unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists
of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC
address of the devices to configure this screen.

Intra-BSS Traffic
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or between a
wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled, wireless
clients can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When Intra-BSS is
disabled, wireless clients can still access the wired network but cannot communicate with each
other.
WMM QoS
Check this to have the EMG6765-Q10A automatically give a service a priority level according

WMM QoS (Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service) gives high priority to voice and video, which
makes them run more smoothly.
