Transmission rate
Transmission rate is the term used to describe the data volume sent between two PCs
per second. The transmission rate is measured in Mbps (Megabits per second).
ì
Select the Transmission Rate :
– With the Auto setting, the network adapter checks the connection quality for
each data transmission and automatically selects the most suitable transmission
rate. The default transmission rate setting is
Auto .
u You can set another value in the selection menu if necessary. By doing this you are
specifying the maximum value for transmission rates. If you select 24 Mbps for
example, the network adapter tries to use this rate for every transmission. The
setting prevents a faster transmission rate. If the connection quality falls, the
network adapter will select the next lower transmission rate:
Channel
The Channel field shows the radio channel used to set up communication with the
connection partners. The options are radio channels 1 to 13.
In the
Infrastructure mode, the radio channel is set by the Access Point for all WLAN
participants and can only be changed there. In this case, the Channel field shows the
channel being used.
For
Ad Hoc mode, you set the network adapter channel manually.
ì
Select the channel used by the desired connection partners in the ad-hoc network.
Power saving
The Gigaset USB Stick 108 can be used in power saving mode. Your PC remains available
on the network, but the network adapter's energy consumption is reduced to a
minimum.
ì
Select Enabled to use the network adapter in power saving mode.
Note:
In wireless networks, the maximum achievable Transmission Rate depends on the
transmission power and the connection quality of the connected network adapters.
The transmission power in turn depends on other factors; for example it falls rapidly
as the distance between the network adapters increases.
The
Auto setting for the Transmission Rate is particularly recommended where the
operating conditions fluctuate.
