You use a Windows 8.1 tablet. The tablet receives Windows Update updates automatically from
the Internet. The tablet has Wi-Fi and is connected to a 3G mobile broadband Wi-Fi hot spot. You
need to minimize data usage while connected to this hot spot. What should you do?

A.
Turn on Airplane Mode.

B.
Disable File and Print Sharing for mobile broadband connections.

C.
Configure the interface metric of IP settings for Wi-Fi connection as 1.

D.
Edit the Inbound Rule of Windows Firewall, and then disable Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) traffic.

E.
Configure the broadband connection as a metered network.

Explanation:
You can limit the bandwidth used by the broadband connection by configuring it as a metered
network. A metered network is a network where data downloaded is `metered’ (measured) and you
are charged for the amount of data downloaded. Setting a connection as metered prevents
Windows from automatically using bandwidth in a number of ways including the following: Disables
automatic downloading of Windows updates: Windows won’t automatically download updates from
Windows Update on metered Internet connections. You’ll get a “Download” button you can click
whenever you want to install updates. Disables automatic downloading of app updates: The
Windows Store won’t automatically download updates for your installed “Store apps” on metered
connections, either. Desktop apps like Chrome, Firefox, and others will continue updating
themselves normally. Tiles may not update: Microsoft says that the live tiles on your Start menu or
Start screen “may” stop updating on a metered connection.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Turning on Airplane Mode would disable the Wi-Fi connection which would prevent you from
connecting to the Internet. It would `minimize data usage’ but you would lose your connection to
the Wi-Fi hotspot.

B: Disabling File and Print Sharing for mobile broadband connections is not best way to minimize
data usage. It is very unlikely that data usage while connected to a 3G mobile broadband Wi-Fi hot
spot is network sharing traffic.
C: Modifying the metric of the Wi-Fi connection will have no effect on the amount of data used.
An interface metric is used to determine which interface will be used when there are multiple active
connections.
D: Disabling Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) traffic on the firewall is not best way to
minimize data usage. The data usage will not be caused by ICMP traffic.
