2.4. Profile Configuration
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.
