A home owner recently installed an IoT smart plug that was designed to be controlled over the internet. After a couple of days the home owner notices a new wireless name of Outlet4375 appears when they attempt to connect a smartphone to the house wireless network. Which statement identifies the situation that is occurring?

• The smart plug will always broadcast the Outlet4375 wireless name for management connections.
• The wireless network name of Outlet4375 is a wireless network used for securely isolating the network traffic of the smart plug.
• The smart plug was never connected to the home Wi-Fi and is awaiting a connection on the Outlet4375 wireless network.
• The home Wi-Fi network name should be changed to match the Outlet4375 wireless network name in order to activate the smart plug.

Explanation: In order for a smart plug to be controlled over the internet, it must connect to the home Wi-Fi network. The smart plug will commonly set up a promiscuous mode hot spot that can be identified by the cell phone app of the vendor or the PC software to allow the buyer to connect to the smart plug and configure it to access the home Wi-Fi network.
