Mobile Telecommunications Networks Questions
-
Transactional
-
Analytical processing
-
Merge
-
Snapshot
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Transactional replication is the correct answer because BlackBerry Enterprise Solution uses transactional replication to ensure data consistency across the database infrastructure. This type of replication replicates data transactions in real-time, which is essential for an enterprise messaging system where data integrity and synchronization are critical. Analytical processing is not a replication type, while merge and snapshot replication are less suitable for real-time enterprise messaging systems.
-
Blackberry Controller
-
Blackberry messaging Agent
-
Blackberry Dispatcher
-
Blackberry Router
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The BlackBerry Router is responsible for connecting to the wireless network (the BlackBerry Infrastructure) via port 3101. The Dispatcher manages encryption/compression, the Messaging Agent handles mail queues, and the Controller monitors server services.
-
48 hours
-
2 day
-
24 hours
-
4 hours
C
Correct answer
Explanation
24 hours is correct because the BlackBerry State Database (BBSD.nsf) is programmatically configured to be deleted after 24 hours as part of automated maintenance and cleanup routines. This prevents the accumulation of stale state data and helps maintain database performance. The 24-hour window is a standard retention period for temporary state information in the BlackBerry infrastructure.
-
BBprofile.nsf
-
Steadystate.nsf
-
BBSD.nsf
-
none
A
Correct answer
Explanation
BBprofile.nsf is correct because this database file stores information about emails sent to the handheld device and is unique for each user in the BlackBerry system. The BBprofile.nsf file maintains user-specific profile data and message tracking information. Steadystate.nsf and BBSD.nsf serve different purposes (state database and other functions), making BBprofile.nsf the correct answer.
-
MS SQL
-
Oracle
-
SAP
-
none of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The Microsoft BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) configuration database is natively created on MS SQL Server (including MSDE/SQL Server Express). Oracle and SAP are not the default database platforms used for BES configuration storage.
-
BBSD.nsf
-
Bbprofile.nsf
-
BSSD.nsf
-
BBSM.nsf
A
Correct answer
Explanation
BBSD.nsf is the BlackBerry Server Database, which is critical for BES operations. This database stores essential configuration, state, and operational data. While BBprofile.nsf stores user profiles, BBSD.nsf is the core system database required for BES to function.
-
One
-
Two
-
One domino and One SQL
-
none
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server architecture supports a single cluster setup for high availability and load balancing. While multiple servers can exist within that cluster, the fundamental design limits configuration to one cluster per BES deployment. This architectural constraint ensures stable and predictable server communication.
-
Cross Site Request Forgery
-
Sql Injection
-
None of the above
-
Both A and B
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Mobile applications suffer from the same vulnerability classes as web applications. SQL Injection exploits database query weaknesses, and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) tricks users into unwanted actions; both are well-documented in mobile security research.
-
Private Identification Number and Private Unique Key
-
Personal Identification Number and PIN Unlock Key
-
Private Identification Number and PIN Unlock Key
-
Personal Identifcation Number and Personal Unlock Key
B
Correct answer
Explanation
PIN stands for Personal Identification Number, and PUK stands for PIN Unlock Key (also known as Personal Unblocking Key). Distractors misidentify PIN as "Private Identification Number" or PUK as "Private Unique Key" or "Personal Unlock Key," which are incorrect terms in mobile telecommunications.
-
BlueBugging, which lets an attacker make calls on another Bluetooth phone.
-
BlueJacking, which lets an attacker add contacts to a Bluetooth device's phonebook.
-
BlueScolding, which lets an attacker trigger program crashes on a Bluetooth device.
-
BlueSmacking, which crashes a Bluetooth device by sending a "ping-of-death" message.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
BlueBugging, BlueJacking, and BlueSmacking are all documented Bluetooth attack vectors. BlueScolding is not a recognized Bluetooth attack. The name appears to be fabricated for this question.
-
Private Identification Number and Private Unique Key
-
Personal Identification Number and PIN Unlock Key
-
Private Identification Number and PIN Unlock Key
-
Personal Identifcation Number and Personal Unlock Key
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Personal Identification Number and PIN Unlock Key is correct. PIN is the standard acronym for the code you enter to unlock devices. PUK stands for PIN Unlock Key, which is used to unlock the device when the wrong PIN is entered too many times. The distractors incorrectly use 'Private' or confuse the 'U' in PUK.
-
Border
-
Beacon
-
Standard
-
EC
C
Correct answer
Explanation
In cellular networks, Standard cell types are used for soft handoff scenarios. Soft handoff allows a mobile device to communicate with multiple base stations simultaneously during transition, and Standard cells are designed to support this seamless handover mechanism. Border, Beacon, and EC (Emergency Center) cell types serve other purposes.
-
Increase bandwidth
-
Reduce packet size
-
Add accelerator hardware when transporting secure data
-
Improve performance on nodes within the network so the data is more readily available
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Increasing bandwidth, adding accelerator hardware for secure data, and improving node performance all directly address network bottlenecks. Reducing packet size actually increases overhead due to more packets requiring headers and acknowledgments, potentially worsening performance rather than improving it.
-
Points per inch
-
Pixels per inch
-
All of Above
-
None of above
B
Correct answer
Explanation
PPI in mobile computing stands for 'Pixels Per Inch', which measures screen resolution and display density. 'Points per inch' is a typesetting term. PPI affects how sharp text and images appear on mobile device screens.
-
Numeric Keypad
-
Touch
-
QWERTY Keypad
-
All of above
-
None of above
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Mobile devices support multiple input methods including touchscreens (most common), numeric keypads (feature phones, dialers), and QWERTY keypads (physical or virtual keyboards). The 'All of above' option correctly reflects this variety.
