7. Refer to the QBSS Load Element Settings field to determine whether channel usage data is
transmitted to associated devices.
8. Refer to the Broadcast/Multicast Transmit Control field to define the broadcast/multicast
transmission configuration.
The Optimized for Range radio button is selected by default. This default option is ideal
when range is preferred over performance for broadcast/multicast (group) traffic. The data
rates used for range are the lowest defined basic rates selected from this radio’s Set Rates
screen.
Select the Optimized for Throughput radio button to transmit group packets at the radio’s
highest defined basic rate (based on the radio’s current basic rate settings). This option is
optimal in environments where transmission range is secondary to broadcast/multicast
transmission performance.
NOTE
Broadcast/multicast rate control is supported in both standalone and adaptive AP configurations
and can be imported/exported as part of the access point’s existing configuration import and export
capability.
9. Select the Advanced Settings tab to strategically map BSSIDs to WLANs in order to define them
as primary WLANs.
Enable QBSS load
element When enabled, the access point communicates channel usage data to associated devices
using an interval you define. The QBSS load represents the percentage of time the channel
is in use by the access point and the access point’s MU count. This information is helpful in
assessing the access point’s overall load on a channel, its availability for additional device
associations and multi media traffic support. This setting is enabled by default.
QBSS Beacon Interval Set the QBSS beacon (transmission) interval the access point uses for sending QBSS data
to associated devices.
