Parameter

Description

Power Saving 

Disable 

– The card will always be in Active mode.

Enable (Fast) – 

The card will be in Power Saving 

mode when idle, but some components remain 
alive. In this mode, power consumption is greater 
than Max mode. 
Enable (Max) – 

The card will go into Power Saving 

mode when idle.

Preamble Type 

Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC block 
for communication among the wireless networks. 
There are three modes: Long, Short, and Auto. High
network traffic areas should use the shorter 
preamble type. If Auto is selected, the card will 
automatically switch the preamble type depending 
on the wireless network the card is connecting to.

Fragment Threshold

The value defines the maximum size of packets. 
Any packet larger than this value will be 
fragmented. Select a setting in the range of 256 to 
2346 bytes. Minor change is recommended.

RTS Threshold 

This value defines the minimum packet size needed
for an RTS (Request To Send). For packets smaller 
than this value, an RTS is not sent and the packet is
transmitted directly to the wireless network. Select a
setting in the range of 0 to 2347 bytes. Minor 
change is recommended.

Receive Antenna 

Define the receive antenna. If Diversity is 
selected, the card will automatically switch to the 
antenna with the highest signal strength.
