6 Configuring Access Point Services Table 22. QoS Settings Field cwMax (Maximum Contention Window) TXOP Limit Description The value specified here in the Maximum Contention Window is the upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff value. This doubling continues until either the data frame is sent or the Maximum Contention Window size is reached. Once the Maximum Contention Window size is reached, retries will continue until a maximum number of retries allowed is reached. Valid values for cwMax are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1023. The value for cwMax can be equal to or higher than the value for cwMin. For more information, see "Random Backoff and Minimum / Maximum Contention Windows" on page 72. The TXOP Limit is a station EDCA parameter and only applies to traffic flowing from the client station to the access point. The Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) is an interval of time when a WMM client station has the right to initiate transmissions onto the wireless medium. This value specifies the Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) for client stations; that is, the interval of time when a WMM client station has the right to initiate transmissions on the wireless network. The TXOP Limit range is 0 to 65535. The value is in units of 32microsecond periods. NOTE: After you configure the QoS settings, you must click Update to apply the changes and to save the settings. Changing some access point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings when WLAN traffic is low. Enabling the Network Time Protocol Server The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is an Internet standard protocol that synchronizes computer clock times on your network. NTP servers transmit Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, also known as Greenwich Mean Time) to their client systems. NTP sends periodic time requests to servers, using the returned time stamp to adjust its clock. The timestamp is used to indicate the date and time of each event in log messages. See http://www.ntp.org for more information about NTP. Enabling the Network Time Protocol Server 79
