¾ Power Save Mode: Please select the power save mode in the drop-down list.

• Maximum – In the Maximum mode the adapter will periodically query the Access Point to

verify if there is any waiting message/packet in the buffer

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

switches back to power save mode after retrieving the packets.

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

for a short message response time.

¾ Network Type: There are basically two modes of networking:

• Infrastructure – The adapter will act as a wireless client and connect to an access point

or wireless router.

• Ad-Hoc – The adapter will connect directly to another computer, for peer-to-peer

communication, using a wireless network adapter on the remote computer, such as

SMCWPCIeS-N wireless adapter.

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.
