Edit Parameters
Network type (Ad Hoc Mode)
This mode is used to set up a small, temporary network between two or more computers. For example, you might set up an ad hoc network between computers in a conference room so users can share information in a meeting.
Constant Awake Mode (CAM)
Constant Awake Mode is the normal mode for desktop machines or other machines where power consumption is not an issue. It keeps the radio powered up continu- ously so there is little latency for responding to messages. This mode is recommended for devices where high availability is desired.
Power Save Mode
Power Save Mode is recommended for devices where power consumption is a major concern, such as small battery powered devices. If the client node is powered from an AC line, PSP should not be used. Power Save Mode causes the Access Point to buffer incoming mes- sages. The Aironet 4000 Series Wireless LAN Adapter must wake up periodically and poll the Access Point to see if there are any buffered messages waiting. The PC Card can request each message and then go back to sleep.
Fast Power Save Mode
Fast Power Save Mode (Fast PSP Mode) switches between PSP and CAM based on network traffic. When retrieving a high number of packets, Fast PSP Mode will switch to CAM to retrieve the packets. Once the packets are retrieved, it switches back to PSP.
