3. Assign a name to the new or edited QoS policy that makes sense to the Mobility 7131 Access

Point traffic receiving priority. More than one WLAN can use the same QoS policy.

4. Select the Support Voice prioritization checkbox to allow legacy voice prioritization.

Certain products may not receive priority over other voice or data traffic. Consequently,
ensure the Support Voice Prioritization checkbox is selected if using products that do not
support Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) to provide preferred queuing for these VOIP products.

If the Support Voice Prioritization checkbox is selected, the access point will detect
non-WMM capable (legacy) phones that connect to the access point and provide priority
queueing for their traffic over normal data.

NOTE

Wi-fi functionality requires both the access point and its associated clients are WMM-capable and
have WMM enabled. WMM enabled devices can take advantage of their QoS functionality only if
using applications that support WMM, and can assign an appropriate priority level to the traffic
streams they generate.

5. Use the two Multicast Address fields to specify one or two MAC addresses used for multicast

applications. Some VoIP devices make use of multicast addresses. Using this mechanism
ensures multicast packets for these devices are not delayed by the packet queue. Only the first
four bytes are used.
