data rate. When the communications quality drops below a certain level, the PC Card will
automatically switch to a lower data rate. Transmission at lower data speeds are usually more reliable.
However, when the communications quality improves again, the 11Mbps MiniUSB Wireless Adapter
will gradually increase the data rate again, until it has reached the highest available transmit rate.

WEP
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the
WLAN Utility offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP, making your data transmission

Advance
The WLAN Utility also offers the advanced configuration for user to set the 11Mbps MiniUSB
Wireless Adapter under certain network environment. These advanced options include Power
Management, RTS/CTS and Fragmentation Threshold. To enable the advanced configuration, go to
the
Configuration
tab and click the
Advance
button.
Power Management
The Power Save option is designed to conserve battery life of you computer. When Power Save is
enabled, your 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card will go into sleep mode to minimize power
consumption.
When power saving mode is enabled, the Access Points you use need to support
Note:
power saving as well so that the communication can be established.
RTS Threshold
RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. “Hidden
Node” is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not within
range of each other. The following figure illustrates an example of the “Hidden Node” problem.
Both stations (STA) are within range of the Access Point, however, they cannot hear each other.
Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other. When a station starts data transmission with the
Access Point, it might not notice that the other station is already using the wireless medium. When
these two stations send data at the same time, they might collide when arriving simultane ously at the
Access Point. The collision will most certainly result in a loss of messages for both stations.
-25-
Thus, the RTS Threshold mechanism provide s a solution to prevent data collisions. When you enable
RTS Threshold on a suspect “hidden station”, this station and its Access Point will use a Request to
Send/Clear to Send protocol (RTS/CTS). The station will send an RTS to the Access Point,
informing that it is going to transmit the data. Upon receipt, the Access Point will respond with a CTS
message to all station within its range to notify all other stations to defer transmission. It will also
confirm the requestor station that the Access Point has reserved it for the time -frame of the requested
transmission.

Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the
wireless network. If your 11Mbps MiniUSB Wireless Adapter often transmit large files in wireless
network, you can enable the Fragmentation Threshold by clicking the

mechanism will split the packet. T he value can be set from 256 to 1500. The default value is

Excellent link.
80%~60%: Good link quality.
60%~40%: Fair link quality.
Under 40%: Poor or no connection.
Signal Strength:
Based on the received signal strength measurement of the baseband processor of the
Beacon signal. Same as link quality, there are 5 states of signal strength:
100%~80%:
Excellent signal strength.
80%~60%: Good signal strength.
60%~40%: Fair signal strength.
Under 40%: Poor or no signal strength.
You can click the

quality or signal strength is poor, rescanning can be used to push the radio off a weak Access Point and
search for a better link with another Access Point.

Loop Back:
The
Loop Back
tool helps you examine data transmission quality between your 11Mbps MiniUSB
Wireless Adapter and any workstation on the network. By entering IP address of 2 remote station,
