Power Saving Mode
Tap Enable to conserve the battery life of your Pocket PC. When the Power
Saving Mode is enabled, the Wireless LAN Card enters sleep mode to
minimize power consumption when possible (sleep mode may not be entered
immediately). Access points you connect to must also support power saving
when Enable is selected.
Tap Disable to turn off Power Saving Mode.
TX Rate
There are six transmission rate (TX Rate) settings:
Auto
1 Mbps (megabits per second)
2 Mbps
1M/2Mbps
5.5 Mbps
11 Mbps
The default setting for the transmission data rate is Auto. In Auto setting, the
Wireless LAN Card operates at the maximum data rate by automatically
finding the highest possible signal from an access point. When the
transmission signal from an access point weakens or drops, the Wireless
LAN Card automatically switches to a lower transmission rate to maintain a
reliable transmission. When the signal improves, the Wireless LAN Card
increases the transmission data rate to the highest signal available.
In most networking situations, the Auto setting is the most efficient
transmission rate. You can set a lower transmission rate to save power on the
Pocket PC. Higher transmission rates will use more power.
