• If Turbo Voice is enabled, together with QoS modes Legacy, WMM, or
802.11e, DL voice traffic is sent via Turbo Voice queue instead of voice
queue. A separate turbo voice queue allows for some VNSs to use the
Turbo Voice parameters for voice traffic, while other VNSs use the voice
parameters for voice traffic.
• If WMM mode is also enabled, WMM clients use Turbo Voice-like
contention parameters for UL voice traffic.
• If 802.11e mode is also enabled, 802.11e clients use Turbo Voice-like
contention parameters for UL voice traffic.
Note: The Wireless 802.11n AP does not support the Turbo Voice option.
Step 3 – Defining the DSCP and service class classifications:
All 64 DSCP code-points are supported. The IETF defined codes are listed by
name and code. Un-defined codes are listed by code. The following is the default
DSCP service class classification (where SC is Service Class and UP is User
Priority):
Step 4 – If preferred instead of DSCP classification, enable Priority override:
• Click the applicable service class and implicitly desired UP
• Updates UP in user packet
• Updates UP for WASSP frame (if field exists) sent by AP
• Select the desired DSCP
• Updates DSCP for WASSP frames sent by AP
• Does not change DSCP in user packet
Step 5 – Configure the advanced wireless QoS:
• Enable the Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery (U-APSD)
