Power Save Mode - Philips CPWUA054 User Manual

Normally you should leave this property disabled unless directed otherwise by your
Network Administrator.
Nitro Mode
Nitro mode is an Intersil-proprietary method to increase data throughput over the
WLAN, and is particularly effective in mixed 802.11b/g environments. This
property determines whether Nitro mode is enabled in the adapter. A value of 0
(zero) disables this mode; a value of 1 (one) enables it.

Power Save Mode

This property turns the Station Power Save feature on or off, or sets it to Auto.
When in Auto mode, the station enters Power Save based on the battery condition
(XP only) on the host. Power Save mode decreases the amount of power consumed
by the adapter by powering off the radio for short periods. Enabling Power Save
Mode trades off performance for battery life.
Certain PHILIPS adapters are capable of advanced Power Save settings. For these
adapters, the following Power Save settings are available:
• Auto Dynamic – specifies Disable mode when on AC power and Dynamic mode
when on battery
• Auto Maximum – specifies Disable mode when on AC power and Maximum mode
when on battery
Note: Auto Dynamic and Auto Maximum require NDIS 5.1 or later, typically
available only on Windows XP.
• Disabled – specifies continuous access mode and is the default
• Dynamic – specifies a fast power saving mode that provides the best combination
of performance and power usage
• Maximum – specifies the greatest power saving mode
RTS Threshold
The RTS threshold is the packet size (in bytes) at which packet transmission is
governed by the RTS/CTS transaction.
You can enter a value from 0 to 2432 in increments of 64 for this property.
Normally you should leave this property disabled unless directed otherwise by your
Network Administrator.
