17. Set the following 

Low (Background) Access

 admission control settings for the radio QoS policy:

18. Select the 

Multimedia Optimizations 

tab to configure advanced multimedia QoS configuration and Smart Aggregation 

configuration for the radio’s QoS policy.

Maximum Airtime

Set the maximum airtime (in the form of a percentage of the radio’s bandwidth) allotted 
to admission control for video supported client traffic. The available percentage range is 
from 0 - 150%, with 150% being available to account for over-subscription. This value 
helps ensure the radio’s bandwidth is available for high bandwidth video traffic (if 
anticipated on the wireless medium) or other access category traffic if video support is not 
prioritized. Video traffic requires longer radio airtime to process, so set a longer airtime 
value if the radio QoS policy is intended to support video. The default value is 75%.

Maximum Wireless 
Clients

Set the number of video supported wireless clients allowed to exist (and consume 
bandwidth) within the radio’s QoS policy. Select from an available range of 0-256 clients. 
Consider setting this value proportionally to the number of other QoS policies supporting 
the video access category, as wireless clients supporting video use a greater proportion 
of resources than lower bandwidth traffic (like low and best effort categories). The default 
value is 100.

Maximum Roamed 
Wireless Clients

Set the number of video supported wireless clients allowed to roam to a different access 
point radio. Select from 0-256 clients. The default value is 10.

Reserved for Roam

Set the roam utilization (in the form of a percentage of the radio’s bandwidth) allotted to 
admission control for video supported clients who have roamed to a different managed 
radio. The available percentage range is from 0 - 150%, with 150% accounting for over-
subscription. The default value is 10%.

Enable Background

Select this check box to enable admission control for lower priority traffic. Only low traffic 
admission control is enabled, not any of the other access categories (each access category 
must be separately enabled and configured). 

Maximum Airtime

Set the maximum airtime (in the form of a percentage of the radio’s bandwidth) allotted 
to admission control for low client traffic. The available percentage range is from 
0 - 150%, with 150% being available to account for over-subscription. Best effort traffic 
only needs a short radio airtime to process, so set an intermediate airtime value if the 
radio QoS policy is reserved to support background data. The default value is 75%.

Maximum Wireless 
Clients

Set the number of low priority wireless clients allowed to exist (and consume bandwidth) 
within the radio’s QoS policy. Select from 0 - 256 clients. The default value is 100.

Maximum Roamed 
Wireless Clients

Set the number of low priority supported wireless clients allowed to roam to a different 
access point radio. Select from 0-256 clients. The default value is 10.

Reserved for Roam

Set the roam utilization (in the form of a percentage of the radio’s bandwidth) allotted to 
admission control for clients who have roamed to a different access point radio. The 
available percentage range is from 0 - 150%, with 150% available to account for over-
subscription. The default value is 10%.
