Wireless Mode: There are two types available for selection:

Infrastructure: to establish wireless communication with LAN and other
wireless clients through the use the Access Points

.

Ad-Hoc: to establish point-to-point wireless communication directly with

other wireless client devices such as wireless network PCI Adapter.

o

AdHoc Band:

When using Wireless Mode for Ad-Hoc mode,

select the AdHoc Band from drop down list for 11b only, 11g

only or Auto for both of 11b and 11g (tra

o

Channel:

The channel the AP operates on. The channel range

of 1 to 11 for North America (FCC) domain and 1 to 13 for

European (ETSI) domain and 1 to 14 for Japanese domain.

Country domain can't be choose by enduser, because the

incorrect region may be in violation of applicable laws.

Power Mode: There are 3 modes to choose from:

Continuous Access Mode (default): the wireless LAN adapter is

constantly operating with full power. This mode consumes the most power.

Maximum Power Save: the wireless LAN adapter consumes the least

power. This mode only operates when there is wireless network activity.

Power Save: the wireless LAN adapter consumes moderate level of

power.

Preamble Type: Select Long or Short Preamble type. Preamble is a sequence of bits

transmitted at 1Mbps that allows the PHY circuitry to reach steady-state demodulation

and synchronization of bit clock and frame start. Two different preambles and headers

are defined: the mandatory supported Long Preamble and header, which interoperate

with the 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s DSSS specification (as described in IEEE Std 802.11),

and an optional Short Preamble and header (as described in IEEE Std 802.11b). At the

receiver, the Preamble and header are processed to aid in demodulation and delivery

of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead and,

thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is
