Wireless N150 Access Point WN604

2.Enter the QoS parameters.

•AP EDCA Parameters. Specify the AP EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) parameters for different types of data transmitted from the access point to the wireless client.

•Station EDCA Parameters. Specify the Station EDCA parameters for different types of data transmitted from the wireless client to the access point. If WMM is disabled, you cannot configure Station EDCA parameters.

QoS queues and parameters are described in the following table.

Table 3. QoS queues and parameters

QoS queue	Description
Data 0 (Voice)	High-priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and
	streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
Data 1(Video)	High-priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is
	automatically sent to this queue.
Data 2 (Best Effort)	Medium-priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP
	data is sent to this queue.
Data 3 (Background)	Lowest-priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum
	throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for
	example).
AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame	Specifies a wait time (in milliseconds) for data frames. Valid values for AIFS
Space)	are 1 through 255.
cwMin (Minimum Contention	Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random backoff
Window)	wait time is determined. Valid values are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511,
	or 1024. The value for cwMin has to be lower than the value for cwMax.
cwMax (Maximum Contention	Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff value.
Window)	Valid values are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for
	cwMax has to be higher than the value for cwMin.
Max. Burst Length	Specifies (in milliseconds) the maximum burst length allowed for packet
	bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple
	frames transmitted without header information. Valid values for maximum
	burst length are 0.0 through 999.9.

Enable Wireless Bridging

The access point lets you build large bridged wireless networks. Select the desired access point mode for your environment:

•Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the access point can communicate with another bridge mode wireless access point, and with wireless clients if this option is enabled.
