Configuring WMM
Use the WMM tab to review each radio’s current index (numerical identifier), the Access Category that

Index
Displays the identifier assigned to each Radio index, each index is
assigned a unique identifier such as (1/4, 1/3, etc.).
AP
Displays the name of the Access Point associated with the index. The
Access Point name comes from the description field in the Radio
Configuration screen.
Access Category
Displays the Access Category currently in use. There are four categories:
Video, Voice, Best Effort and Background. Click the Edit button to change
the current Access Category. Ensure the Access Category reflects the
radio’s intended network traffic.
AIFSN
Displays the current Arbitrary Inter-frame Space Number. Higher-priority
traffic categories should have lower AIFSNs than lower-priority traffic
categories. This will causes lower-priority traffic to wait longer before
trying to access the medium.
Transmit Ops
Displays the maximum duration a device can transmit after obtaining a
transmit opportunity.
ECW Min
Displays the ECW Max to make the Contention Window. From this range,
a random number is selected for the back off mechanism. Lower values
are used for higher priority traffic.
ECW Max
