Profile Name: Define easily recognizable profile names to identify the

different networks.

SSID: The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name

identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merging of

two co-located WLANs. If you specify an SSID for the adapter, then

only the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the adapter.

To add a nearby network to the profile list, pull down the menu to view

all the networks that can be selected.

Power Save Mode: The two power-saving functions are available only

when Network Type (see below) is set to “Infrastructure.”

• CAM (Constantly Awake Mode): With this selected, the adapter

will remain in an active mode.

• PSM (Power Save Mode): Enable the adapter in the power-save

mode when it is idle.

Network Type: Select from the drop-down menu.

• Infrastructure: This operation mode requires the presence of an

802.11 access point. All communication is done via the AP or router.

• Ad-Hoc: Select this mode to connect to another wireless station in

the wireless LAN network without using an access point or router.

Tx Power: To lower the transmit power of the adapter to reduce the power

used by the system, select a lower percentage from the drop-down

menu. NOTE: A lower power level will result in lower signal strength

and reduced coverage range.
