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.

RTS Threshold: This is the 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 2347 bytes. NOTE: A minor

change is recommended.

Fragment Threshold: This value defines the maximum size of packets;

any packet size larger than the value will be fragmented. If you’ve

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 2346 bytes.

NOTE: A minor change is recommended.
