l Best effort WMM — For best effort traffic such as traffic from legacy devices or traffic from
applications or devices that do not support QoS.
l Video WMM — For video traffic generated from video streaming.
l Voice WMM— For voice traffic generated from the incoming and outgoing voice
communication.

network.
Band
Select a value to specify the band at which the network transmits radio signals. You can set
the band to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or All. The All option is selected by default.
Inactivity timeout
Specify an interval for session timeout in seconds, minutes or hours. If a client session is
inactive for the specified duration, the session expires and the users are required to log in
again. You can specify a value within the range of 60-86400 seconds or up to 24 hours for a
client session. The default value is 1000 seconds.
Hide SSID
Select this checkbox if you do not want the SSID (network name) to be visible to users.
Disable SSID
Select this checkbox if you want to disable the SSID. On selecting this, the SSID will be
disabled, but will not be removed from the network. By default, all SSIDs are enabled.

You can specify a value within the range of 0 to 255. The default value is 64.
Local probe request
threshold
Specify a threshold value to limit the number of incoming probe requests. When a client
sends a broadcast probe request frame to search for all available SSIDs, this option controls
system response for this network profile and ignores probe requests if required. You can
specify a Received signal strength indication (RSSI) value within range of 0 to 100 dB.
