User's Manual

Provides configuration options for the following:
Compression—provides real-time hardware data compression which increases data throughput
using pre-compressed frames with no impact on host processor. OFF by default.
Concatenation-- provides for the merging of data from several packets into one which increases
throughput by removing overhead due to inter frame spacing and preambles. The performance
benefit is in enhancing throughput at higher data rates. ON by default.
Adaptive Channel Expansion-- provides increased data rates by increasing the RF bandwidth.
The existing 20 MHz bandwidth is increased to 40 MHz by combining adjacent channels.
Driver includes support for data rates up to 240 Mbps:
♦ 802.11b: 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps
♦ 802.11g: 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps
♦ Airgo True MIMO: Single Channel--24, 36, 40, 42, 48, 72, 80, 84, 96, 108, 120, 126
Mbps. Channel Expansion--48, 72, 80, 84, 96, 144, 160, 168, 192, 216, 240 Mbps.
Power Savings—provides battery life savings by powering off adapter components during
periods of idle network activity. OFF by default.
Above the Copyright notice on the left is a Link Status area
. Moving the mouse
over this area will display the status in a text box. The Link Status area shows whether a
connection has been established to the AP/Gateway, and if so, the type of connection (either
Infrastructure or Ad-hoc), whether a connection has been established to the Internet, and whether
the connections are secure. The image changes with the current status. The Link Status area is
visible in each view.
