how would one confirm the presence of it?
- ADe-sensing occurs when a high level RF signal interferes with a receiver's ability to receive a weaker signal. We can check this by turning off the offending repeaters one by one to see which one is causing it.
- BDe-sensing occurs when a high level RF signal is present on the receiving radio's antenna and causes the receiver's RF amplifier to be overloaded resulting in the reduction of measured sensitivity.
- CDe-sensing occurs when a high level RF signal is present on the receiving radio's antenna and causes the receiver's RF amplifier to be overloaded resulting in the reduction of measured sensitivity. The presence can be confirmed by testing the sensitivity via an isolated-tee bridge.
- DDe-sensing occurs when a high level RF signal interferes with a receiver's ability to receive a weaker signal. The presence can be confirmed by testing the sensitivity via an isolated-tee bridge.
10Which one of the below statements best describe how Manual Site Roam works, in IP Site Connect?
- AA button, called Manual Site Roam, can be programmed on the radio. When the user presses this button, the radio will send a wake-up message on all the channels in the roam list. If a repeater is present on that channel, it will respond with a beacon which allows the radio to measure the signal strength. The radio then forms a list of roamed channels and roams to the next available channel.
- BThe radio will use Manual Site Roam when no signal is received while the radio is in a passive roam state. Here the radio will go through all the channels and send a wake -up message. If a repeater is present on that channel, it will respond with a beacon which allows the radio to measure the signal strength. The radio then forms a list of roamed channels and roams to the strongest signal.
- CNone of these describe manual site roaming.
- DA button, called Manual Site Roam, can be programmed on the radio. When the user presses this button, the radio will send a wake-up message on all the channels in the roam list. If a repeater is within RF range on that channel, it will respond with a beacon which allows the radio to measure the signal strength. The radio then forms a list of roamed channels and roams to the next available channel.

- AThe radio will open it's squelch much sooner.
- BThe radio will be more sensitive.
- CThe radio will be blocked more often due to noise.
- DUnder noisy conditions, the radio may mistake noise as a valid signal and will thus regard the channel as busy.
16You have set up a system so that the repeaters can be programmed remotely. However when you connect to the Master using the CPS, you are unable to read any of the repeaters. The system works perfectly and port forwarding is set up correctly. You are able to ping all the Routers. You are able to connect to the Master and can get the list of peers and their respective IP addresses using RDAC. You have confirmed that all UDP ports are being forwarded.

- ATCP Port 50100 is not being forwarded in the Router.
- BUDP Port 50000 is not being forwarded in the Router.
- CThe problem is definitely not in the Router setup.
- DThe CPS ID is wrong.
17Whenever you are in the office, and try to read a radio, the CPS gives error code 595. When you go onto a customers site or work from home, the CPS works perfectly. Which of these statements would be a likely cause? (Tick all that apply)
- AThere is an IP address conflict between the radio and Wireless LAN and/or (Wired) LAN. Unplug the LAN cable, disable the WiFi card in your PC and try again?
- BThere is an IP address conflict between the radio and Wireless LAN and/or (Wired) LAN. Change the IP address of the radio.
- CThe version of CPS you are using is too old, upgrade.
- DThe 100kW medium wave transmitter located next door is interfering with communications on the USB port.

- ATrue
- BFalse
19A customer has a PMKN4012A programming cable. They plug this cable into the PC but cannot understand why a driver is NOT installed. Why is this?
- AThere is no 'electronics' in the cable. The driver will be installed when a radio is connected.
- BThe ADS chip in the cable remains disabled until a radio is connected.
- CNo driver is required.

20A customer calls you and complains that the location of one of their vehicles is shown about 100m off the road, on their tracking application, while the drivers swears he is on the road. What could be the reasons for this?
- AThe driver is lying!
- BThe map data is faulty. The customers understanding of GPS orginiates from car navigation systems and expects the tracking application to automatically snap the vehicles position to the nearest road (just like it does in their car navigation system).
- CThe GPS receiver in the radio is not getting signal from many satellites and hence the GDOP is poor.
- DNone of these.
21Which of these radios can be programmed via OTAP?

- BNo, it is not possible to scan and roam.
24A customer wants to implement MOTOTRBO but they also want to use their analogue two-way radios until they have budget to replace these. They have purchased a repeater and some MOTOTRBO radios.
What can be done in the repeater and radios to support MOTOTRBO and analogue users?
What do we need to be careful about when it comes to the configuration?- AUse Dynamic Mixed Mode
- BEnsure that the analogue radios use PL
- CEnsure that in analogue mode, all radios use PL.
- DEnsure that in analogue mode, the repeater and all radios use PL.
- EUse PL, but avoid 67,0 and 103,5Hz as these sometimes cause older analogue radios to un-mute to DMR signals.
- FUse PL (and avoid 67,0 and 103,5Hz) or DPL as provisioning the repeater with CSQ mode may result in it getting stuck in analogue repeat mode during times of interference.
25You are about to design a new Linked Capacity Plus system, tick all the tings you need to be mindful of when it comes to the configuration?
- AA Router which supports NAT loopback is required.
- BOne Router is required on each site.
- CThe requirement for a static, public IP address can be avoided by means of VLANs and VPN.
- DThe number of repeaters on each site does not need to be the same.
- EIf the site, with the smallest number of channels, is completely busied, no other calls can be placed, other than emergency or a call which is set up via transmit interrupt.
