Introduction 1-7
If the radio MAC address displayed on the Radio Settings screen is 00:A0:F8:72:20:DC, then the
BSSIDs for that radio will have the following MAC addresses:
For detailed information on strategically mapping BSSIDs to WLANs, see Configuring the 802.11a or
802.11b/g Radio on page 5-55 . For information on access point MAC address assignments, see
AP-51xx MAC Address Assignment on page 1-27 .
1.2.7 Quality of Service (QoS) Support
The QoS implementation provides applications running on different wireless devices a variety of
priority levels to transmit data to and from the access point. Equal data transmission priority is fine
for data traffic from applications such as Web browsers, file transfers or email, but is inadequate for
multimedia applications.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video streaming and interactive gaming are highly sensitive to
latency increases and throughput reductions. These forms of higher priority data traffic can
significantly benefit from the QoS implementation.The
WiFi Multimedia QOS Extensions (WMM)
implementation used by the shortens the time between transmitting higher priority data traffic and
is thus desirable for multimedia applications. In addition, U-APSD (WMM Power Save) is also
supported.
WMM defines four access categories— voice, video , best effort and background —to prioritize traffic
for enhanced multimedia support.
For detailed information on configuring QoS support, see Setting the WLAN Quality of Service (QoS)
Policy on page 5-39 .
1.2.8 Industry Leading Data Security
The access point supports numerous encryption and authentication techniques to protect the data
transmitting on the WLAN.
The following authentication techniques are supported:
BSSID MAC Address Hexadecimal Addition
BSSID #1 00:A0:F8:72:20:DC Same as Radio MAC address
BSSID #2 00:A0:F8:72:20:DD Radio MAC a1
BSSID #3 00:A0:F8:72:20:DE Radio MAC a2
BSSID #4 00:A0:F8:72:20:DF Radio MAC a3
