In a dense warehouse aisle, some scanners cannot hear each other and collide at the AP. Which configurable AP protection feature is commonly used for hidden-node issues?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hidden nodes are like two forklifts around a corner that both think the intersection is clear. RTS/CTS is the AP-configurable 'honk before entering' protection mechanism. Hiding the SSID or enabling WEP does not fix that collision pattern.
Full Explanation
RTS/CTS is a protection mechanism that can be configured on APs to reduce collisions when stations are hidden from each other but visible to the AP. It is listed among advanced AP features technicians may apply from design. Disabling ACKs, SSID hiding, and WEP are not appropriate hidden-node fixes.
