Wi-Fi Multimedia

Wi-Fi Multimedia, or WMM is a feature that allows a wireless network to establish a Quality of Service (QoS) for transferring different types of data. For
transferring data such as voice and video, it is important that data is delivered in a timely manner to avoid video or audio skipping, even under busy
network conditions. With WMM enabled, voice and video are given the higher priority service that they need.

check box to enable WMM. Clear the box to disable WMM. When WMM is disabled, voice and video are treated the same as any

other data. If WMM is enabled, the 2247-N8 examines each packet to determine the type of data in order to assign it to a queue. The predefined
queues are:

™

VOICE (VO): Highest priority, minimum delay. Example: VoIP

™

VIDEO (VI): High priority, minimum delay. Example: IPTV

™

BEST EFFORT: (BE): Medium priority, medium throughput and delay. Example: Most traditional IP data.

™

BACKGROUND: (BK): Lowest priority, high throughput. Example: FTP
