Which feature is characteristic of MAC filtering in wireless networks? It restricts computer access to a wireless network. It encrypts data that is transmitted on a wireless network. It is configured on the computer rather than on the router. It allows only authorized users to detect the network.
A MAC filtering restricts computer access to a wireless network by only allowing devices with authorized MAC addresses to connect to the network. It does not prevent unauthorized users from detecting the network, as detecting the network is based on the wireless network name (SSID) broadcasting from the router. Unauthorized users can still detect the network, but they cannot connect to it unless their device's MAC address has been authorized by the network administrator. Therefore, option A is correct and option D is not correct.

A basic unit of information that represents one of two discrete states is known as a:
A) Octet: An octet is a group of eight bits. It is often used synonymously with the term "byte," although technically, a byte can consist of a varying number of bits depending on the specific computer system or context. In general, a byte is composed of 8 bits in most modern computer systems. B) Bit: As explained earlier, a bit is the basic unit of information in digital systems, representing one of two discrete states (0 or 1). Bits are used to store, process, and transmit data in computing and digital communication systems. C) Byte: A byte is a group of bits, commonly consisting of 8 bits, that represent a single character, number, or symbol in a computer system. Bytes are larger units of information than bits and are used to measure data storage capacity and data transfer rates. D) Electrical Signal: An electrical signal is a physical representation of data, typically in the form of voltage or current fluctuations. While electrical signals are used to transmit bits and other units of digital data, they are not the basic unit of information themselves.

What can be placed inside of or on a package so that it can be tracked?
A) RFID tag: As explained earlier, RFID tags are small devices that use radio waves to communicate with RFID readers, allowing for real-time tracking of packages. They are commonly used in supply chain management, inventory control, and asset tracking. B) Sensor: Sensors are devices that detect and respond to changes in their environment, such as temperature, humidity, or pressure. While they can provide valuable information about the conditions a package is exposed to during transit, they do not inherently enable package tracking. C) Actuator: Actuators are devices that convert an input signal (such as an electrical signal) into physical motion or action. They are commonly used in robotics and industrial automation but do not provide tracking capabilities for packages. D) Network Interface Card: A Network Interface Card (NIC) is a hardware component that connects a computer or other device to a network, enabling communication with other devices on that network. While NICs are essential for network connectivity, they are not used for tracking packages.
