Table 23. Modify QoS Queue Parameters Window (Continued)

Column

Description

 

 

 

 

cwMax (Maximum

Specifies the maximum contention

Contention Window)

window, which is the upper limit (in

 

milliseconds) for doubling the random

 

backoff value. The doubling continues

 

until either the data frame is sent or the

 

maximum contention size is reached.

 

Once the maximum contention window is

 

reached, retries continue until a maximum

 

number of retries is reached.

 

Valid values for this parameter are: 1, 3, 7,

 

15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, and 1023. This

 

parameter must be higher than the cwMin

 

value.

 

 

Max. Burst Length

Specifies the maximum burst length (in

 

milliseconds) for packet bursts on the

 

wireless network. A packet burst is a

 

collection of multiple frames transmitted

 

without header information. The

 

decreased overhead results in higher

 

throughput and better performance.

 

This is an AP EDCA parameter only and

 

as such applies only to egress traffic from

 

the access point to the clients.

 

The range is 0.0 to 999 milliseconds.

 

 

Wi-Fi Multimedia

Enables or disables QoS prioritization and

 

coordination. When WMM is enabled, the

 

access point uses the AP EDCA settings

 

to control the flow of downstream traffic to

 

the wireless clients and the station EDCA

 

parameters to control the flow of upstream

 

traffic from the clients.

 

When WMM is disabled, QoS control of

 

the upstream traffic from the clients is

 

disabled. You can still continue to

 

configure some of the parameters that

 

control the downstream traffic from the

 

access point to the clients
