Wireless N150 Access Point WN604 2. Enter the QoS parameters. • AP EDCA Parameters. Specify the AP EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) parameters for different types of data transmitted from the access point to the wireless client. • Station EDCA Parameters. Specify the Station EDCA parameters for different types of data transmitted from the wireless client to the access point. If WMM is disabled, you cannot configure Station EDCA parameters. QoS queues and parameters are described in the following table. 3. Click Apply so that your changes take effect. Table 3. QoS queues and parameters QoS queue Description Data 0 (Voice) High-priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue. Data 1(Video) High-priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue. Data 2 (Best Effort) Medium-priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue. Data 3 (Background) Lowest-priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example). AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame Specifies a wait time (in milliseconds) for data frames. Valid values for AIFS Space) are 1 through 255. cwMin (Minimum Contention Window) Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random backoff wait time is determined. Valid values are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin has to be lower than the value for cwMax. cwMax (Maximum Contention Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff value. Window) Valid values are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMax has to be higher than the value for cwMin. Max. Burst Length Specifies (in milliseconds) the maximum burst length allowed for packet bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple frames transmitted without header information. Valid values for maximum burst length are 0.0 through 999.9. Enable Wireless Bridging The access point lets you build large bridged wireless networks. Select the desired access point mode for your environment: • Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the access point can communicate with another bridge mode wireless access point, and with wireless clients if this option is enabled. Advanced Configuration 49

Enter the QoS parameters.
AP EDCA Parameters
. Specify the AP EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel
Access) parameters for different types of data transmitted from the access point to the
wireless client.
Station EDCA Parameters
. Specify the Station EDCA parameters for different types
of data transmitted from the wireless client to the access point. If WMM is disabled,
you cannot configure Station EDCA parameters.

QoS queues and parameters
QoS queue
Description
Data 0 (Voice)
High-priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and
streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
Data 1(Video)
High-priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is
automatically sent to this queue.
Data 2 (Best Effort)
Medium-priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP
data is sent to this queue.
Data 3 (Background)
Lowest-priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum
throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for
example).
AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame
Space)
Specifies a wait time (in milliseconds) for data frames. Valid values for AIFS
are 1 through 255.
cwMin (Minimum Contention
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random backoff
wait time is determined. Valid values are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511,
or 1024. The value for cwMin has to be lower than the value for cwMax.
cwMax (Maximum Contention
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff value.
Valid values are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for
cwMax has to be higher than the value for cwMin.
Max. Burst Length
Specifies (in milliseconds) the maximum burst length allowed for packet
bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple
frames transmitted without header information. Valid values for maximum
burst length are 0.0 through 999.9.
Enable Wireless Bridging
The access point lets you build large bridged wireless networks. Select the desired access
point mode for your environment:
Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge
. In this mode, the access point can communicate with
another bridge mode wireless access point, and with wireless clients if this option is
enabled.
