Figure 4-45 Cisco Properties – System Parameters
The System Parameters tab allows you to set:
• Client Name – The assigned station name in the table of connected devices. Used
for easier identification than the MAC address. Default is “”.
• SSID 1-3 – The Service Set Identifier, which must match the SSID of any Access
Points that you wish to communicate with. Up to three SSIDs may be specified.
The SSID is case sensitive. The default is “” which enables the station to connect to
any available network.
• Power Save Mode – The default is CAM (Constant Awake Mode), which provides
the fastest response, but uses the most power. Max PSP provides for maximum
power savings, but may cause delays in transmission. Fast PSP provides a
compromise between the other settings.
• Network type – The default is Infrastructure. Infrastructure mode is used to connect
to a wired network, such as an Ethernet, via access points. Ad hoc mode is used to
connect two or more computers in a small temporary network.
