How To | Configure the WLAN with QoS
Introduction
This How to Note explains how to configure Quality of Service (QoS) in a wireless
Local Area Network to prioritize traffic under busy conditions.
There is an example scenario provided at the end of this document, which
describes the configuration for prioritizing voice traffic. This example could be
extended to cover a wider installation case.
For a complete description of the commands used in this document, please refer

Overview What is Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) The Wi-Fi Alliance defined WMM as a subset of the IEEE 802.11e standard to support QoS on wireless networks. WMM offers a mechanism to prioritize traffic demands from different applications and grants an adequate support to multimedia applications, thereby reducing the harmful effects caused by high latency and throughput reductions. Why use Wi-Fi Multimedia? Multimedia and data-centric applications typically share the same network resources,

How Wi-Fi Multimedia works In the IEEE 802.11 standard, the wireless nodes access the medium using the 1 “listen-before-talk” algorithm CSMA/CA-based Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). The wireless node transmits a frame once its checks indicate that the medium is free for a period of distributed inter-frame space (DIFS) and a random back-off time has elapsed. Otherwise, it defers the frame delivery. Note that contention reduces the available bandwidth, because nodes must back off

How to configure Wi-Fi Multimedia Use the command: traffic-class to set the EDCA back off criteria for the required WMM access category: traffic-class [background|best-effort|video|voice] cw-min <0-10> cw-max <0-10> fixed-slot <2-20> no traffic-class [background|best-effort|video|voice] On collisions, WMM sets the back off time within the CWmin range and uses a persistence factor (PF) as the coefficient that multiplies the contention window size in successive retransmission attempt

Connecting AT-WR4600 products There are two options for accessing the Command Line Interface of the devices: SSH remote shell, using any text-mode SSH client software. RS-232 Line Driver/Receiver that provides a standard DTE console interface; note, this is optional and is not always available. Accessing the device via SSH The Secure Shell (SSH) is an encrypted networking protocol, allowing the user to configure the device through an Ethernet network. Microsoft does not supply SSH

Accessing the CLI Enter the login and password via the terminal console (SSH or RS-232). Note, by default, the login name is manager and the password is friend.

Configuration example This configuration example starts with the Command Line Interface already set to Global configuration mode: AT-WR4600#configure terminal AT-WR4600(config)# On setup completion, run the command show running-config to verify the applied configuration. All of the examples in this document provide the minimum set of commands Note: useful for configuring the WMM, regardless of other services like bridging, and security etc. Using QoS to prioritize voice traffic
