5.3.1.3 Setting the WLAN Quality of Service (QoS) Policy
The AP-5131 can keep a list of QoS policies that can be used from the
New WLAN
or
Edit WLAN
screens to map to individual WLANs. Use the
Quality of Service Configuration
screen to configure
WMM policies that can improve the user experience for audio, video and voice applications by
shortening the time between packet transmissions for higher priority (multimedia) traffic.
Use the
Quality of Service Configuration
screen to define the QoS policies for advanced network
traffic management and multimedia applications support. If the existing QoS policies are insufficient,
a new policy can be created or an existing policy can be modified using the
New QoS Policy
or
Edit
QoS Policy
screens. Once new policies are defined, they are available for use within the
New
WLAN
or
Edit WLAN
screens to assign to specific WLANs based on MU interoperability
requirements.
Symbol recommends using the New QoS Policy and Edit QoS Policy screens strategically to name and
configure QoS policies meeting the requirements of the particular WLANs they may map to. However,
be careful not to name policies after specific WLANs, as individual QoS policies can be used by more
than one WLAN. For detailed information on assigning QoS policies to specific WLANs, see
Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-24
To configure QoS policies:
1.
Select
Network Configuration
->
Wireless
->
QoS
from the AP-5131 menu tree.
The
Quality of Service Configuration
screen displays with existing QoS policies and their
current WLAN (if mapped to a WLAN).
NOTE
When the AP-5131 is first launched, a single QoS policy (default) is
available and mapped to WLAN 1. It is anticipated additional QoS policies
will be created as the list of WLANs grows.
