Parameter

 

Description

 

 

 

Power Save Mode

Sets your client adapter to its optimum power consumption setting.

 

 

Options: CAM (Constantly Awake Mode), Fast PSP (Power Save

 

 

Mode), or Max PSP (Max Power Saving)

 

 

Default: CAM (Constantly Awake Mode)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power Save Mode

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAM (Constantly Awake

Keeps the client adapter powered up

 

 

Mode)

continuously so there is little lag in

 

 

 

message response time.

 

 

 

Consumes the most power but offers the

 

 

 

highest throughput. Is recommended for

 

 

 

desktop computers and devices that use

 

 

 

AC power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fast PSP (Power Save

Switches between PSP mode and CAM

 

 

Mode)

mode, depending on network traffic. This

 

 

 

mode switches to CAM when retrieving a

 

 

 

large number of packets and switches back

 

 

 

to PSP after the packets have been

 

 

 

retrieved.

 

 

 

Is recommended when power consumption

 

 

 

is a concern but you need greater

 

 

 

throughput than that allowed by Max PSP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Max PSP (Max Power

Causes the access point to buffer incoming

 

 

Saving)

messages for the client adapter, which

 

 

 

wakes up periodically and polls the access

 

 

 

point to see if any buffered messages are

 

 

 

waiting for it. The adapter can request

 

 

 

each message and then go back to sleep.

 

 

 

Conserves the most power but offers the

 

 

 

lowest throughput. Is recommended for

 

 

 

devices for which power consumption is

 

 

 

the ultimate concern (such as small

 

 

 

battery-powered devices).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note If this profile is configured for use in an ad hoc network, CAM

 

 

mode is used automatically.
