Using the Wi-Fi Multimedia Option
Use the Wi-Fi Multimedia option to enable quality of service (QoS) to ensure the best
service in your wireless networks.
Controls WLAN transmission priority on packets transmitted over the wireless network.
Wi-Fi Multi-Media Quality of Service (WMM QoS) is a part of the IEEE 802.11e QoS
enhancement to certified Wi-Fi wireless networks.
WMM QoS prioritizes wireless traffic according to the delivery requirements of the
individual user and applications. On wireless access points without WMM QoS, all
traffic streams are given the same access priority to the wireless network. If a new
traffic stream creates a data transmission demand that exceeds the current network
capacity, the new traffic stream reduces the throughput of the other traffic streams.
MAC Addresses
Defines the MAC addresses. Note: You may cut and paste
MAC addresses from the connected clients list at the bottom
of the screen.
Apply
Saves changes when clicked.
Connected Clients
Lists wireless clients currently connected listed by MAC
address.
MAC Address
– Displays the MAC addresses entered in
the MAC Addresses field (see above).
Age(s)
– Displays the duration since the wireless client’s
polled values were sent to the device. The values include
all information shown on this screen. The lower the
number, the more current its data.
RSSI(dBm)
– Displays the received signal strength from
the device to the DDW36C. This value is commonly used
to assist in troubleshooting wireless performance issues.
A signal strength between 0dBm and -65dBm is
considered optimal. Levels of -66dBm and lower (for
example, -70, -80, etc.) have a downward impact on
wireless data throughput. Refer to
Understanding
Received Signal Strength on page 87
for more
information.
IP Address
– Displays the IP address assigned to this
wireless client.
Host Name
– Displays the host name of the wireless
client.
Mode
– Indicates the applicable 802.11a/b/g/n standard
used by the connected client device.
Speed (kbps)
– Displays the maximum theoretical link
speed negotiated
between the DDW36C and the client,
not including the overhead associated with encryption, and
so on. For example, actual speeds with WEP encryption
enabled a
re typically less than half of the negotiated link
speed. TKIP encryption can also affect performance.
AES is the most efficient and secure with the highest
throughput possible.
