Data - QoS Screen

QoS Setting

SSID The index of SSID.

SSID Name The name of the SSID.

VLAN ID The VLAN ID of the SSID.

Priority Select the priority level from the list. VLAN must be enabled

in order to set priority.

The 802.1p will be included in the VLAN header of the

packets which are received from the SSID and sent from

Ethernet interface.

WMM Enable or disable WMM.

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a component of the IEEE 802.11e

wireless LAN standard for QoS.

WMM provides prioritization of wireless data packets from

different applications based on four access categories:

voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application

to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client

running that application have to have WMM enabled.

Legacy applications that do not support WMM and

applications that do not require QoS, are assigned to the

best effort category, which receives a lower priority than

voice and video.

WMM is enabled by default.

Workgroup Bridge

Workgroup Bridge feature enables the access point to extend the accessibility

of a remote network. In Workgroup Bridge mode, the access point acts as a

wireless station (STA) on the wireless LAN. It can bridge traffic between a remote

wired network and a wireless LAN.

When Workgroup Bridge is enabled, SSID configuration still works to provide

wireless ser-vices to clients.

All access points participating in Workgroup Bridge must have the identical

settings for Radio interface, IEEE 802.11 mode, Channel Bandwidth, Channel

(Auto is not recommended).
