QoS
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)/Quality of Service (QoS) Introduction
The AP supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), which is a solution for QoS functionality based on the IEEE 802.11e
specification. WMM defines enhancements to the MAC for wireless LAN applications with Quality of Service
requirements, which include transport of voice traffic over IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.
The enhancement are in the form of changes in protocol frame formats (addition of new fields and information elements),
addition of new messages, definition of new protocol actions, channel access mechanisms (differentiated control of
access to medium) and network elements (QoS/WME aware APs, STAs), and configuration management.
WME supports Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) for prioritized QoS services. The WME/QoS feature can
be enabled or disabled per wireless interface. For more information on QoS, see “Technical Bulletin 69504 Revision 2” at
<http://keygen.proxim.com/support/orinoco/tb/tb69504_3wmm.pdf>.
Policy
Perform the following procedure to enable QoS and add QoS policies:
1. Click Configure > QoS > Policy.
Figure 4-37 QoS Policy Sub-Tab
2. To enable QoS, check the Enable Quality of Service checkbox.
3. Configure the QoS Maximum Medium Threshold for all Admission Controls. Admission will be granted if the new
requested traffic stream and already admitted time is less than the medium maximum threshold.
