Configuring WMM for Wireless Clients You can configure WMM for wireless clients by using the UI or CLI. In the Instant UI 1. Navigate to the WLAN wizard (click Network>New or Network> Select the WLAN SSID>edit). 2. Click Show advanced options under WLAN Settings. 3. Specify a percentage value for the following WMM access categories in the corresponding Share field. You can allocate a higher bandwidth for voice and video traffic than other types of traffic based on the network profile. l Background WMM-Allocates bandwidth for background traffic such as file downloads or print jobs. l Best effort WMM -Allocates bandwidth or best effort traffic such as traffic from legacy devices or traffic from applications or devices that do not support QoS. l Video WMM-Allocates bandwidth for video traffic generated from video streaming. l Voice WMM-Allocates bandwidth for voice traffic generated from the incoming and outgoing voice communication. In a non-WMM or hybrid environment, where some clients are not WMM-capable, you can allocate higher values for Best effort WMM and Voice WMM to allocate a higher bandwidth to clients transmitting best effort and voice traffic. 4. Click Next and complete the configuration as required.
