Item Description
Is recommended for desktop computers and devices that use
AC power.
 Max
(Power Save Mode)
Causes the access point to buffer incoming messages for the
client adapter, which wakes up periodically and polls the
access point to see if any buffered messages are waiting for
it. The PC card can request each message and then go back
to sleep.
Conserves the most power but offers the lowest throughput.
Is recommended for devices which power consumption is
the ultimate concern (such as small battery-powered
devices).
 Fast (Power
Save Mode)
Switched between PSP mode and CAM mode, depending on
network traffic. This mode switched to CAM when
retrieving a large number of packets and switches back to
PSP after the packets have been retrieved.
Is recommended when power consumption is a concern but
you need greater throughput than that allowed by Max PSP.
Encryption
Algorithm
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
Select one from the list to ensure the security of your
wireless network.
Preamble Mode A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to
synchronize the transmitting timing including
Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. (Note: Please
check the setting of AP first.)
 Auto
Select Auto for the USB adapter to select the Preamble type
automatically depending on the Access Point Preamble type.
 Long
In a "noisy" network environment, the Preamble Type
should be set to Long Preamble.
 Short
The Short Preamble is intended for applications where
minimum overhead and maximum performance is desired.
In a "noisy" network environment, the performance would
be decreased.
