Advantek Networks AWN-USB-54S manual

Profile Name: Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify the different network.

SSID: The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. You may specify a SSID for the adapter and then only the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the adapter. If you want to add the network nearby to the profile list, pull down the menu, the entire network will be listed for you to add one of them to the profile list.

PSM (Power Saving Mode): The power saving function is only available when the network type is in Infrastructure mode.

CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) – The adapter will always set in active mode.

PSM (Power Saving Mode) – Enable the adapter in the power saving mode when it is idle.
