Abstract: A mobile station (200) communicating with an access point (100) includes an association module (202), a mode switching module (204), a verifying module (206), and a recording module (208). The association module associates with the access point via an original address and a virtual address. The mode switching module switches between an active mode and a power saving mode. The verifying module transmits a first test frame, then transmits a data acquiring frame to the access point to acquire the first test frame, presets a period of time for receiving the first test frame, and determines whether a time when the first test frame is received is after or before the preset period of time. The recording module records whether the access point supports Frame Exchange Sequence (FES) to switch between the active mode and the power saving mode according to a determined result of the verifying module.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus includes a receiving rack, a sliding member slidably mounted to the receiving rack, a first resilient member, and a latching unit. The latching unit includes a fitting member pivotally mounted to the receiving rack, a locking member slidably received in the fitting member, and a second resilient member. The fitting member includes a resisting plate and an elastic clamping portion. The locking member faces the sliding member. A wedged protrusion protrudes from the clamping portion, operably latched with the receiving rack. The first resilient member resist against the sliding member and the fitting member. When the latching tab engages with the sidewall of the bracket, the sliding member is moved to deform the first resilient member. Thereafter, the sliding member resists the resisting plate, to block the fitting member to rotate further into the receiving rack. The wedged protrusion is incapable of latching with the receiving rack.

Abstract: A mobile station scans a wireless channel that an access point uses to communicate with a third-party mobile station, receives a management frame from the access point in the wireless channel, and determines that the access point utilizes a close service set identifier (SSID) according to the management frame. The mobile station further imitates one of the access point and the third-party mobile station to transmit a disconnection frame to the other one of the access point and the third-party mobile station, so as to disconnect a communication between the access point and the third-party mobile station. The mobile station further intercepts a reconnection frame transmitted between the access point and the third-party mobile station, and extracts the closed SSID of the access point from the reconnection frame.
