Qos - Cisco WAP581 Administration Manual

Wireless
• End Time (24hh:mm) — Set the time when the radio or VAP is disabled. The time is in hh:mm 24-hour format.
The range is <00-23>:<00-59>. The default is 00:00.
Step 6
Click Apply.
Note A scheduler profile must be associated with a radio interface or a VAP interface to be in effect.
To delete a rule, select the profile from the Profile Name column and click Delete.

QoS

The Quality of Service (QoS) settings allow for configuration of the transmission queues for optimized
throughput and enhanced performance when handling differentiated wireless traffic. This traffic can be VoIP,
other types of audio, video, streaming media, and traditional IP data.
To configure QoS on the WAP device, set the parameters on the transmission queues for different types of
wireless traffic and specify the minimum and maximum wait times for transmission.
The WAP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters affect the traffic flowing from the WAP
device to the client station. The station EDCA parameters affect the traffic flowing from the client station to
the WAP device.
In normal use, the default values for the WAP device and the station EDCA should not be changed. Changing
these values affects the QoS provided.
To configure the WAP device and EDCA parameters:
Step 1
Select Wireless > QoS.
Step 2 Choose the radio interface (Radio 1 (5 GHz) or Radio 2 (2.4 GHz)).
Step 3
Choose one of these options from the EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) Template:
• WFA Defaults — Populates the WAP device and the Station EDCA parameters with Wi-Fi Alliance default values,
which are best for general, mixed traffic.
• Optimized For Voice — Populates the WAP device and the Station EDCA parameters with values that are best for
voice traffic.
• Custom — Enables you to choose custom EDCA parameters.
These four queues are defined for different types of data transmitted from WAP- to-station. If you choose a Custom
template, the parameters that define the queues are configurable; otherwise, they are set to predefined values appropriate
to your selection. The four queues are:
• Data 0 (Voice) — High priority queue, with minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media
are automatically sent to this queue.
• Data 1 (Video) — High priority queue, with minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this
queue.
• Data 2 (Best Effort) — Medium priority queue, with medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent
to this queue.
