• An outdoor transit-stop AP includes heaters and multiple radios. Before install day, what PoE check should the technician perform against the design?
• A volunteer at a community center offers a cheap “passive PoE” injector for a standards-based city AP that expects IEEE 802.3 negotiation. What should the technician do?
• On a municipal closet sketch, an AP hangs from a PoE injector that sits between a non-PoE switch and the AP. How should those roles be labeled?
• A clinic AP worked on an injector-fed drop. After a tech moves the same patch to a different non-PoE switch port with no injector, the AP has link LEDs dark and stays off. What does this illustrate?
• The county WLAN design lists AP-12 on channel 44 at 15 dBm. During install, what should the technician configure for that AP’s radio?
• The city library design packet shows AP-07 mounted on a specific ceiling grid tile at a stated height and orientation. What should the technician do on install day?
• A courthouse design specifies WPA3-Enterprise on the staff SSID. The on-site technician finds WPA2-Personal easier to type. What is the correct action?

• A recreation-center design requires the guest SSID to stop visitor devices from communicating directly with each other through the AP. Which setting implements that requirement?
• AP-11 and AP-12 were designed on non-overlapping channels. A technician mistakenly sets AP-12 to AP-11’s channel, and staff report slow performance near both. What should the technician do first?
• A new city hall AP ships with transmit power at maximum. The design calls for a lower dBm value to limit overcoverage. What should the technician configure?
• The install sheet maps AP-04 to switch Closet-B port Gi1/0/12 on the staff access VLAN. The AP is powered but serves the wrong network segment. What physical/install step was likely skipped?
• A temporary event SSID at the fairgrounds needs a PSK listed only in the sealed design appendix. The booth lead asks the technician to “just make one up.” What should the technician do?
• Facilities asks for a third SSID named CityIoT on a newly installed AP. The approved design lists only CityStaff and CityGuest. What should the technician do?
• The design enables client isolation on CityGuest but explicitly disables it on CityStaff so wireless printers can be reached by peer laptops. How should the technician set isolation?
