WiFi Multimedia
WiFi Multimedia is an advanced feature that allows you to prioritize various types of data travelling over the
wireless network. Cer tain types of data that are sensitive to delays, such as voice or video, must be priori-
tized ahead of other, less delay-sensitive types, such as email.
WiFi Multimedia currently implements wireless Quality of Ser vice (QoS) by transmitting data depending on
Diffser v priority settings. These priorities are mapped into four Access Categories (AC), in increasing order
of priority:
• Background (BK),
• Best Effor t (BE),
• Video (VI), and
• Voice (VO).
It requires WiFi Multimedia (WMM)-capable clients, usually a separate feature enabled at the client network
settings, and client PC software that makes use of Differentiated Ser vices (Diffser v). Refer to your operat-
ing system instructions for enabling Diffser v QoS..
When you click the WiFi Multimedia link the WiFi Multimedia page appears.
To enable the WiFi Multimedia custom settings, select Diffserv from the pull-down menu.
