Parameters Description
Zone
Specify the zone for the SSID. When the zone is defined in SSID profile and if
the same zone is defined on a W-IAP, the SSID is created on that W-IAP. For
more information on configuring zone details on a W-IAP, see Configuring
Zone Settings on a W-IAP on page 88.
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
Select any of the following checkboxes to specify the bandwidth limit:
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 user— Select this checkbox to specify a throughput for any single
user in this network. Specify the throughput value in Kbps.
l Each radio— Select this checkbox to specify an aggregate amount of
throughput that each radio is allowed to provide for the connected clients.
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.
