	Effort and Background. Click the Edit button to change the current Access Category. Ensure
	the Access Category reflects the radio’s intended network traffic.
AIFSN	Displays the current Arbitrary Inter-frame Space Number. 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	Displays the CW Max to make the Contention Window. From this range, a random number
	is selected for the back off mechanism. Lower values are used for higher priority traffic.

Use the Edit screen to modify a WMM profile's properties (AIFSN, Tx Op, Cw Min and CW Max). Modifying these properties may be necessary as Access Categories are changed and transmit intervals need to be adjusted to compensate for larger data packets and contention windows.

To edit existing WMM Settings:

1.Select Network > Access Port Radios from the main menu tree.

2.Click the WMM tab.

3.Select a radio from the table and click the Edit button to launch a screen displaying the WMM configuration for that radio.
