ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless N Access Point WNDAP350 
Station EDCA Parameters. Specify the Station EDCA parameters for different types 
of data transmitted from the wireless client to the WNDAP350 wireless access point. If 
WMM is disabled, you cannot configure Station EDCA parameters.
Table 6
 describes the settings for QoS queues.
Enabling Wireless Bridging
The ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless N Access Point WNDAP350 lets you build large bridged 
wireless networks. Select the desired wireless access point mode for your environment: 
Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge. In this mode, the WNDAP350 can communicate with 
another bridge mode wireless access point. Select the Enable Wireless Client 
Association option to enable wireless clients to associate with this access point.
When you click the Edit button, you must enter the Profile Name and the MAC address 
(physical address) of the other Bridge mode wireless access point in the fields provided. 
WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK are supported. WPA2-PSK can (and should) be used to 
protect this communication.
Table 6.  QoS Queues and Parameters
QoS Queue
Description
Data 0 (Voice)
High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and 
streaming media are automatically sent to this queue.
Data 1(Video)
High priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is 
automatically sent to this queue.
Data 2 (Best Effort)
Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP 
data is sent to this queue.
Data 3 (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).
AIFS (Arbitration Inter-Frame 
Space)
Specifies a wait time (in milliseconds) for data frames. Valid values for AIFS 
are 1 through 255.
cwMin (Minimum Contention 
Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) of a range from which the initial random backoff 
wait time is determined. Valid values for the cwmin are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 
127, 255, 511, or 1024. The value for cwMin must be lower than the value 
for cwMax.
cwMax (Maximum 
Contention Window)
Upper limit (in milliseconds) for the doubling of the random backoff value. 
Valid values for the cwmax are 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255, 511, or 1024. 
The value for cwMax must be higher than the value for cwMin.
Max. Burst Length
Specifies (in milliseconds) the Maximum Burst Length allowed for packet 
bursts on the wireless network. A packet burst is a collection of multiple 
frames transmitted without header information. Valid values for maximum 
burst length are 0.0 through 999.9.
