CONFIGURING QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS)
Quality of Service (QoS) provides you with the ability to specify parameters on multiple queues for increased throughput and
better performance of differentiated wireless traffic like
Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of audio, video, and streaming
media, as well as traditional IP data over the UAP.
Configuring QoS on the UAP consists of setting parameters on existing queues for different types of wireless traffic, and
effectively specifying minimum and maximum wait times (through
Contention Windows ) for transmission. The settings
described here apply to data transmission behavior on the AP only, not to that of the client stations.
AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the AP to the client station.
Station Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the client station to the AP.
The default values for the AP and station EDCA parameters are those suggested by the Wi-Fi Alliance in the WMM
specification. In normal use these values should not need to be changed. Changing these values will affect the QoS
provided.
To set up queues for QoS, click the QoS tab under the Services heading and configure settings as described in Table 33 on
page 73.
Table 32: Telnet Settings
Field Description
Telnet Status Choose to either enable or disable Telnet access to the AP CLI:

Note: The QoS settings apply to both radios, but the traffic for each radio is queued independently.
