Transmit Rate
WaveLAN IEEE 802.11 PC Card User’s Guide 4-5
Transmissions at lower data speeds are usually more reliable.
Therefore when the communications quality drops beneath a
certain level, the WaveLAN cards will automatically switch to a
lower data rate.
When the communications quality improves again, both
WaveLAN cards will gradually increase the data rate again,
until they have reached the highest available Transmit Rate as
supported by both cards.
The User-defined Transmit Rate 4
If you wish to balance speed versus reliability, you can also select
a user-defined preference from the following four options:
High (default)
Medium
Standard
Low
