●Ad-Hoc – to establish point-to-point wireless communication directly with other 
wireless client devices such as wireless network PCI Adapter. 
AdHoc Band: There are two bands available for selection- 11B and 11G 
Channel: The value of channel that AP will operate in. You can select the channel 
range of 1 to 11 for North America (FCC) domain and 1 to 13 for European (ETSI) 
domain and 1 to 14 for Japanese domain. 
Tx Rate: Select the data rate for data transmission. 
Power Mode: 
There are 3 modes to choose. 
●Continuous Access Mode (default) – the PCI Adapter is constantly operating with 
full power and it consumes the most power. 
●Maximum Power Save – the PCI Adapter consumes the least power and only 
operates when there is wireless network activity. 
●Power Save – the PCI Adapter consumes the moderate level of power. 
Preamble:  Select  Long  or  Short  Preamble type. Preamble is a sequence of bits 
transmitted at 1Mbps that allows the PHY circuitry to reach steady-state 
demodulation and synchronization of bit clock and frame start. Two different 
preambles and headers are defined: the mandatory supported Long Preamble and 
header, which interoperates with the 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s DSSS specification (as 
described in IEEE Std 802.11), and an optional Short Preamble and header (as 
described in IEEE Std 802.11b). At the receiver, the Preamble and header are 
processed to aid in demodulation and delivery of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and 
header may be used to minimize overhead and, thus, maximize the network data 
throughput. However, the Short Preamble is supported only from the IEEE 802.11b 
(High- Rate) standard and not from the original IEEE 802.11. That means that stations 
using Short-Preamble cannot communicate with stations implementing the original 
version of the protocol.
