Chapter 7 Wireless LAN Table 41 WMM QoS Priorities PRIORITY LEVEL DESCRIPTION best effort (WMM_BEST_EFFORT ) Typically used for traffic from applications or devices that lack QoS capabilities. Use best effort priority for traffic that is less sensitive to latency, but is affected by long delays, such as Internet surfing. background (WMM_BACKGROUND ) This is typically used for non-critical traffic such as bulk transfers and print jobs that are allowed but that should not affect other applications and users. Use background priority for applications that do not have strict latency and throughput requirements. 7.12 WiFi Protected Setup WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 5.2.1 on page 63. 7.12.1 iPod Touch Web Configurator The iPod Touch Web Configurator displays when you are connecting to the NBG460N wirelessly with an iPod Touch device through a web browser. It is different to the Web Configurator that you access from your computer. To connect wirelessly to the iPod Touch Web Configurator with your iPod Touch follow the steps below: 1 Make sure the Wireless LAN on the NBG-460N is enabled and that you know the security settings (if any). To do this check the Wireless LAN > General screen in the Web Configurator from your computer. 2 On the iPod Touch's main screen press Settings > Wi-fi and from the list press the NBG-460N's network name (SSID) to connect to it.

best effort
(WMM_BEST_EFFORT
)
Typically used for traffic from applications or devices that lack
QoS capabilities. Use best effort priority for traffic that is less
sensitive to latency, but is affected by long delays, such as
Internet surfing.
background
(WMM_BACKGROUND
)
This is typically used for non-critical traffic such as bulk transfers
and print jobs that are allowed but that should not affect other
applications and users. Use background priority for applications
that do not have strict latency and throughput requirements.
