4.7.4.1 Editing WMM Settings
Use the Edit screen to modify a WMM profile's properties (AIFSN, Tx Op, Cw Min and CW Max). Modifying
these properties may be necessary as Access Categories are changed and transmit intervals need to be
adjusted to compensate for larger data packets and contention windows.
To edit existing WMM Settings:
1. Select Network > Access Port Radios from the main menu tree.
2. Click the WMM tab.
3. Select a radio from the table and click the Edit button to launch a screen displaying the WMM
configuration for that radio.
4. Enter a number between 0 and 15 for the AIFSN value for the selected radio.
The AIFSN value is 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.
5. Enter a number between 0 and 65535 for the Transmit Ops value.
The Transmit Ops value is the maximum duration a device can transmit after obtaining a transmit
opportunity. For higher-priority traffic categories, this value should be set higher.
6. Enter a value between 0 and 15 for the Contention Window minimum value.
The CW Minimum is combined with the CW Maximum 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.
7. Enter a value between 0 and 15 for the Contention Window maximum value.
