throughput. It is recommended when
AC power is in use.
Maximum In Max Power Savings (Max PSP)
mode, the access point buffers
incoming messages for the radio,
which wakes up periodically and
connects to the access point to see if
any buffered messages are waiting.
The radio requests buffered messages
and then goes back to sleep. It
conserves the most power but offers
the lowest throughput. It is
recommended when battery power is
in use.
Fast Power Save Mode (Fast PSP) switches
between the two modes described
above, depending on network traffic.
This mode switches to CAM when
retrieving a large number of packets
and switches back to PSP (= Power
Save Polling) after the packets have
been retrieved. It is recommended
when power consumption is a concern
but you need greater throughput than
that allowed by Max PSP.
 Default: Fast
Bit Rate The measurement of how much data is transmitted in a
given amount of time from one location to another.
 Value: Auto (rate is negotiated automatically with the
AP)
 Default: Auto
