Adding a Voice Network This section provides the procedure to add a voice network. 1. In the Networks tab, click the New link. The New WLAN Settings window appears. Figure 42 Adding a Voice Network- WLAN SettingsTab 2. In the WLAN Settings tab, perform the following steps: a. Name (SSID)- Enter a name that uniquely identifies a wireless network. b. Primary usage- Select Voice from the Primary usage options. This selection determines whether the network is primarily intended to be used for employee data, guest data, or voice traffic. 3. Click the Show advanced options link and perform the following steps. a. Broadcast/Multicast  Broadcast filtering- When set to All, the IAP will drop all broadcast and multicast frames except for DHCP and ARP. When set to ARP, in addition to the above, the IAP will convert ARP requests to unicast and send frames directly to the associated client. When Disabled, all broadcast and multicast traffic is forwarded.  DTIM interval- Indicates the DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) period in beacons. You can configure this option for every WLAN SSID profile. The default value is 1, which means the client checks for buffered data on the IAP at every beacon. You may choose to configure a larger DTIM value for power saving.  Multicast transmission optimization- When Enabled, the IAP will choose the optimal rate for sending broadcast and multicast frames based on the lowest of unicast rates across all associated clients. The default values are 1 mbps for 2.4GHz and 6 mbps for 5.0GHz bands. Multicast traffic can be sent at up to 24 mbps when this option is enabled. This option is disabled by default.  Dynamic multicast optimization- When Enabled, the IAP converts multicast streams into unicast streams over the wireless link. DMO enhances the quality and reliability of streaming video, while preserving the bandwidth available to non-video clients. 52 | Wireless Network Dell PowerConnect W-Series Instant Access Point 6.1.3.4-3.1.0.0 | User Guide
