Parameter | Description |
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. |
| |
| wireless station in the Wireless LAN network without going |
| through an Access Point or Router. Peer to Peer. |
Transmit Power | If you wish to lower the transmit power of the card to save the |
| power of your system, you can select the lower percentages from |
| the list. |
11B Preamble Type | The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for |
| communication among wireless stations. 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 card will auto switch the preamble |
| mode depending on the wireless stations which the card is |
| connecting to. |
RTS Threshold | Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To Send). For |
| packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the |
| packet is transmitted directly to the wireless network. Select a |
| setting within a range of 0 to 2312 bytes. Minor change is |
| recommended. |
Fragment Threshold | The value defines the maximum size of packets; any packet size |
| larger than the value will be fragmented. If you have decreased |
| this value and experience high packet error rates, you can |
| increase it again, but it will likely decrease overall network |
| performance. Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2312 bytes. |
| Minor change is recommended. |
Channel | This setting is only available for Ad Hoc mode. Select the number |
| of the radio channel used for the networking. The channel setting |
| should be the same with the network you are connecting to. |
