Data pane item Description
OPTIMIZATION quality and reliability of streaming video, while preserving the bandwidth available
to the non-video clients.
NOTE: When you enable DMO on multicast SSID profiles, ensure that the DMO
feature is enabled on all SSIDs configured in the same VLAN.
DMO CHANNEL
UTILIZATION
THRESHOLD
Specify a value to set a threshold for DMO channel utilization. With DMO, the AP
converts multicast streams into unicast streams as long as the channel utilization
does not exceed this threshold. The default value is 90% and the maximum
threshold value is 100%. When the threshold is reached or exceeds the maximum
value, the AP sends multicast traffic over the wireless link.
TRANSMIT
RATES
Specify the following parameters:
l 2.4 GHz — If the 2.4 GHz band is configured on the AP, specify the minimum
and maximum transmission rate. The default value for minimum transmission
rate is 1 Mbps and maximum transmission rate is 54 Mbps.
l 5 GHz — If the 5 GHz band is configured on the AP, specify the minimum and
maximum transmission rate. The default value for minimum transmission rate is
6 Mbps and maximum transmission rate is 54 Mbps.
BANDWIDTH
LIMITS
Under BANDWIDTH LIMITS:
l AIRTIME — Select this to specify an aggregate amount of airtime that all clients
in this network can use for sending and receiving data. Specify the airtime
percentage.
l EACH RADIO — Select this to specify an aggregate amount of throughput that
each radio is allowed to provide for the connected clients.
Wi-Fi
MULTIMEDIA
(WMM)
TRAFFIC
MANAGEMENT
Configure the following options for WMM traffic management. WMM supports voice,
video, best effort, and background access categories. You can allocate a higher
bandwidth for voice and video traffic than other types of traffic based on the
network profile. Specify a percentage value for the following parameters:
l BACKGROUND WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth for background traffic
such as file downloads or print jobs.
l BEST EFFORT WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth or best effort traffic such
as traffic from legacy devices or traffic from applications or devices that do not
support QoS.
l VIDEO WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth for video traffic generated from
video streaming.
l VOICE WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth for voice traffic generated from the
incoming and outgoing voice communication.
In a non-WMM or hybrid environment, where some clients are not WMM-capable,
you can allocate higher values for BEST EFFORT WMMshare and VOICE WMM
SHARE to allocate a higher bandwidth to clients transmitting best effort and voice
traffic.
CONTENTFILTE-
RING
Select Enabled to route all DNS requests for the non-corporate domains to
OpenDNS on this 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TIME-
OUT
Specify an interval for session timeout. If a client session is inactive for the
specified duration, the session expires and the users are required to log in again.
The minimum value is set to 60 seconds and the default value is 1000 seconds.
HIDE SSID Select this if you do not want the SSID (network name) to be visible to users.
DISABLE SSID Select this 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.
