WMM enabled

Displays WLAN-WMM status. It can be enabled (for a WLAN) from the WLAN

 

Configurations Edit screen by selecting the Enable WMM checkbox.

Access

Displays the Access Category for the intended radio traffic. The Access Categories are the

 

different WLAN-WMM options available to the radio.

 

The four Access Category types are:

 

Background — Optimized for background traffic

 

Best-effort — Optimized for best effort traffic

 

Video — Optimized for video traffic

 

Voice — Optimized for voice traffic

AIFSN

Displays the current Arbitrary Inter-frame Space Number (AIFSN). Higher-priority traffic

 

categories should have lower AIFSNs than lower-priority traffic categories. This will causes

 

lower-priority traffic to wait longer before trying to access the medium.

Transmit Ops

Displays the maximum duration a device can transmit after obtaining a transmit opportunity.

 

For Higher-priority traffic categories, this value should be set higher.

CW Min

The CW Min is combined with the CW Max to make the Contention screen. From this range,

 

a random number is selected for the back off mechanism. Lower values are used for higher

 

priority traffic.

CW Max

The CW Max is combined with the CW Min to make the Contention screen. From this range,

 

a random number is selected for the back off mechanism. Lower values are used for higher

 

priority traffic.
