This tab allows you to further optimize the
settings of the PCI555WG for your
environment.

NOTE:

Use caution when changing these

settings.  While adjusting these settings
from their default values may allow you to
improve the performance of your
connection with the PCI555WG, they may
impair or disable the connection under
some circumstances.  If you are unsure as to
whether a setting applies to you, contact
your System Administrator.

Wireless Mode

802.11 B/G mix:

Assumes that both 

802.11b and 802.11g devices exist on the 
network (default).  When selected, this 
allows the PCI555WG to connect to 
802.11g devices (if present) at speeds of 
up to 54 Mbps.  This is the recommended
setting.

802.11 B only:

If you are certain you will 

be connecting only to 802.11b devices, 
you can select this option to force the 
card to 802.11b-only mode.

Tx BURST:

Enabling this option may improve the transmission throughput of the 

card.

B/G Protection: If your network is a mixed 802.11b/g environment, this feature can reduce
the frequency of data collisions between the card and devices operating in a different
mode.  Performance is slightly reduced when this feature is enabled.

Auto:

The PCI555WG automatically enables protection based on the status of the 

network (recommended).

On:

The PCI555WG will always enable protection, regardless of network status.

Off:

The PCI555WG will never use protection.

ADHOC_OFDM: If you have configured the card to work in Ad-Hoc mode, it will
automatically default to 802.11b speeds as required by protocol standards.  To override
this setting and allow speeds up to 54 Mbps (802.11g), enable this checkbox.  (Note: This
only affects performance when the card is used in an Ad-Hoc connection.)

Tx Rate

Auto:

The card will automatically choose the highest possible transmission 

throughput speed based on the signal quality and capabilities of other devices 
in the connection.  The PCI555WG has the capability to increase or decrease 

throughput as the environment changes (i.e. interference).  This setting is highly
