is in Infrastructure.

 

CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) – The adaptor will always set in

 

active mode.

 

PSM (Power Saving Mode) – Enable the adaptor in the power

 

saving mode when it is idle.

Network Type

Infrastructure – This operation mode requires the presence of an

 

802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access

 

Point or Router.

 

Ad-Hoc– Select this mode if you want to connect to another

 

wireless stations in the Wireless LAN network without through an

 

Access Point or Router.

TX Power

If you want to lower the transmit power of the adaptor for saving the

 

power of the system, you can select the lower percentages from the

 

list. The lower power will cause the lower signal strength and the

 

coverage range.

Ad Hoc Wireless Mode

When the adaptor is set in Ad Hoc (Peer to Peer Mode), you can

 

designate the wireless connection mode for the Ad Hoc network.

 

802.11 B only – This adaptor can be compatible with both 802.11g

 

and 802.11b wireless stations. If there are only 802.11b wireless

 

stations in the network, you can set the adaptor to this mode.

 

802.11 B/G mix – If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g

 

wireless stations in your network, it is recommended to set the

 

adaptor to this mode. This mode is also the default setting.

 

802.11 G only – This adaptor can be compatible with both 802.11g

 

and 802.11b wireless stations. If there are only 802.11g wireless

 

stations in the network, you can set the adaptor to this mode.

Preamble

The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for

 

communication among wireless devices. This option is only active

 

in the Ad Hoc network.

 

There are two modes including Auto and Long Preamble. If

 

“Auto“ mode is selected, the adaptor will auto switch the preamble

 

mode depending on the wireless devices the adaptor is connecting

 

to.
