CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 365

A junior network administrator is auditing the company network and notices incrementing input errors on a long-range microwave interface. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the errors?

Answer options

• A. The parabolic signal is misaligned.
• B. The omnidirectional signal is being jammed.
• C. The omnidirectional signal is not strong enough to receive properly.
• D. The parabolic signal uses improper routing protocols.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because misalignment of the parabolic signal can lead to increased input errors due to poor signal reception. Options B and C mention issues with omnidirectional signals, which are not relevant to a parabolic microwave interface. Option D covers routing protocols, which are unrelated to the physical alignment of the signal.
