Using the Mobile Companion Utility
A - 14 Spectrum24 Wireless LAN Adapter Users Guide
In Ad Hoc mode there are five transmission power options.
• Select Maximum power to set the adapter to the highest transmission
power level. Select Maximum power when operating in highly reflective
environments and areas where other devices could be operating nearby
with different address credentials. Additionally, use the maximum power
level when attempting to communicate with devices at the outer edge of
a coverage area.
• Choose 50%, 25% or 10% to set the transmit power level to that
percentage of the maximum power level.
• Choose Minimum power to set the adapter to the lowest transmission
power level. Use the minimum power level when communicating with
devices in close proximity. Additionally, select minimum power in
instances where little or no radio interference from other devices is
anticipated.
The Automatic Power Saving Mode switches to Best Network Performance
when an AC power supply is detected. If a battery is used to power the
system, an appropriate setting between Best Network Performance and
Acceptable Network Performance is automatically chosen based on a
real-time analysis of network usage. The Automatic Power Saving Mode
is the default setting and extends the time before the battery needs to
be recharged.
The Manual Power Saving Mode
field allows the user to select a
performance level suited to intended operation. There are 6 settings ranging
from the Best Network Performance (using the most battery power) to
Acceptable Network Performance (using the least battery power). A network
performance description is displayed for each power range.
Click OK to implement power consumption changes for the adapter profile.
