Configuring Wi-Fi Multimedia Parameters

By default, a single WMM profile is configured on the SonicWall security appliance with the parameters set to the values on the 802.11e standard.

To customize the WMM configuration:
1
Navigate to the SonicPoint > Wi-Fi Multimedia page.

2
To modify the WMM profile, click the configure icon for that profile. Or to create a new WMM profile, click the Add button. The Add Wlan WMM Profile dialog displays.

3
For a new WMM profile, enter a Profile Name. The default name is wmmDefault.
4
The default WMM parameter values are auto-populated in the window. Modify the parameters to customize the WMM profile. For information about these categories, see WMM Access Categories.

When configuring the WMM profile, you can configure the size of the contention window (CWMin/CWMax) and the arbitration interframe space (AIFS) number when creating a WMM profile. These values can be configured individually for each priority, AC_BK, AC_BE, AC_VI, and AC_VO on the Access Point (SonicPointN) and for the Station (firewall).

5
Click the Mapping tab to customize how the Access Categories are mapped to DSCP values.

The Mapping tab allows you to map priority levels to DSCP values. The default DSCP values are as same as the ones in Firewall > Access Rules, QoS mapping.

6
Click OK. The WMM Profiles table is updated.
