Configuring QoS Settings

Configuring Quality of Service (QoS) on the Unified Access Point consists of setting
parameters on existing queues for different types of wireless traffic, and effectively specifying
minimum and maximum wait times (through Contention Windows) for transmission. The
settings described here apply to data transmission behavior on the access point only, not to that
of the client stations.
AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the
access point to the client station.
Station Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from
the client station to the access point.
The default values for the AP and station EDCA parameters are those suggested by the Wi-Fi
Alliance in the WMM specification. In normal use these values should not need to be changed.
Changing these values will affect the QoS provided.
NOTE: For the DWL-8500AP, the QoS settings apply to both radios but the traffic
for each radio is queued independently.
To set up queues for QoS, click the QoS tab under the Services heading and configure settings
as described in Table 22.
