Description

OPTIMIZATION

quality and reliability of streaming video, while preserving the bandwidth available

 

to the non-video clients.

 

NOTE: When you enable DMO on multicast SSID profiles, ensure that the DMO

 

feature is enabled on all SSIDs configured in the same VLAN.

 

 

DMO CHANNEL

Specify a value to set a threshold for DMO channel utilization. With DMO, the AP

UTILIZATION

converts multicast streams into unicast streams as long as the channel utilization

THRESHOLD

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.

 

 

TRANSMIT

Specify the following parameters:

RATES

• 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.

 

• 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

Under BANDWIDTH LIMITS:

LIMITS

• AIRTIME — Select this to specify an aggregate amount of airtime that all clients

 

in this network can use for sending and receiving data. Specify the airtime

 

percentage.

 

• EACH RADIO — Select this to specify an aggregate amount of throughput that

 

each radio is allowed to provide for the connected clients.

 

 

Wi-Fi

Configure the following options for WMM traffic management. WMM supports voice,

MULTIMEDIA

video, best effort, and background access categories. You can allocate a higher

(WMM)

bandwidth for voice and video traffic than other types of traffic based on the

TRAFFIC

network profile. Specify a percentage value for the following parameters:

MANAGEMENT

• BACKGROUND WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth for background traffic

 

such as file downloads or print jobs.

 

• BEST EFFORT WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth or best effort traffic such

 

as traffic from legacy devices or traffic from applications or devices that do not

 

support QoS.

 

• VIDEO WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth for video traffic generated from

 

video streaming.

 

• VOICE WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth for voice traffic generated from the

 

incoming and outgoing voice communication.

 

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 to allocate a higher bandwidth to clients transmitting best effort and voice

 

traffic.

 

 

CONTENT FILTE-

Select Enabled to route all DNS requests for the non-corporate domains to

RING

OpenDNS on this network.

 

 

BAND

Select a value to specify the band at which the network transmits radio signals. You

 

can set the band to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or All. The All option is selected by default.

 

 

INACTIVITY TIME-

Specify an interval for session timeout. If a client session is inactive for the

OUT

specified duration, the session expires and the users are required to log in again.

 

The minimum value is set to 60 seconds and the default value is 1000 seconds.

 

 

HIDE SSID

Select this if you do not want the SSID (network name) to be visible to users.

 

 

DISABLE SSID

Select this if you want to disable the SSID. On selecting this, the SSID will be

 

disabled, but will not be removed from the network. By default, all SSIDs are

 

enabled.
