Parameter Description
The following constraints apply to the zone configuration:
l A W-IAP can belong to only one zone and only one zone can be configured on an SSID.
l If an SSID belongs to a zone, all W-IAPs in this zone can broadcast this SSID. If no W-IAP
belongs to the zone configured on the SSID, the SSID is not broadcast.
l If an SSID does not belong to any zone, all W-IAPs can broadcast this SSID.
Bandwidth Limits Under Bandwidth Limits:
l Airtime—Select this checkbox to specify an aggregate amount of airtime that all
clients in this network can use for sending and receiving data. Specify the airtime
percentage.
l Each radio— Select this checkbox to specify an aggregate amount of throughput that
each radio is allowed to provide for the connected clients.
l Downstream and Upstream—Specify the downstream and upstream rates within a
range of 1 to 65535 Kbps for the SSID users. If the assignment is specific for each user,
select the Peruser checkbox.
Wi-Fi Multimedia
(WMM) traffic
management
Configure the following options for WMM traffic management. WMM supports voice,
video, best effort, and background access categories. To allocate bandwidth for the
following types of traffic, specify a percentage value under Share. To configure DSCP
mapping, specify a value under DSCP Mapping.
l Background WMM—For background traffic such as file downloads or print jobs.
l Best effort WMM—For best effort traffic such as traffic from legacy devices or traffic
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 272
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 200–600000 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.
Band Select a value to specify the band at which the network transmits radio signals. You can
set the band to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or All. The All option is selected by default.
