To setup a hotspot, create a WLAN ESSID and select Hotspot authentication from the
Authentication menu. This is simply another way to authenticate a WLAN user, as it would be
impractical to authenticate visitors using 802.1x. For information on configuring a hotspot, see

IDM (Identity Driven Management)
Radius authentication is performed for all protocols using a Radius-based authentication scheme
(such as EAP). Identity driven management is provided using a Radius client. The following IDMs
are supported:

Voice Prioritization
The switch has the capability of having its QoS policy configured to prioritize network traffic
requirements for associated clients. Use QoS to enable voice prioritization for devices using voice
as its transmission priority.
Voice prioritization allows you to assign priority to voice traffic over data traffic, and (if necessary)
assign legacy voice supported devices (non WMM supported voice devices) additional priority.
Currently voice support implies the following:

services).
User based SSID authentication — Denies authentication to clients if associated to a ESSID
configured differently by their Radius server.
User based VLAN assignment — Allows the switch to extract VLAN information from the Radius
server.
User based QoS — Enables QoS for the client based on settings within the Radius Server.
Spectralink voice prioritization - Spectralink sends packets that allow the switch to identify
these client's as voice client's. Thereafter, any UDP packet sent by these client's is prioritized
ahead of data.
Strict priority - The prioritization is strict.
Multicast prioritization - Multicast frames that match a configured multicast mask bypass the
PSP queue. This features permits intercom mode operation without delay (even in the
presence of PSP client's).
