7.12.2.2 WMM QoS Priorities

The following table describes the WMM QoS priority levels that the NBG-460N uses.

Table 44 WMM QoS Priorities

PRIORITY LEVEL

DESCRIPTION

voice

Typically used for traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter. Use

(WMM_VOICE)

this priority to reduce latency for improved voice quality.

 

 

 

video

Typically used for traffic which has some tolerance for jitter but

(WMM_VIDEO)

needs to be prioritized over other data traffic.

 

 

 

best effort

Typically used for traffic from applications or devices that lack

(WMM_BEST_EFFORT

QoS capabilities. Use best effort priority for traffic that is less

sensitive to latency, but is affected by long delays, such as

)

Internet surfing.

 

 

 

background

This is typically used for non-critical traffic such as bulk transfers

(WMM_BACKGROUND

and print jobs that are allowed but that should not affect other

applications and users. Use background priority for applications

)

that do not have strict latency and throughput requirements.

 

 

 

7.13 WiFi Protected Setup

WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 5.2.1 on page 67.

7.13.1 iPod Touch Web Configurator

The iPod Touch Web Configurator displays when you are connecting to the NBG- 460N wirelessly with an iPod Touch device through a web browser. It is different to the Web Configurator that you access from your computer.

To connect wirelessly to the iPod Touch Web Configurator with your iPod Touch follow the steps below:

1Make sure the Wireless LAN on the NBG-460N is enabled and that you know the security settings (if any). To do this check the Wireless LAN > General screen in the Web Configurator from your computer.
