MAX Associated Station: Maximum number of stations allowed in
station table.
Common Parameters:
CWmin: Minimum Contention Window. The valid values for
'CWmin' are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, 1023, 2047, or
4095. The value for 'CWmin' must be lower than the value for
'CWmax'.
CWmax: Maximum Contention Window. The Valid values for
'cwmax' are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, 1023, 2047 or 4095.
The value for 'CWmax' must be higher than the value for 'CWmin'.
AIFS: Arbitration Inter-Frame Spacing,
Burst: Maximum length (in milliseconds with precision of up to 0.1
ms) for bursting.
AP Parameters:
This affects traffic flowing from the access point to the client
station. These parameters are used by the access point when
transmitting frames to the clients.
AP Tx-Best Effort: Medium Priority. Medium throughput and delay.
Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.
AP Tx-Background: Low Priority. High throughput. Bulk data that
requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to
this queue (FTP data, for example).
AP Tx-Video: High Priority. Minimum delay. Time-sensitive video
data is automatically sent to this queue.
AP Tx-Voice: High Priority. Time-sensitive data like VoIP and
streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
STA Parameters:
These parameters are sent to WMM clients when they associate.
The parameters will be used by WMM clients for frames
transmitted to the access point.
STA Tx-Best Effort: Medium Priority, Medium throughput and delay.
Most traditional IP data will be sending to this queue.
STA Tx-Background: Low Priority, High throughput. Bulk data that
requires maximum throughput and it's not time-sensitive will be
sending to this queue (FTP data, for example).
STA Tx-Video: High Priority, Minimum delay. Time-sensitive video
data will automatically send to this queue.
STA Tx-Voice: High Priority, Time-sensitive data like VoIP and
streaming media are automatically send to this queue.
TXOP: Transmission Opportunity is an interval of time when a
WMM Client Station has the right to initiate transmissions onto the
wireless medium (WM). This value specifies (in milliseconds) the
Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) for Client Station; that is, the
