    • Troubleshoot breakpoint 1.

    • Determine the status of the user's modem lights.

    • Troubleshoot breakpoint 3.

    Correct Answer
    A. Look for problems with the user's e-mail configuration.
    Explanation
    In this scenario, the customer is experiencing difficulty sending emails from Outlook but their browser is functioning properly. This suggests that the issue is specific to the email configuration within Outlook. By looking for problems with the user's email configuration, you can identify any settings or preferences that may be causing the problem. This could include checking for incorrect server settings, authentication issues, or any other configuration errors that may be preventing the emails from being sent. Troubleshooting the email configuration is the logical starting point to address the customer's complaint.

    Which of the following is NOT a sync/ no surf solution?

    • Check for EMI/RFI

    • Power cycle CPE

    • Troubleshoot browser

    • Reboot computers

    Correct Answer
    A. Check for EMI/RFI
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Check for EMI/RFI." EMI stands for electromagnetic interference and RFI stands for radio frequency interference. These terms refer to disturbances that can affect the performance of electronic devices. In the context of a sync/no surf solution, checking for EMI/RFI would not be a relevant step as it does not directly address the issue of syncing or internet connectivity. The other options, such as power cycling CPE, troubleshooting the browser, and rebooting computers, are all potential solutions to address sync or internet connectivity problems.

    Correct Answer
    A. A problem with one of the customer's Internet applications.
    Explanation
    If the breakpoints method has been followed to the last breakpoint, it suggests that the issue is not related to the authentication problem with the AT&T network, the modem's sync status, or a network infrastructure issue between the DSLAM and the customer's location. Instead, it indicates that the problem lies with one of the customer's Internet applications.

    • An application, virus, or ISP software modification of Winsock files

    • Not having cleaned the computer for spyware

    • Proper computer shutdowns or reboots

    • All items listed

    Correct Answer
    A. An application, virus, or ISP software modification of Winsock files
    Explanation
    An application, virus, or ISP software modification of Winsock files can cause a Winsock problem. These issues can occur when an application improperly modifies the Winsock files, a virus infects the Winsock files, or the ISP software modifies the Winsock files in a way that disrupts their normal functioning. These problems can result in network connectivity issues and other network-related errors.

    At what breakpoint would you discover that the customer has installed a new fax machine on the line?

    • Breakpoint 2: Verifying Sync

    • Breakpoint 6: Applications

    • Breakpoint 3: Verifying LAN IP

    • Breakpoint 1: Probing Applications

    Correct Answer
    A. Breakpoint 2: Verifying Sync
    Explanation
    At Breakpoint 2: Verifying Sync, you would discover that the customer has installed a new fax machine on the line. This is because verifying sync involves checking the synchronization between the customer's equipment and the network. When a new device like a fax machine is added to the line, it would require synchronization with the network, and this verification process would detect the presence of the new fax machine.

    Which of the following should you do if the modem does not regain sync?

    • Turn off and unplug all telephones.

    • Remove all devices from the HSI line, including the modem.

    • None of items listed

    • Leave all telephones turned on and plugged in.

    Correct Answer
    A. Turn off and unplug all telephones.
    Explanation
    If the modem does not regain sync, turning off and unplugging all telephones can help troubleshoot the issue. This is because sometimes the phone line can interfere with the modem's signal, causing it to lose sync. By disconnecting the telephones, any potential interference can be eliminated, allowing the modem to regain sync. Removing all devices from the HSI line, including the modem, may not be necessary as the issue could be solely related to the telephones. Leaving all telephones turned on and plugged in would not help resolve the problem.
