Scanning Variables
Additional system performance adjustments can be made with the following group of variables.
LISTENDECAY 0–0xFFFF (Optional)—Specifies the rate at which the
listen interval grows.
Default: 2
Used only in INFRASTRUCTURE mode
when POWERSAVE mode is PSP or
FASTPSP.
Listen interval begins at FASTLISTENTIME
and eventually decays to LISTENTIME.
FASTLISTENDELAY 0–0xFFFF (Optional)—Specifies the time to delay
immediately after a transmission before
beginning at FASTLISTENTIME.
Default: 200 Kusec (200ms)
Used only in INFRASTRUCTURE mode
when POWERSAVE mode is PSP or
FASTPSP.

Table 3-8 Scanning Variables
Variable Value Description
SCANMODE ACTIVE,
PASSIVE,
ADVANCED
(Optional)—Determines the current scanning
mode used by the adapter.
Default: ACTIVE
BEACONLISTENTO 0–0xFFFF (Optional)—Determines the amount of time
to listen for a beacon on each channel.
Default: 40 Kusec
Used only if SCANMODE = PASSIVE
PROBEENERGYTO 0–0xFFFF (Optional)—Determines the amount of time
to listen for RF energy following a probe.
Default: 3 Kusec
Used only if SCANMODE = ACTIVE
PROBERESPONSETO 0–0xFFFF (Optional)—Determines the amount of time
to wait for a probe response after energy is
detected on a channel.
Default: 20 Kusec
Used only if SCANMODE = ACTIVE
