13. Set the following Normal (Best Effort) Access admission control settings for the radio QoS

policy:

Maximum Airtime

Set the maximum airtime (in the form of a percentage of the radio’s bandwidth) allotted to
admission control for voice supported client traffic. The available percentage range is from 0 -
150%, with 150% being available to account for over-subscription. This value ensures the radio’s
bandwidth is available for high bandwidth voice traffic (if anticipated on the wireless medium) or
other access category traffic if voice support is not prioritized. Voice traffic requires longer radio
airtime to process, so set a longer airtime value if the radio is intended to support voice. The default
is 75%.

Maximum Wireless Clients

Set the number of voice supported wireless clients allowed to exist (and consume bandwidth)
within the radio’s QoS policy. Select from an available range of 0 - 256 clients. Consider setting this
value proportionally to the number of other QoS policies supporting the voice access category, as
wireless clients supporting voice use a greater proportion of resources than lower bandwidth traffic
(like low and best effort categories). The default is 100.

Maximum Roamed
Wireless Clients

Set the number of voice supported wireless clients allowed to roam to a different access point
radio. Select from 0 - 256 clients. The default value is 10.

Reserved for Roam

Set the roam utilization (in the form of a percentage of the radio’s bandwidth) allotted to admission
control for voice supported clients who have roamed to a different access point radio. The available
percentage range is from 0 - 150%, with 150% available to account for over-subscription. The
default value is 10%.

Enable Best Effort

Select this option to enable admission control for video traffic. Only normal background traffic
admission control is enabled, not any of the other access categories (each access category must be
separately enabled and configured). This feature is disabled by default.

Maximum Airtime

Set the maximum airtime (in the form of a percentage of the radio’s bandwidth) allotted to
admission control for normal background client traffic. The available percentage range is from 0 -
150%, with 150% being available to account for over-subscription. This value helps ensure the
radio’s bandwidth is available for lower bandwidth normal traffic (if anticipated to proliferate the
wireless medium). Normal background traffic only needs a short radio airtime to process, so set an
intermediate airtime value if the radio QoS policy is reserved for background data support. The
default value is 75%.

Maximum Wireless
Clients

Set the number of wireless clients supporting background traffic allowed to exist (and consume
bandwidth) within the radio’s QoS policy. Select from 0 - 256 clients. The default value is 100.

Maximum Roamed
Wireless Clients

Set the number of normal background supported wireless clients allowed to roam to a different
managed access point radio. Select from 0 - 256 clients. The default value is 10.

Reserved for Roam

Set the roam utilization (in the form of a percentage of the radio’s bandwidth) allotted to admission
control for normal background supported clients who have roamed to a different managed radio.
The available percentage range is from 0 - 150%, with 150% available to account for
over-subscription. The default value is 10%.
