Step 2 Specify a Profile Name, and configure other settings if needed when the “System Config” box appears below, Click OK. 13 Profile Name: Please give this profile a name, up to 32 alphanumerical Characters and symbols are allowed, but space is not allowed. SSID: The SSID of the wireless access point or wireless device you selected will be displayed here. But if the SSID of access point or wireless device is not available, you have to input it here manually. PSM (Power Saving Mode): Select CAM (constantly awake mode, keeping the wireless radio activity when not transferring data), or PSM (Power saving mode, switching radio off when not transferring data). Network Type: Select network type (‘Ad Hoc’ or ‘Infrastructure’). If you’re adding a profile from an existing access point or wireless device, it’s automatically selected and you don’t have to change it. TX Power: You can select the radio output power of wireless network card. You may not need full radio power if you’re not far from wireless access point, and only use a high setting here if you found that radio reception is bad. If you don’t know which one to use, select ‘Auto’. Preamble: This option is only available when the network type is ‘Ad hoc’. You can select ‘Auto’ or ‘Long Preamble’. Please select ‘Auto’ if you don’t know what it is. RTS Threshold: Check the box and you can set RTS threshold manually here. It is not recommended to modify default setting unless you know what result it will cause. Fragment Threshold: Check the box and you can set fragment threshold manually here. It is not recommended to modify default setting unless you know what result it will cause. Step 3 Enter the security settings of the wireless network you try to connect to. The utility, Wireless Monitor will automatically detect the Authentication and Encryption mode. Click OK. 14 Step 4 Select the profile you just created and click Activate. 15 4.3 Advanced This wireless network card provides several advanced settings for experienced wireless users. You can change these settings to increase data transfer performance, or change operation mode. Wireless mode: Select wireless mode, only 2.4G (single bandwidth) is available here. Enable TX Burst: Check this box to accelerate the data transmit rate. It may not work with all wireless access points and wireless devices. Enable TCP Window Size: Check this box and the configuration utility will adjust TCP window size automatically to get better performance. It should be safe for most of wireless environments, but if you found some problem on data transfer, uncheck this box. Fast Roaming at: Check this box and you can adjust the threshold of when this wireless network card should switch to another wireless access point with better signal quality. Only adjust value when you know what result it will cause. Select Your Country / Region Code: Select the country / region code of the place you’re living. Different country / region has different regulations on wireless devices, and it’s forbidden to use certain channel (radio frequency) in some countries or regions.

(This option may be disabled for certain countries due to emission safety regulations.) Click Apply to save the new settings. 16 4.4 Statistics The Statistics section gives you information about transmit and receive packet count. Click Reset Counter to reset all counters to zero. 4.5 WMM The AWLH6075, Wireless N PCI Card provides QoS (Quality of Service) function, which can improve the performance of certain network applications, like audio / video streaming, network telephony (VoIP), and others. When you enable WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) function of this network card, you can define the priority of different kinds of data, to give higher priority to applications which require instant responding. Therefore you can improve the performance of certain network applications. 17 WMM Enable: Check this box to enable WMM function. Please click ‘Apply’ button on the right of this check box after you check or uncheck this box, so corresponding settings in this window will be activated or deactivated respectively. WMM - Power Save Enable: Enable WMM power saving mode to save energy and let your battery live longer. AC_BK (Background / Low Priority), AC_BE (Best Effort), AC_VI (Video First), and AC_VO (Voice First): Check one or more options; when the checked type of data is transferring, power saving function will be disabled. Direct Link Setup Enable: Enable or disable direct link setup (DLS) function. This function will greatly improve the data transfer rate...
