Chapter 36 AP Profile Table 191 Configuration > Object > AP Profile > SSID List: Add/Edit SSID Profile (continued) LABEL QoS DESCRIPTION Select a Quality of Service (QoS) access category to associate with this SSID. Access categories minimize the delay of data packets across a wireless network. Certain categories, such as video or voice, are given a higher priority due to the time sensitive nature of their data packets. QoS access categories are as follows: disable: Turns off QoS for this SSID. All data packets are treated equally and not tagged with access categories. WMM: Enables automatic tagging of data packets. The UAG assigns access categories to the SSID by examining data as it passes through it and making a best guess effort. If something looks like video traffic, for instance, it is tagged as such. WMM_VOICE: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as voice data. This is recommended if an SSID is used for activities like placing and receiving VoIP phone calls. WMM_VIDEO: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as video data. This is recommended for activities like video conferencing. WMM_BEST_EFFORT: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as "best effort," meaning the data travels the best route it can without displacing higher priority traffic. This is good for activities that do not require the best bandwidth throughput, such as surfing the Internet. Rate Limiting Downlink Uplink Band Select WMM_BACKGROUND: All wireless traffic to the SSID is tagged as low priority or "background traffic", meaning all other access categories take precedence over this one. If traffic from an SSID does not have strict throughput requirements, then this access category is recommended. For example, an SSID that only has network printers connected to it. Define the maximum incoming transmission data rate (either in mbps or kbps) on a perstation basis. Define the maximum outgoing transmission data rate (either in mbps or kbps) on a perstation basis. To improve network performance and avoid interference in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, you can enable this feature to use the 5 GHz band first. You should set 2.4GHz and 5 GHz radio profiles to use the same SSID and security settings. Select standard to have the AP try to connect the wireless clients to the same SSID using the 5 GHZ band. Connections to an SSID using the 2.4GHz band are still allowed. VLAN ID Hidden SSID Otherwise, select disable to turn off this feature. Enter the VLAN ID that will be used to tag all traffic originating from this SSID if the VLAN is different from the native VLAN. Select this if you want to "hide" your SSID from wireless clients. This tells any wireless clients in the vicinity of the AP using this SSID profile not to display its SSID name as a potential connection. Not all wireless clients respect this flag and display it anyway. Enable Intra-BSS Traffic Blocking Local VAP Setting VLAN Support When an SSID is "hidden" and a wireless client cannot see it, the only way you can connect to the SSID is by manually entering the SSID name in your wireless connection setup screen(s) (these vary by client, client connectivity software, and operating system). Select this option to prevent crossover traffic from within the same SSID. This section is available only on the UAG that supports a local AP. Select ON to tag traffic from the local Virtual AP (VAP) with the VLAN ID specified in this SSID profile. Otherwise, select Off. UAG Series User's Guide 423
