7.3 Technical Reference

This section provides technical background information about the topics covered in this chapter.

7.3.1 WMM QoS

WMM (Wi-Fi MultiMedia) QoS (Quality of Service) ensures quality of service in wireless networks. It
controls WLAN transmission priority on packets to be transmitted over the wireless network.
WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of the individual and
applications. WMM QoS is a part of the IEEE 802.11e QoS enhancement to certified Wi-Fi wireless
networks.

DESCRIPTION
This is the name that identifying this profile.
When a wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name
that is broadcast and seen in the wireless client utility.
Select a security profile to use with this SSID profile. See
page 89 for more information.
Select a RADIUS profile from the drop-down list box, if you have a RADIUS
server configured. If you do not need to use RADIUS authentication, ignore
this field. See Section 9.4 on page 100
Select a MAC filter profile from the drop-down list box. If you do not want to
use MAC filtering on this profile, select Disable.
Select the Quality of Service priority for this BSS's traffic.
• If you select WMM from the QoS list, the priority of a data packet
depends on the packet's IEEE 802.1q or DSCP header. If a packet has no
WMM value assigned to it, it is assigned the default priority.
• If you select WMM_VOICE, WMM_VIDEO, WMM_BEST_EFFORT or
WMM_BACKGROUND, the NWA applies that QoS setting to all of that
SSID's traffic.
• If you select NONE, the NWA applies no priority to traffic on this SSID.
Note: When you configure an SSID profile's QoS settings, the NWA applies
the same QoS setting to all of the profile's traffic.
Use this field to set a maximum number of wireless stations that may
connect to the device.
If you do not select the checkbox, the NWA to broadcast this SSID (a
wireless client scanning for an AP will find this SSID). Alternatively, if you
select the checkbox, the NWA hide this SSID (a wireless client scanning for
an AP will not find this SSID).
Select the checkbox to prevent wireless clients in this profile's BSS from
communicating with one another.
