Quality of Service
The quality of service (QoS) settings provide you with the ability to configure
transmission queues for optimized throughput and better performance when
handling differentiated wireless traffic, such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of
audio, video, streaming media, and traditional IP data.
To configure QoS on the WAP device, you set parameters on the transmission
queues for different types of wireless traffic and specify minimum and maximum
wait times (through contention windows) for transmission.
WAP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters affect traffic
flowing from the WAP device to the client station.
Station EDCA parameters affect traffic flowing from the client station to the WAP
device.
In normal use, the default values for the WAP device and station EDCA should not
need to be changed. Changing these values affects the QoS provided.
To configure WAP device and Station EDCA parameters:
STEP 1 Select Wireless > QoS in the navigation pane.For WAP561 devices, select the
radio interface on which to configure QoS settings (Radio 1 or Radio 2).
STEP 2 Select an option from the EDCA Template list:
•WFA Defaults—Populates the WAP device and Station EDCA parameters
with WiFi Alliance default values, which are best for general, mixed traffic.
•Optimized for Voice—Populates the WAP device and Station EDCA
parameters with values that are best for voice traffic.
•Custom—Enables you to choose custom EDCA parameters.
