Parameter
Description
DTIM interval
The
DTIM interval
indicates the delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) period in
beacons, which can be configured for every WLAN SSID profile. The DTIM interval
determines how often the IAP should deliver the buffered broadcast and multicast frames
to associated clients in the powersave mode. The default value is 1, which means the client
checks for buffered data on the IAP at every beacon. You can also configure a higher DTIM
value for power saving.
Min RSSI probe
request
Sets a minimum Received signal strength indication (RSSI) threshold for probe requests.
Min RSSI auth request
Sets a minimum RSSI threshold for authentication requests.
Very high throughput
Enables VHT function on IAP devices that support VHT. For 802.11acIAPs, the VHT function
is enabled by default. However, you can disable the VHT function if you want the 802.11ac
IAPs to function as 802.11n IAPs.
If VHT is configured or disabled on an SSID, the changes will apply only to the SSID on
which it is enabled or disabled.
Zone
Specify the zone for the SSID. When the zone is defined in SSID profile and if the same
zone is defined on an IAP, the SSID is created on that IAP. For more information on
configuring zone details, see
Configuring Zone Settings on an IAP on page 68
.
The following constraints apply to the zone configuration:
l
An 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 IAPs in this zone can broadcast this SSID. If no 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 IAPs can broadcast this SSID.
Time Range
Click
Edit
, select a Time Range Profile from the list and specify if the profile must be
enabled or disabled for the SSID, and then click
OK
.
Bandwidth Limits
Under
Bandwidth Limits
:
l
Airtime
—Select this check box 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 radio
—Select this check box to specify an aggregate amount of throughput that
each radio is allowed to provide for the connected clients.
l
Downstream
and
Upstream
—Specify the downstream and upstream rates within a
range of 1 to 65,535 Kbps for the SSID users. If the assignment is specific for each user,
select the
Peruser
check box.
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
