Power Save Mode - Please select the power save mode in the drop-down list.

t Maximum - Selects maximum mode to let the access point buffer incoming messages for

the Adapter. The Adapter will detect the access point if any messages are waiting

periodically.

t Normal - Normal mode uses maximum when retrieving a large number of packets, then

switches back to power save mode after retrieving the packets.

t Off - Turns power saving off, thus powering up the Wireless PCI-E Adapter continuously

for a short message response time.

Network Type: There are basically two modes of networking:

t Infrastructure - All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

t Ad-Hoc - Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication,

using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more ION-150

wireless adapters.

Note:

1) An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices

or clients will connect to the wireless router or access point.

2) An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless desktop adapters. All

the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.
