Qos - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-8000 User Manual

Access Point Features
• Acct-Input-Packets: This attribute indicates how many packets have been received from the port over the course of
this service being provided to a Framed User, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where the
Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.
• Acct-Output-Packets: This attribute indicates how many packets have been sent to the port in the course of
delivering this service to a Framed User, and can only be present in Accounting-Request records where the
Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.
• Acct-Terminate-Cause: This attribute indicates how the session was terminated, and can only be present in
Accounting- Request records where the Acct-Status-Type is set to Stop.
RADIUS Features
• Profile Name: This parameter provides the RADIUS profile name. Profile name is to identify a set of four RADIUS
servers configured one each per Accounting, Authentication, Secondary Accounting and Secondary Authentication.
• Max ReTransmissions: This parameter represents the communication between the AP and the server.
• Message Response Time: This parameter represents the response time in seconds that the AP should wait for the
RADIUS server to respond to a request. The range is between 3 to 12 seconds.
• Re Authentication Period: This parameter represents the time period after which the AP must reauthenticate the
client with the RADIUS server.
NOTE: If the value is set to "0", then the re-authentication is disabled. This parameter does not apply for clients using
RADIUS MAC Authentication.
You have four radius profiles available for configurations:
• Server Type: There are four radius profiles available for configurations: Primary Authentication Server, Secondary
Authentication Server, Primary Accounting Server, and Secondary Accounting Server.

QoS

Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM)/Quality of Service (QoS) Introduction
The AP supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM), which is a solution for QoS functionality based on the IEEE 802.11e
specification. WMM defines enhancements to the MAC for wireless LAN applications with Quality of Service
requirements, which include transport of voice and video traffic over IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs.
The enhancement are in the form of changes in protocol frame formats (addition of new fields and information elements)
addition of new messages, definition of new protocol actions, channel access mechanisms (differentiated control of
access to medium) and network elements (QoS/WME aware APs, STAs), and configuration management.
WME supports Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) for prioritized QoS services. The WME/QoS feature can
be enabled or disabled per VAP.
