Transmit_Rate
Controls the data rate the WaveLAN card will use. Supported rates depend on the card. If the card
does not support the selected rate, the default value of 3 is selected automatically.
Valid: 1=Fixed Low
2=Fixed Standard
3=Auto Rate Select (High)
4=Fixed Medium
5=Fixed High
6=Auto Rate Select (Standard)
7=Auto Rate Select (Medium)
Default: 3
Medium_Reservation
Enables RTS/CTS communications. Sets the frame length threshold that determines when the
station should start using RTS/CTS.
Valid: 0-2347
Default: 2347
Note: The use of Medium Reservation is recommended in network environments where the
density of the WaveLAN stations and WavePOINT-II access points is very low, and
where there is poor network performance due to excessive frame collisions at the
WavePOINT-II access points.
Card_Power_Management
Configures the power management used by the station in an ESS. The recommended mode is
Enhanced Power Management (EPM) for hand held computers. In this mode, the station switches
between Power Save Mode (PSM) and Continuous Active Mode (CAM), based on activity. Any
frame transfer switches the station to CAM. Inactivity for 100ms switches the station to PSM.
For vehicle mount computers, the default is CAM.
Valid: 0=CAM (No power management)
1=EPM
2=PSM (Maximum power savings)
Default: 1
Maximum_Sleep_Duration
Configures the maximum amount of time the radio will stay in Sleep mode.
Valid: 1-65535
Default: 100 (10 seconds)
Receive_All_Multicasts
Configures whether this station must receive all Multicast frames (with addresses specified by the
protocol stack) when using Power Management. When this is the case, the station will have to
wake up frequently to receive the multicast frames. This causes less optimal power savings. This
parameter is ignored when Card_Power_Management is disabled.
Valid: Y=Yes or N=No
Default: N
