ACM — The admission control mode for the access category. When

enabled, clients are blocked from using the access category.

(Default: Disabled)

AckPolicy — By default, all wireless data transmissions require the

sender to wait for an acknowledgement from the receiver. WMM allows

the acknowledgement wait time to be turned off for each Access

Category (AC) 0-3. Although this increases data throughput, it can also

result in a high number of errors when traffic levels are heavy.

(Default: Acknowledge)

The Multicast-to-Unicast Converter section on the Wireless Settings

Advanced page allows you to enable multicast traffic conversion.

Converting multicast traffic to unicast before sending to wireless clients

allows a longer DTIM (Data Beacon Rate) interval to be set. A longer DTIM

interval prevents clients in power-save mode having to activate their radios

to receive the multicast data, which saves battery life.
