the station to the access point. With WMM disabled, you can still set downstream access-point-to-station
QoS parameters but no station-to-access-point QoS parameters.
• To disable WMM:
USR5453-AP#
set radio wlan0 wme off
USR5453-AP#
get radio wlan0 wme
off
• To enable WMM:
USR5453-AP#
set radio wlan0 wme on
USR5453-AP#
get radio wlan0 wme

About Access Point and Station EDCA Parameters
AP Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the access point
to the client station (access-point-to-station).
Station Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) Parameters affect traffic flowing from the client
station to the access point (station-to-access-point). Keep in mind that station-to-access-point parameters
apply only when WMM is enabled as described in “Enable/Disable Wi-Fi Multimedia” on page 239
.
Understanding the Queues for Access Point and Station
The same types of queues are defined for different kinds of data transmitted from access-point-to-station
and station-to-access-point but they are referenced by differently depending on whether you are
configuring access point or station parameters.
Distinguishing between Access Point and Station Settings in QoS Commands
Access Point - To get and set QoS settings on the access point, use "tx-queue" class name in the
command.
Station - To get and set QoS settings on the client station, use the "wme-queue" class name in the
command.
Data Access Point Station
Voice - Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data
such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this
queue.
data0 vo
Video - High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video
data is automatically sent to this queue.
data1 vi
Best Effort - Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay.
Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue.
data2 be
Background - Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that
requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this
queue (FTP data, for example).
