3-1-1. Configuration Screen You may ADD new profiles, or EDIT existing ones. (see Figure 15) Figure 15. Configuration Screen Description of items in Figure 15 is as follows: Profile Name: Users can save different profiles names for different configurations. SSID: Select the AP detected by the system from the drop-down menu or input a SSID. (Default: ANY) Power Saving mode: Select "Power Saving Mode" (PSM) to turn off the Adapter's transceiver when not in use, or select CAM to continuously turn on transceivers. (Default: OFF) Network Type: "Infrastructure" and "802.11 Ad Hoc". When Infrastructure network type is chosen, PSM will function but not Preamble. On the contrary, when Ad hoc type is chosen (see Figure 15), Preamble will function but not PSM. Also, the Channel option will appear and 802.1X Authentication will be disabled. (Default: Infrastructure) TX Power: Select percentage of transmitted power. (Default: Auto) RTS Threshold: This is a mechanism implemented to prevent the "Hidden Node" problem, "Hidden Note" is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other and can not detect each other. This mechanism is a way to prevent data collision when Adapters require transmission. (Default: OFF) Fragment Threshold: Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. (Default: OFF) 11

Description of items in
Figure 15
is as follows:
Profile Name:
Users can save different profiles names for different configurations.
SSID:
Select the AP detected by the system from the drop-down menu or input a SSID.
(Default: ANY)
Power Saving mode:
Select “Power Saving Mode” (PSM) to turn off the Adapter’s
transceiver when not in use, or select CAM to continuously turn on transceivers. (Default:
OFF)
Network Type
:
“Infrastructure” and “802.11 Ad Hoc”. When Infrastructure network type
is chosen, PSM will function but not Preamble. On the contrary, when Ad hoc type is
chosen (see
Figure 15
), Preamble will function but not PSM. Also, the Channel option will
appear and 802.1X Authentication will be disabled. (Default: Infrastructure)
TX Power:
Select percentage of transmitted power. (Default: Auto)
RTS Threshold:
This is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node”
problem, “Hidden Note” is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same
Access Point, but are not within range of each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for
each other and can not detect each other. This mechanism is a way to prevent data
collision when Adapters require transmission. (Default: OFF)
Fragment Threshold
:
Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency
when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. (Default: OFF)
