DESCRIPTION

Power Saving

This field is available only when you select Infrastructure in the Network Type

Mode

field.

 

Select Constantly Awake Mode (CAM) to disable power saving and the G-210H

 

will never go to sleep mode.

 

Select Power Saving Mode to save power (especially for notebook computers).

 

This forces the G-210H to go to sleep mode when it is not transmitting data.

 

 

Preamble

This field is available only when you select Ad-hocin the Network Type field.

 

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

 

type that the peer device uses.

 

Short preamble increases performance as less time sending preamble means

 

more time for sending data. All IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless adapters support

 

Long Preamble, but not all support short preamble.

 

Select Auto to have the G-210H automatically use short preamble when all

 

wireless stations support it; otherwise the G-210H uses long preamble.

 

Note: The G-210H and the peer device MUST use the same

 

preamble mode in order to communicate.

 

 

Channel

This field is available only when you select Ad-hocin the Network Type field.

 

Select a channel number.

 

Note: To associate to an ad-hoc network, you must use the same

 

channel as the peer device.

 

 

Next

Click Next to go to the next screen.

 

 

Exit

Click Exit to go back to the previous screen without saving.

2If you select Infrastructure network type in the first screen, select WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2 or 802.1x from the drop-down list box to enable data encryption. If you select Ad-hocnetwork type in the first screen, you can only use WPA-NONEor WEP encryption method. Otherwise, select DISABLE to allow the G- 210H to communicate with the access points or other peer wireless computers without any data encryption and skip to step 4.
