receiver, the Preamble and header are processed to aid in demodulation and delivery
of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead and,
thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is
supported only from the IEEE 802.11b (High-Rate) standard and not from the original
IEEE 802.11. That means that stations using Short-Preamble cannot communicate
with stations implementing the original version of the protocol.
Power Mode: There are 3 modes to choose from
l Continuous Access Mode (default) – the PCI is constantly operating with
full power and it consumes the most power
l Maximum Power Save – the PCI consumes the least power and only
operates when there is wireless network activity.
l Power Save – the PCI consumes the moderate level of power.
