Field Description
MCS (Data Rate)
Settings (802.11n
modes only)
This eld shows the Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index values supported by the
radio. Each index can be enabled and disabled independently.
Broadcast/Multicast
Rate Limiting
Enabling multicast and broadcast rate limiting can improve overall network performance by
limiting the number of packets transmitted across the network.
By default the Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting option is disabled. Until you enable
Multicast/Broadcast Rate Limiting, the following elds will be disabled:
•) Rate Limit - Enter the rate limit you want to set for multicast and broadcast trafc. The
limit should be greater than 1, but less than 50 packets per second. Any trafc that
falls below this rate limit will always conform and be transmitted to the appropriate
destination. The default and maximum rate limit setting is 50 packets per second.
•) Rate Limit Burst - Setting a rate limit burst determines how much trafc bursts can
be before all trafc exceeds the rate limit. This burst limit allows intermittent bursts of
trafc on a network above the set rate limit. The default and maximum rate limit burst
setting is 75 packets per second.
DHCP Offer/ACK to
Unicast
Enabling this feature will convert BOOTP replies from DHCP server to Unicast and send to
the requesting wireless client.
Multicast to Unicast Enabling this feature will convert all multicast data stream to unicast stream and send to the
associated wireless clients.
Forced Roaming Enabling this feature will detect and disconnect wireless clients based on the client RSSI. If
the client RSSI falls below the roaming threshold value, the client will be disassociated.
Further association attempts will be monitored and disconnected 3 times if its RSSI is below
the threshold value. If still the client tries association 4th time, the association will be logged
and allowed to connect.
TSPEC Mode Regulates the overall TSPEC mode on the AP. The options are:
•) On — The AP handles TSPEC requests according to the TSPEC settings you
congure on the Radio page. Use this setting if the AP handles trafc from QoS-
capable devices, such as a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED phone.
•) Off — The AP ignores TSPEC requests from client stations. Use this setting if you do
not want to use TSPEC to give QoS-capable devices priority for time-sensitive trafc.
TSPEC Voice ACM
Mode
Regulates mandatory admission control (ACM) for the voice access category. The options
are:
•) On — A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before
sending or receiving a voice trafc stream. The AP responds with the result of the
request, which includes the allotted medium time if the TSPEC was admitted.
•) Off — A station can send and receive voice priority trafc without requiring an admitted
TSPEC; the AP ignores voice TSPEC requests from client stations.
TSPEC Voice ACM
Limit
Specify an upper limit on the amount of trafc the AP attempts to transmit on the wireless
medium using a voice AC to gain access.
TSPEC Video ACM
Mode
Regulates mandatory admission control for the video access category. The options are:
•) On — A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before
sending or receiving a video trafc stream. The AP responds with the result of the
request, which includes the allotted medium time if the TSPEC was admitted.
•) Off — A station can send and receive video priority trafc without requiring an admitted
TSPEC; the AP ignores video TSPEC requests from client stations.
TSPEC Video ACM
Limit
Specify an upper limit on the amount of trafc the AP attempts to transmit on the wireless
medium using a video AC to gain access.
TSPEC BE ACM
Mode
Regulates mandatory admission control for the best effort access category. The options are:
• On-A station is required to send a TSPEC request for bandwidth to the AP before
sending or receiving a best effort trafc stream. The AP responds with the result of the
request, which includes the allotted medium time if the TSPEC was admitted.
• Off-A station can send and receive best effort priority trafc without requiring an admitted
TSPEC; the AP ignores best effort TSPEC requests from client stations.
TSPEC BE ACM
Limit
Specify an upper limit on the amount of trafc the AP attempts to transmit on the wireless
medium using a best effort AC for stations roamed to this AP using Fast BSS Transition.
