5. Click Apply to save any changes to the New MU ACL Policy or Edit MU ACL Policy screen
and return to the Mobile Unit Access Control List Configuration screen. Navigating away
from the screen without clicking Apply results in all changes to the screens being lost.
6. Click Cancel to securely exit the New MU ACL Policy or Edit MU ACL Policy screen and
return to the Mobile Unit Access Control List Configuration screen.
7. Click Logout within the Mobile Unit Access Control List Configuration screen to securely
exit the AP-5131 Symbol Access Point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout
before the applet is closed.
5.3.1.3 Setting the WLAN Quality of Service (QoS) Policy
The AP-5131 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.
Symbol 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 map 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 5-24 .
To configure QoS policies:
1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> QoS from the AP-5131 menu tree.
The Quality of Service Configuration screen displays with existing QoS policies and their
current WLAN (if mapped to a WLAN).
NOTE When the AP-5131 is first launched, a single QoS policy (default) is
available and mapped to WLAN 1. It is anticipated additional QoS policies
will be created as the list of WLANs grows.
