5.3.1.3 Setting the WLAN Quality of Service (QoS) Policy

The access point can keep a list of QoS policies that can be used from the

New WLAN

or

Edit

WLAN

screens to map to individual WLANs. Use the

Quality of Service Configuration

screen to

configure WMM policies that can improve the user experience for audio, video and voice applications
by shortening the time between packet transmissions for higher priority (multimedia) traffic.

Use the

Quality of Service Configuration

screen to define the QoS policies for advanced network

traffic management and multimedia applications support. If the existing QoS policies are insufficient,
a new policy can be created or an existing policy can be modified using the

New QoS Policy

or

Edit

QoS Policy

screens. Once new policies are defined, they are available for use within the

New

WLAN

or

Edit WLAN

screens to assign to specific WLANs based on MU interoperability

requirements.

Motorola recommends using the New QoS Policy and Edit QoS Policy screens strategically to name
and configure QoS policies meeting the requirements of the particular WLANs they may to. However,
be careful not to name policies after specific WLANs, as individual QoS policies can be used by more
than one WLAN. For detailed information on assigning QoS policies to specific WLANs, see

Creating/Editing Individual WLANs on page 5-30

.

To configure QoS policies:

1.

Select

Network Configuration

->

Wireless

->

QoS

from the access point menu tree.

The

Quality of Service Configuration

screen displays with existing QoS policies and their

current WLAN (if mapped to a WLAN).
