Configuring Quality of Service
The access point has four QoS egress queues and four ingress queues for
each radio. You may adjust parameters that control the manner in which
the device stores and handles packets in the queues. You should not
change the values from their default values unless you are familiar with
QoS. The parameters are divided into the following two groups:
Access Point (AP) Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA)
Parameters table contains parameters that control the four queues
that store egress traffic the access point transmits to the wireless
clients.
The Station Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA)
Parameters table controls the four queues that store ingress traffic
the access point receives from the clients.
To configure the QoS settings for the radios, perform the following
procedure.
1. Select QoS for the Services menu.
The management software displays the “Modify QoS Queue
Parameters” window, shown in Figure 42 on page 131.
2. Use the Radio pull-down menu at the top of the window to select the
radio whose queues you want to configure.
Radios 1 and 2 are the 2.4 and 5 GHz radios, respectively. You can
configure the queues of only one radio at a time. The default is radio 1.
3. Configure the queue parameters as needed. The parameters are
defined in Table 23 on page 131.
4. After configuring the parameters, click the Update button to activate
and save your changes on the access point.
