MULTICAST TRANSMISSION
OPTIMIZATION
Select Enabled if you want the AP to select the optimal rate for sending
broadcast and multicast frames based on the lowest of unicast rates across all
associated clients. When this option is enabled, multicast traffic can be sent at
up to 24 Mbps. The default rate for sending frames for 2.4 GHz is 1 Mbps and
5.0 GHz is 6 Mbps. This option is disabled by default.
DYNAMIC MULTICAST
OPTIMIZATION
Select Enabled to allow AP to convert multicast streams into unicast streams
over the wireless link. Enabling Dynamic Multicast Optimization (DMO)
enhances the quality and reliability of streaming video, while preserving the
bandwidth available to the non-video clients.
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.
NOTE: When you enable DMO on multicast SSID profiles, enable the DMO
feature on all SSIDs configured in the same VLAN.
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 Select any of the following to specify the bandwidth limit:
l AIRTIME—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— 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 Wi-Fi Multimedia (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 for best effort traffic
such as traffic from legacy devices, 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.
NOTE: 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.
CONTENT FILTERING Set to 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.
The default value is
All
.
INACTIVITY TIMEOUT
Specify a timeout interval. If a client session is inactive for the specified dur-
ation, the session expires and the users are required to log in again. The min-
