Difficulty: EasyMobile Device Wireless and Network Connectivity

A smartphone user needs to manually connect to a hidden corporate Wi-Fi network protected by WPA2-Personal security. Which TWO settings must be manually specified on the mobile device to successfully join this wireless network? (Select TWO.)

  1. Service Set Identifier (SSID)Answer
  2. Pre-shared wireless passphraseAnswer
  3. C
    International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)
  4. D
    Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) subnet range
  5. E
    Incoming IMAP server port number (993)

Answer

The two parameters required to manually connect a mobile device to a hidden WPA2-Personal Wi-Fi network are the Service Set Identifier (SSID) and the pre-shared wireless passphrase.
Connecting to a hidden wireless network requires manually providing the network name (SSID) because the access point does not advertise it publicly. Additionally, standard WPA2-Personal security requires the corresponding pre-shared passphrase to authenticate the device and enable encryption.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the requirement for connecting to a non-broadcasting (hidden) wireless network.
Recognize that because the access point does not broadcast its network name, the Service Set Identifier (SSID) must be typed manually.
Without broadcasting, the mobile device cannot automatically detect the network name in available network lists.
2
Identify the authentication requirement for WPA2-Personal security.
Determine that the network pre-shared key (wireless passphrase) must be supplied.
WPA2-Personal uses a shared passphrase to authenticate clients and encrypt wireless traffic.
