Configuring the QoS policy on a WM-AD
The following is an overview of the steps involved in configuring the QoS on a WM-AD.
Step one – Define the QoS mode to employ on the WM-AD:
● Legacy – Enables DL (downlink) classification for all clients
● WMM:
● Enables WMM support
● Enables DL classification for WMM clients
● Enables UL (uplink) classification in WMM clients
● 802.11e:
● Enables 802.11e support
● Enables DL classification for 802.11e clients
● Enables UL classification in 802.11e clients
WMM and 802.11e are similar but, they use different signaling (same as WPA and WPA2).
Step two – Enabling Turbo Voice:
● Ensures WM-AD is optimized for voice performance and capacity
● Can be enabled or disabled on individual WM-ADs
● If Turbo Voice is enabled, together with QoS modes Legacy, WMM, or 802.11e, DL voice traffic is
sent via Turbo Voice queue instead of voice queue. A separate turbo voice queue allows for some
WM-ADs to use the Turbo Voice parameters for voice traffic, while other WM-ADs use the voice
parameters for voice traffic.
● If WMM mode is also enabled, WMM clients use Turbo Voice-like contention parameters for UL
voice traffic.
● If 802.11e mode is also enabled, 802.11e clients use Turbo Voice-like contention parameters for UL
voice traffic.
