Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 and WAC730 User Manual a. Select the check boxes for the days for which you want to set and activate a schedule and clear the check boxes for the days for which you do not want to set and activate a schedule. b. For each active day, set the start and end time for the schedule by moving the circles on the bar that is associated with the individual day. By default, the schedule enables the radio to be active from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (18:30) on the individual day. 7. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. The schedule is active and WiFi broadcast occurs according to the schedule that you defined. Configure Basic WiFi Quality of Service Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows you to specify a range of priorities, depending on the type of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio, is given a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, WiFi clients must also support WMM. By enabling WMM, you allow Quality of Service (QoS) control for upstream traffic flowing from a WiFi station to the access point and for downstream traffic flowing from the access point to a WiFi station. WMM defines the following four queues in decreasing order of priority: • Voice. The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for applications like VoIP and streaming media. • Video. The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video applications are routed to this queue. • Best Effort. The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most standard IP applications use this queue. • Background. Low priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, that are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue. The WMM Powersave feature saves power for battery-powered equipment by increasing the efficiency and flexibility of data transmission. Note For information about how to configure advanced WiFi QoS, that is, to configure specific Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) settings, see Configure Advanced Quality of Service Settings on page 109. To configure basic WiFi QoS: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the access point or to the access point directly through an Ethernet cable. For more information, see Log In to the Access Point on page 16. 2. In the address bar, enter the IP address of the access point. A login window opens. Configure the WiFi Features and Security 59
