4.Enter a number between 0 and 15 for the AIFSN value for the selected radio.

The AIFSN value is 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.

5.Enter a number between 0 and 65535 for the Transmit Ops value.

The Transmit Ops value is the maximum duration a device can transmit after obtaining a transmit opportunity. For Higher-priority traffic categories, this value should be set higher.
