Configure AP Profile QoS
Path: Wireless > Access Point > AP Profiles > AP Profile QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) provides you with the ability to specify parameters on multiple queues for increased
throughput and better performance of differentiated wireless traffic like Voice‐over‐IP (VoIP), other types of
audio, video, and streaming media as well as traditional IP data over the wireless controller.
Configuring Quality of Service (QoS) on the wireless controller consists of setting parameters on existing queues
for different types of wireless traffic, and effectively specifying minimum and maximum wait times (through
Contention Windows) for transmission. The settings described here apply to data transmission behavior on the
access point only, not to that of the client stations.
AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the access point to the
client station. Station Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the
client station to the access point.
You can specify custom QoS settings, or you can select a template that configures the AP profile with pre‐defined
settings that are optimized for data traffic or voice traffic.
