Advanced Properties Tab
4.1 Configuration Profile
Use the Configuration Profile property to specify a pre-defined profile with standard
parameters. The following values are available:
• B only: This profile is for adapter operation in 802.11b environments only.
• B WiFi: This profile is for adapter operation in 802.11b that conform to WiFi
standards.
• G only: This profile is for adapter operation in 802.11g environments only.
• Mixed: This profile is for adapter operation in either 802.11b or 802.11g
environments.
• Mixed Long: This profile is for long-range adapter operation in either 802.11b or
802.11g environments.
• Mixed Short: This profile is for short-range adapter operation in either 802.11b or
802.11g environments.
• Test: This profile is for adapter operation in the widest range of 802.11
environments.
• WiFi Spec: This profile is for adapter operation in environments that conform to
WiFi standards.
4.2 Fragmentation Threshold
The Fragmentation Threshold property defines the size (in bytes) that a packet is split
into for transmission. You may enter a value from 256 to 2346 in increments of 2
(even numbers only) for the fragmentation threshold. This property should be
disabled unless you are directed to enable it by your system administrator.
4.3 Long Retry Limit and Short Retry Limit
The Long Retry Limit and Short Retry Limit properties define the maximum number
of re-transmissions of a data packet. A data packet may need to be re-transmitted if
there has been a CTS or ACK receive failure.
4.4 Nitro Mode
The Nitro Mode property specifies if Nitro mode is enabled or disabled. Nitro mode
is used to increase data throughput over the WLAN. This mode is particularly
effective in mixed 802.11b/g environments.
