4.8.4 Configuring WMM

Use the

WMM

tab to review each radio type, as well as the Access Category that defines which data type

(Video, Voice, Best Effort and Background) the radio has been configured to process. Additionally, the WMM
screen displays the transmit intervals defined for the target access category. Radio WMM parameters are
for downstream while WLAN WMM parameters are for upstream

To view existing WMM Settings:

1. Select

Network Setup

>

Radio Adoption Defaults

from the main menu tree.

2. Click the

WMM

tab.

3. Refer to the WMM table for the following information:

AP Type

Displays whether the radio is an 802.11a radio or an 802.11bg radio. This value is read-only
and cannot be modified.

Access Category

Displays the Access Category currently in use. There are four categories: Video, Voice, Best
Effort and Background. Click the Edit button to change the current Access Category. Ensure
the Access Category reflects the radios intended network traffic.

AIFSN

Displays the current Arbitrary Inter-frame Space Number. 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

Displays the maximum duration a device can transmit after obtaining a transmit opportunity.
For Higher-priority traffic categories, this value should be set higher.
