PS Mode (Power Saving Mode)
Enabling power saving mode can extend the battery life of the mobile notebook by allowing
the USB Adapter to sleep, minimizing the power consumption.
Channel
D-Link DW-125 Wireless LAN USB Adapter supports up to 14 channels. However, the
number of available channels varies 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 set to different channel. The channels
of Access Points must be at least five channels apart, while the Wireless LAN USB
Adapters automatically use the same channels as the Access Point and roams between
APs in the same wireless network.
Encryption
The Wireless LAN USB Adapter 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, an identical WEP key must be used
by each wireless client on the network. Choose Enable or Disable to activate the security of
wireless network.
Create with Passphrase
The WEP keys can be generated from a user-defined passphrase. The WEP text string is a
maximum of 32 characters.
