for the Wireless PCI Adapter. The Adapter will detect the access point if any messages
are waiting periodically.
•
Normal - Normal mode uses maximum when retrieving a large number of packets, then
switches back to power save mode after retrieving the packets.
•
Off - Turns power saving off, thus powering up the Wireless PCI Adapter continuously
for a short message response time.
802.11b Preamble - Selects the preamble setting in 802.11b. The default setting is Short &
Long (access point mode), which allows both short and long headers in the 802.11b frames.
The adapter can only use short radio headers if the access point supports and uses them.
Set to Long Only to override short frames.
Wireless Mode - Specifies 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps or 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps operation in an access
point network. The Wireless PCI Adapter must match the wireless mode of the access point
with which it associates.
Wireless Mode when Starting an Ad Hoc Network- Specifies 2.4 GHz 54/11 Mbps to start
an Ad Hoc network if no matching network name is found after scanning all available modes.
This mode also allows the selection of the channel that the Wireless PCI Adapter uses. The
channels available depend on the regulatory domain. If the adapter finds no other ad hoc
adapters, the channel that the adapter starts the ad hoc network with will be selected
automatically. The Wireless PCI Adapter must match the wireless mode and channel of the
clients it associates.
QoS- Select the option, the Adapter will provide the Quality of Service for the wireless
connection.
802.11 Authentication Mode - Select which mode the Wireless PCI Adapter uses to
authenticate to an access point:
•
Automatic causes the adapter to attempt authentication using shared, but switches it to
open authentication if shared fails.
•
Open System enables an adapter to attempt authentication regardless of its WEP
settings. It will only associate with the access point if the WEP keys on both the adapter
and the access point match.
•
Shared-key only allows the adapter to associate with access points that have the same
WEP key.
Roaming- - You can select the Default, Very Low, Low, Normal, High in the drop-down list.
It is recommended to keep the default setting.
For infrastructure (access point) networks, click Preferred APs... to specify four access points at
most to the client adapter that attempts to be associated to the access points. The four access
points have different priorities; the frontal has the higher priority.
