Configuring Mesh Networking

9-27

31. The IT Team does not plan on supporting any legacy 802.11b voice enabled devices, so they

leave the

Support Voice prioritization

checkbox unselected.

32. The IT Team selects

11ag-default

from the drop-down menu to best describe the type of

data proliferating the mesh network. With this setting selected, the Access Category
settings do not need to be configured for the QoS policy.

33. The IT Team selects the

Enable Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) QoS Extensions

checkbox,

and selects the

11ag-default

setting for the intended traffic within the WLAN. If

multimedia or voice traffic would have proliferated the WLAN, the team would have
selected 11ag-wifi or 11ag-voice. However, since simple data transfers are planned, the
11ag-default setting is appropriate.

34. The IT Team clicks

Apply

within both the New QoS Policy and Edit WLAN screen to save

the settings to the mesh network WLAN. The configuration process is repeated and saved
for AP2.

The WLAN configuration has now been set similarly for both AP1 and AP2 (with the
exception of the Priority setting within the Mesh STP Configuration screen). The team now
needs to define the radio configuration for both AP1 and AP2.

35. The IT team selects

Network Configuration

->

Wireless

->

Radio Configuration

from

the AP-5131 menu tree.

The

Radio Configuration

screen displays.

36. For AP1, the IT Team enables both Radio 1 and Radio 2 and defines radio 1 as a base bridge.

AP1 is intended to pass along mesh network data to AP2 (as well as other AP-5131s as they
are added to the mesh network).
