QoS Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters

The following commands configure the client (STA) and AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters.

The EDCA parameter set provides information needed by the client stations for proper QoS operation during the wireless contention period. These parameters are used by the QoS enabled AP to establish policy, to change policies when accepting new stations or new traffic, or to adapt to changes in the offered load. The EDCA parameters assign priorities to traffic types where higher priority packets gain access to the wireless medium more frequently than lower priority packets.

NOTE: We have defined default recommended values for EDCA parameters; we recommend not modifying EDCA parameters unless strictly necessary.

Defining the QoS Policy used for a Wireless Interface SSID

The QoS Policy object configures the QoS policy to be used per wireless interface SSID. This object is part of the Wireless Interface SSID Table; the CLI command for this table is “wifssidtbl.”

Name	Type	Value	Access	CLI Parameter
QoS Policy	Integer	See Note*	RW	qospolicy

*A QoS Policy number needs to be specified in the SSID table. This depends on the QoS policies configured by the user. Once the user has configured QoS policies, the user should specify the policy to be used for that SSID.

CLI Batch File

A CLI Batch file is a user-editable file that lists a series of CLI set commands, that can be uploaded to the Access Point to change its configuration. The Access Point executes the CLI commands specified in the CLI Batch file after upload and the configuration gets changed accordingly. A CLI Batch file can also be used for Auto Configuration.

The CLI Batch file does not replace the existing LTV format configuration file, which continues to define the configuration of the AP.

The CLI Batch file contains a list of CLI commands that the AP will execute. The AP performs the commands in the file immediately after the file is uploaded to the AP manually or during Auto Configuration. The AP parses the file and
