Card. Basically, the Fully Auto setting can allow the CF Card to automatically switch to a
higher Tx rate for better throughput in most environment. A fixed rate setting does not allow
CF Card to re-transmit at a lower rate even as a result of many retransmissions.
PS Mode (Power Saving Mode)
Enabling power saving mode can extend the battery life of the mobile notebook by allowing
the CF Card to sleep to minimize the power consumption.
Channel
Wireless LAN CF Card can support up to 14 channels. But, the number of available
channels must vary in different countries and regions. The Access Point must be set to a
channel. To avoid radio interference, adjacent Access Point within the same infrastructure
network (the same SSID) should be set to different channel. The channels of Access Points
must be at least five channels apart. Instead, the Wireless LAN CF Card automatically uses
the same channels as the Access Point and roams between APs in the same wireless
network.
Encryption
The Wireless LAN CF Card uses WEP encryption to protect wireless data communications.
Encryption Selection
WEP uses a combination of 40-bit keys or 128-bit keys to provide security for every data
transmission. In order to decode a data transmission, the identical WEP key must be used
by each wireless client on the network. Choose Enable or Disable to decide whether the
security of wireless network is needed or not.
Create with Passphrase
The WEP keys can be generated from a user-defined passphrase. The WEP text string is a
maximum of 32 characters.
