5. Select the
Admission Control
checkbox (enabled for only Voice and Video access categories) to define
(limit) the number of MUs permitted to interoperate within this multimedia supported WLAN.
Once selected, the maximum number of MUs allowed is 250. Limiting MU traffic in a multimedia (voice
or video) supported WLAN is a good idea to maintain data rates and throughput.
6. Refer to the
Status
field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error
messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.
7. Click
OK
to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
8. Click

4.6.1 Viewing MU Status
To view MU Status is detail:
1. Select
Network

AIFSN
Define the current Arbitrary Inter-frame Space Number (AIFSN). Higher-priority traffic
categories should have lower AIFSNs than lower-priority traffic categories. This will causes
lower-priority traffic to wait longer before trying to access the medium.
Transmit Ops
Define the maximum duration a device can transmit after obtaining a transmit opportunity.
For Higher-priority traffic categories, this value should be set higher.
CW Minimum
The CW Minimum is combined with the CW Maximum to make the Contention screen. From
this range, a random number is selected for the back off mechanism. Select a lower value
for high priority traffic.
CW Maximum
The CW Maximum is combined with the CW Minimum to make the Contention screen. From
this range, a random number is selected for the back off mechanism. Lower values are used
for higher priority traffic
Use DSCP or 802.1p
Select the DSCP or 802.1p radio buttons to choose between DSCP and 802.1p.
NOTE: The Motorola RF Management Software is a recommended utility to plan the
deployment of the switch and view its configuration once operational in the field.
Motorola RFMS can help optimize the positioning and configuration of a switch in respect
to a WLAN’s MU throughput requirements and can help detect rogue devices. For more
information, refer to the Motorola Web site.
