Chapter 7 Quality of Service (QoS)

7.3.1 Add/Edit a QoS Queue

Use this screen to configure a queue. Click Add new Queue in the Queue Setup screen or the Edit icon next to an existing queue.

Figure 26 Queue Setup: Add/Edit

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Active

Select to enable or disable this queue.

 

 

Name

Enter the descriptive name of this queue.

 

 

Interface

This shows the interface of this queue.

 

 

Priority

Select the priority level (from 1 to 7) of this queue.

 

The larger the number, the higher the priority level. Traffic assigned to higher priority queues

 

gets through faster while traffic in lower priority queues is dropped if the network is

 

congested.

 

 

Weight

Select the weight (from 1 to 15) of this queue.

 

If two queues have the same priority level, the LTE Device divides the bandwidth across the

 

queues according to their weights. Queues with larger weights get more bandwidth than

 

queues with smaller weights.

 

 

Rate Limit

Specify the maximum transmission rate (in Kbps) allowed for traffic on this queue.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes.

 

 

Back

Click Back to return to the previous screen without saving.

 

 

7.4 The Class Setup Screen

Use this screen to add, edit or delete QoS classifiers. A classifier groups traffic into data flows according to specific criteria such as the source address, destination address, source port number, destination port number or incoming interface. For example, you can configure a classifier to select traffic from the same protocol port (such as Telnet) to form a flow.

You can give different priorities to traffic that the LTE Device forwards out through the WAN interface. Give high priority to voice and video to make them run more smoothly. Similarly, give low priority to many large file downloads so that they do not reduce the quality of other applications.
