Figure 3-3. Configuration
Description of items in Figure
Profile Name: Users can save different profiles names for different configurations.
SSID: Select the AP detected by the system from the
(Default: ANY)
Power Saving mode: Select “Power Saving Mode” (PSM) to turn off the Adapter’s transceiver when not in use, or select CAM to continuously turn on transceivers. (Default: OFF)
Network Type: “Infrastructure” and “802.11 Ad Hoc”. When Infrastructure network type is chosen, PSM will function but not Preamble. On the contrary, when Ad hoc type is chosen, Preamble will function but not PSM. Also, the Channel option will appear and 802.1X Authentication will be disabled. (Default: Infrastructure)
TX Power: Select percentage of transmitted power. (Default: Auto)
RTS Threshold: This is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem, “Hidden Node” is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other and can not detect each other. This mechanism is a way to prevent data collision when Adapters require transmission. (Default: OFF)
Fragment Threshold: Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency
when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. (Default: OFF)
3-1-2. Authentication and Security Screen:
If an authentication or security setting is configured in your Access Point or router, you must enable this function to ensure successful connection. Use the following tab to configure data security and ID authentication (see Figure
