    It is suitable for applications that require QoS over WiFi, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) In order to allow QoS through the WBS-2400, both ends of the network (CPE on the wireless side and the switch/router on the Ethernet side) should support priority tagging. This permits the marking of a specific packet with a specific priority.

    VLAN Configuration Tagging VLAN It is possible to create several networks working in parallel on the same WBS-2400. This is performed creating several SSID mapped to several VLAN. Each SSID will represent a different broadcast domain, isolated from other SSID using different broadcast keys. On the Ethernet side the broadcast domains are separated by VLAN.

    The default VLAN has the VLAN ID equal to 1, but by default the tagging is disabled leaving the data untagged. By default, all management traffic to and from WBS-2400 is on VLAN ID 1. It is a good practice to create a VLAN dedicated to the management of the unit. See Management VLAN section for more information.
