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 l Broadcast filtering- When set to All, the W-IAP drops all broadcast and multicast frames except for DHCP and ARP. When set to ARP, in addition to the above, the WIAP converts ARP requests to unicast and send frames directly to the associated client. When Disabled, all broadcast and multicast traffic is forwarded. l 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 W-IAP at every beacon. You may choose to configure a larger DTIM value for power saving. l Multicast transmission optimization- When Enabled, the W-IAP chooses 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 2.4 GHz and 6 Mbps for 5.0 GHz bands. Multicast traffic can be sent at up to 24 Mbps when this option is enabled. This option is disabled by default. l Dynamic multicast optimization- When Enabled, the W-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. l DMO channel utilization threshold- When dynamic multicast optimization is enabled, the W-IAP converts multicast streams into multicast unicast streams as long as the channel utilization does not exceed this threshold. The default value is 90 and the maximum threshold value is 100%. If the threshold value exceeds the maximum value, then the W-IAP sends multicast traffic over the wireless link. b. Bandwidth Limits- You can specify three types of bandwidth limits. l Airtime- Indicates the aggregate amount of airtime that all clients on this Network can use to send/receive data. l Each user- Indicates the throughput for any single user on this Network. The throughput value is specified in kbps. l Each radio- Indicates the aggregate amount of throughput each radio (some AP models have multiple radios) is allowed to provide for all clients connected to that radio c. Transmit Rates- Indicates the ability to configure the basic and supported rates per SSID for Dell W-Instant. Select to set the minimum and maximum legacy (non-802.11n) transmit rates for each band - 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. d. Miscellaneous l Content filtering- When enabled, all DNS requests to non-corporate domains on this wireless network are sent to OpenDNS. l Band- Set the band at which the network transmits radio signals. Available options are 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and All. The All option is selected by default. It is also the recommended option. l Inactivity timeout- Indicates the time in seconds after which an idle client ages out. The minimum value is 60 seconds and the default value is 1000 seconds. 54 | Wireless Network Dell PowerConnect W-Series Instant Access Point 6.2.0.0-3.2.0.0 | User Guide
