CHSOS practice question · Domain II · Simulation Technology Operations
A manikin controlled by a tablet over Wi-Fi loses connection each time a large learner group enters the room with phones and laptops. Which action addresses the root cause?
- Move the simulator link to a dedicated access point or channel separated from guest traffic
- Replace the manikin battery before each session
- Increase the tablet screen brightness
- Disable the room audio capture system
Choose the one best answer, then open the explanation.
Show answer and explanation
Best answer: A. Move the simulator link to a dedicated access point or channel separated from guest traffic
The pattern points to wireless congestion or interference from learner devices. A dedicated access point, isolated SSID, or wired link removes the competition. Battery, screen, and audio changes do not affect the wireless channel.
