F3: How does the data transmission rate work?
IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor allows you to choose one of the six data rate
options: Fixed 1Mbps, Fixed 2Mbps, Fixed 5.5Mbps, Fixed 11 Mbps,
Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, and Fully Auto.
The farther the distance between two communicating devices, the slower
the data rate should be used. Basically, with slower data rate, the data
delivery will be more reliable. If you don’t know which data rate should be
used, simply choose “Fully Auto”, and the data rate will automatically
step down from 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, to 1 Mbps if you move
farther your Pocket PC away from the Access Point or other connected
mobile device.
F4: The Wireless LAN uses lots of power. What should I do to save
power?
1 Please turn off the Wireless Communication Switch if you are not
using the Wireless Network currently, or
2 You can click the “Radio Off” button on Start > Settings > System >
Wireless LAN Utility > Config page to temperately disable the RF
function , or
3 You can click Start > Settings > System > Wireless LAN Utility >
Advanced to get into Advanced Page and tick the “Enable Power
Saving Mode” to enter the Power Saving Mode.
1. Turn off the Wireless Communication Switch will cause the
disconnection of the Wireless Network, please make sure to close all
the Wireless Connection before you execute this function.
2. “Radio Off” function will cause the disconnection of the Wire- less
Network , please make sure to close all the Wireless Connection
before you execute this function.
3. Enable “Power Saving Mode” will keep the connectivity but will lower
down the average throughput due to longer connection period for the
Wireless Network.
4. If you are in 802.11 Ad Hoc Mode, you are not allowed to en- able
“Power Saving Mode”, because Ad Hoc Mode doesn’t support this
function.
