Parameter Description
from applications or devices that do not support QoS.
l Video WMM—For video traffic generated from video streaming.
l Voice WMM— For voice traffic generated from the incoming and outgoing voice
communication.
For more information on WMM traffic and DSCP mapping, see Wi-Fi Multimedia Traffic
Management on page 273
For voice traffic and Spectralink Voice Prioritization, configure the following parameters:
l Traffic Specification (TSPEC)—To prioritize time-sensitive traffic such as voice traffic
initiated by the client, select the Traffic Specification (TSPEC) check box.
l TSPEC Bandwidth—To reserve bandwidth, set the TPSEC bandwidth to the desired
value within the range of 200–600,000 Kbps. The default value is 2000 Kbps.
l Spectralink Voice Protocol (SVP)—Select the check box to prioritize voice traffic for
SVP handsets.
Content filtering Select Enabled to route all DNS requests for the non-corporate domains to OpenDNS on
this network.
Inactivity timeout Specify an interval for session timeout in seconds, minutes or hours. If a client session is
inactive for the specified duration, the session expires and the users are required to log in
again. You can specify a value within the range of 60-86,400 seconds or up to 24 hours for
a client session. The default value is 1000 seconds.
Deauth Inactive
Clients
Select Enabled to allow the W-IAP to send a deauthentication frame to the inactive client
and clear client entry.
SSID Select the Hide check box if you do not want the SSID (network name) to be visible to
users.
Select the Disable check box if you want to disable the SSID. On selecting this, the SSID will
be disabled, but will not be removed from the network. By default, all SSIDs are enabled.
Out of service (OOS) Enable or disable the SSIDbased on the following out-of-service states of the W-IAP:
l VPN down
l Uplink down
l Internet down
l Primary uplink down
The network will be out of service when selected event occurs and the SSID is enabled or
disabled as per the configuration settings applied. For example, if you select the VPN down
option from the drop-down list and set the status to enabled, the SSID is enabled when the
VPNconnection is down and is disabled when the VPNconnection is restored.
OOS time (global) Configure a hold time interval in seconds within a range of 30 to 300 seconds, after which
the out-of-service operation is triggered. For example, if the VPNis down and the
configured hold time is 45 seconds, the effect of this out-of-service state impacts the SSID
availability after 45 seconds.
