• In the Power Management section of the screen, select one of the two power
modes, Continuous Access Mode (CAM) and Power Save Poll (PSP) mode. CAM
yields the best performance but uses the most power, and is the preferred mode
for systems running on AC power. PSP saves significant amounts of power over
CAM, so is preferred for systems running on battery power.
• If you select PSP mode, also select a Beacon Algorithms to allow more control over
the PSP process. Beacon Algorithms 1 through 10 control the number of ticks the
adapter sleeps before waking up to check for data. Each tick is 1/10th of a second.
For example, PSP Beacon Algorithm 1 wakes the adapter every 1/10th of a second
to look for data. This is the fastest PSP mode of operation. PSP Beacon Algorithm
10 sleeps 10/10ths of a second (or 1 second) before waking up to look for data.
Beacon Algorithm 11 automatically varies the PSP algorithm between the minimum
and maximum values, depending on the amount of data being sent or received by
the adapter. To control these values, set the Beacon Minimum and Beacon
Maximum values.
