Parameter Description
802.11g Transmit Rates Select the set of 802.11b/g rates at which the AP is allowed to send data. The
actual transmit rate depends on what the client is able to handle, based on
information sent at the time of association and on the current error/loss rate of
the client.
802.11g Basic Rates Select the set of supported 802.11b/g rates that are advertised in beacon
frames and probe responses.
802.11a Transmit Rates Select the set of 802.11a rates at which the AP is allowed to send data. The
actual transmit rate depends on what the client is able to handle, based on
information sent at the time of association and on the current error/loss rate of
the client.
802.11a Basic Rates Select the set of supported 802.11a rates, in Mbps, that are advertised in
beacon frames and probe responses.
Station Ageout Time Time, in seconds, that a client is allowed to remain idle before being aged out.
Max Transmit Attempts Maximum number of retries allowed for the AP to send a frame.
RTS Threshold Wireless clients transmitting frames larger than this threshold must issue
Request to Send (RTS) and wait for the AP to respond with Clear to Send (CTS).
This helps prevent mid-air collisions for wireless clients that are not within
wireless peer range and cannot detect when other wireless clients are
transmitting.
The default value is 2333 bytes.
Short Preamble Click this checkbox to enable or disable a short preamble for 802.11b/g radios.
Network performance may be higher when short preamble is enabled. In mixed
radio environments, some 802.11b wireless client stations may experience
difficulty associating with the AP using short preamble. To use only long
preamble, disable short preamble. Legacy client devices that use only long
preamble generally can be updated to support short preamble.
Max Associations Maximum number of wireless clients per radio for the SSID (subject to an AP
limit of 255 clients per radio).
The supported range is 0-255 clients. Default value is 64.
Wireless Multimedia
(WMM)
Enables or disables WMM, also known as IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distribution
Coordination Function (EDCF). WMM provides prioritization of specific traffic
relative to other traffic in the network.
Wireless Multimedia U-
APSD (WMM-UAPSD)
Powersave
Enable Wireless Multimedia (WMM) UAPSD powersave.
WMM TSPEC Min Inactivity
Interval
Specify the minimum inactivity time-out threshold of WMM traffic. This setting
is useful in environments where low inactivity interval time-outs are advertised,
which may cause unwanted timeouts.
The supported range is 0-3,600,000 milliseconds, and the default value is 0
milliseconds.
Override DSCP mappings
for WMM clients
Override the default DSCP mappings in the SSID profile with the ToS value. This
setting is useful when you want to set a non-default ToS value for a specific
traffic.
