Configuring Voice Prioritization And Multicast Address Settings; Setting Up Port Authentication For Ap 300 Access Ports - Motorola WS2000 - Wireless Switch - Network Management Device System Reference Manual

Bandwidth Share for Each WLAN Table
The fields in this table are:
WLAN Name
Weight
Weight (%)

5.7.2 Configuring Voice Prioritization and Multicast Address Settings

To ensure better performance with Voice over IP (VoIP) broadcasts, the administrator can enable voice
prioritization for particular multicast addresses within a WLAN. In the table, specify the multicast addresses
by filling out the fields:
WLAN Name
Use Voice
Prioritization
Multicast Address
#1 and
Multicast Address
#2
NOTE: Voice prioritization and multicast addressing will only affect active WLANs. Applying these settings
to a inactive WLAN will have no effect. To make a WLAN active, go to the Wireless screen.

5.8 Setting Up Port Authentication for AP 300 Access Ports

802.1x port authentication is used to provide security and authentication for all wired clients on a WLAN.
TheWS 2000 Wireless Switch supports 802.1x port authentication for the AP 300 Access Ports connected to
it. It uses a username and password for all ports that can be configured from the wireless switch.
Select Network Configuration
menu on the left.
This field lists the WLANs on the switch by name (the same name that you see in the left
menu). You cannot change the name of the WLAN in this field. Go to the Wireless screen to
change a WLAN name.
The Weight field specifies the relative amount of bandwidth provided to the given WLAN
as compared to the other WLANs. For example, if WLAN1 has Weight set to 3 and WLAN2
has Weight set to 1, WLAN1 will get 3 times as much bandwidth as WLAN2. When the
Weight field is changed, the weight percentage adjusts automatically to match.
This field is automatically calculated and cannot be edited. This field specifies the
percentage of bandwidth allocated for each of the WLANs. If the Bandwidth Share Mode is
set to Round Robin, the Weight (%) will be the same for all active WLANs. If the
Bandwidth Share Mode is set to
upon the Weights set for each of the WLANs. For example, if WLAN1 has Weight set to 3
and WLAN2 has Weight set to 1, the application will automatically set the weight
percentage to 75% for WLAN1 and 25% for WLAN2.
This field lists the WLANs on the switch by name (the same name that you see in the left
menu). You cannot change the name of the WLAN in this field. Go to the Wireless screen
to change a WLAN name.
Check this box to enable prioritization of voice over data for RF transmissions for the
associated WLAN. This setting reduces the latency that might occur when data
transmissions and VoIP transmissions compete for the same resources. Latency is usually
experienced as broken or delayed speech or sound.
Use the two Multicast Address
for multicast applications. Some VoIP devices make use of multicast addresses. Using this
mechanism ensures that the multicast packets for these devices are not delayed by the
packet queue.
