CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 555

A network technician needs to configure a device with an embedded OS so it can be connected to a wireless handheld scanner. Which of the following technologies should be configured on the OS to create the wireless connection?

Answer options

• A. Partial mesh
• B. Ad hoc
• C. Ring
• D. Bus

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Ad hoc, as it allows devices to connect directly to each other without the need for a central access point, which is ideal for connecting a handheld scanner to an embedded OS device. The other options, such as Partial mesh, Ring, and Bus, represent different network topologies that do not provide the direct connectivity required in this scenario.
