ProSafe Dual Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP350 Reference Manual

•Aggregation Length (1024-65535) (11na only): The aggregation length defines the size of aggregated packets. Larger aggregation lengths may sometimes lead to better network performance. The default is 65535.

•A-MPDU (11na only): Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit. Aggregates several MAC frames into a single large frame to achieve higher throughput. The default is enabled.

•RIFS Transmission (11na only): Reduced Interframe Space. RIFS transmissions are shorter than other interframe spaces, and if enabled allow transmission of successive frames at different transmit powers. The default is disabled. The default is disabled.

•DTIM Interval: The Delivery Traffic Indication Message. Specifies the data beacon rate between 1 and 255. The default is 3.

•Client Isolation: This option, when enabled, blocks communication between wireless clients that are associated to different VAPs. The default is Disable.

•Max Wireless Clients: The number of wireless clients that can associate with the AP at one time. The default is 63.

Configuring Advanced QoS Settings

Wireless Multimedia Extension (WME) or Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WME allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the type of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WME to function correctly, Wireless clients must also support WME.

Figure 4-5shows the Quality of Service (QoS) screen. For most networks, the default QoS queue parameter settings work well.Quality of Service provides you with the ability to specify parameters on multiple queues for increased throughput and better performance of differentiated wireless traffic, like Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of audio, video, and streaming media, as well as traditional IP data.

To configure advanced QoS settings, on the Configuration tab select Wireless, select Advanced, and then select QoS Settings. The QoS Settings screen dis pa lys:
