MULTICAST TRANSMISSION

Select Enabled if you want the AP to select the optimal rate for sending

OPTIMIZATION

broadcast and multicast frames based on the lowest of unicast rates across all

 

associated clients. When this option is enabled, multicast traffic can be sent at

 

up to 24 Mbps. The default rate for sending frames for 2.4 GHz is 1 Mbps and

 

5.0 GHz is 6 Mbps. This option is disabled by default.

 

 

DYNAMIC MULTICAST

Select Enabled to allow AP to convert multicast streams into unicast streams

OPTIMIZATION

over the wireless link. Enabling Dynamic Multicast Optimization (DMO)

 

enhances the quality and reliability of streaming video, while preserving the

 

bandwidth available to the non-video clients.

 

 

DMO CHANNEL UTILIZATION

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

THRESHOLD

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

 

utilization 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.

 

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

 

feature on all SSIDs configured in the same VLAN.

 

 

TRANSMIT RATES

Specify the following parameters:

 

• 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 LIMITS

Select any of the following to specify the bandwidth limit:

 

• AIRTIME—An aggregate amount of airtime that all clients in this network

 

can use for sending and receiving data. Specify the airtime percentage.

 

• EACH RADIO— An aggregate amount of throughput that each radio is

 

allowed to provide for the connected clients.

 

 

Wi-Fi MULTIMEDIA (WMM)

Configure the following options for Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) traffic

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

management. WMM supports voice, video, best effort, and background access

 

categories. You can allocate a higher bandwidth for voice and video traffic

 

than other types of traffic based on the network profile. Specify a percentage

 

value for the following parameters:

 

• BACKGROUND WMM SHARE — Allocates bandwidth for background

 

traffic such as file downloads or print jobs.

 

• BEST EFFORT WMM SHARE —Allocates bandwidth for best effort traffic

 

such as traffic from legacy devices, 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.

 

NOTE: 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.

 

 

CONTENT FILTERING

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

 

OpenDNS on this network.

 

 

BAND

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

 

The default value is All.

 

 

INACTIVITY TIMEOUT

Specify a timeout interval. If a client session is inactive for the specified dur-

 

ation, the session expires and the users are required to log in again. The min-
