DESCRIPTION

 

 

Adapter Setting

 

 

 

Transmission Rate

In most networking scenarios, the factory default Fully Auto setting is the most

 

efficient and allows your G-120 to operate at the highest possible transmission

 

(data) rate.

 

If you want to select a specific transmission rate, select one that the AP or peer

 

wireless device supports.

Preamble Type

Preamble is used to signal that data is coming to the receiver. Select the preamble

 

type that the AP uses.

 

Short Preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means

 

more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11b/g compliant wireless adapters

 

support Long Preamble, but not all support short preamble.

 

Select Auto to have the G-120 automatically use short preamble when all access

 

point or wireless stations support it; otherwise the G-120 uses long preamble.

 

Note: The G-120 and the access point or wireless stations MUST

 

use the same preamble mode in order to communicate.

Power Saving

Select Enabled to save power (especially for notebook computers). This forces

Mode

the G-120 to go to sleep mode when it is not transmitting data.

 

When you select Disabled, the G-120 will never go to sleep mode.

 

 

WMM QoS

WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to prioritize wireless

 

traffic according to the delivery requirements of individual services. To do this, you

 

must enable WMM QoS on both the AP and wireless clients.

 

Select this check box to enable WMM QoS on the G-120.
