The Advanced tab provide more complex wireless settings and these settings should only be
modified if there is a specific requirement on your wireless network.
1. Power Save Mode - allows the user to minimize power utilized by the ORiNOCO Wireless
Client. Note: Setting Power Save Mode to enabled (Normal or Maximum) may cause the
user to experience an extended connection delay of up to one minute.
2. Network Type - allows the user to configure the ORiNOCO Wireless Client as either a
Peer-to-Peer Group (Ad-hoc) or Access Point type network
3. 802.11b Preamble - configures the preamble for 802.11b radio packets so that they match up
with the specified wireless network.
4. Transmit Power Level - allows the user to modify the power output of the radio.
User may set the transmit power to the following levels. Maximum power setting will vary
according to individual country regulations.
l 100%
l 50%
l 25%
l 12.5%
l Lowest
Setting this to any other value except 100% will decrease the range
of your ORiNOCO Wireless Client. However, operation at the higher
power levels increases power consumption and the likelihood of
interference between wireless LANs.
