OVERVIEW
Your access point can function in three different modes.
The default mode for your access point is AP mode.
AP mode is a regular access point for use in your wireless network.
AP Controller mode acts as the designated master of an AP array (group
of linked access points).
Managed AP mode acts as a “slave” AP within the AP array (controlled by
the AP Controller “master”).
In AP Controller mode the user interface will switch to Edimax Pro NMS.
This user manual is split into two parts: AP mode (blue) and Edimax Pro
NMS (grey).

Wi‐Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi‐Fi Alliance
interoperability certification based on the
IEEE 802.11e standard, which provides
Quality of Service (QoS) features to IEE 802.11 networks. WMM prioritizes
traffic according to four categories: background, best effort, video and voice.
Configuring WMM consists of adjusting parameters on queues for different
categories of wireless traffic. Traffic is sent to the following queues:
Background
Best Effort
Video
Voice
Low
Priority
Medium
Priority
High
Priority
High

High throughput, non time sensitive bulk
data e.g. FTP
Traditional IP data, medium throughput and

Time sensitive data such as VoIP and
streaming media with minimum time delay.
Queues automatically provide minimum transmission delays for video, voice,
multimedia and critical applications. The values can further be adjusted
manually:
57
AP Mode
CWMin
CWMax
AIFSN
TxOP
Minimum Contention Window (milliseconds):
This value is input to the initial random
backoff wait time algorithm for retry of a data
frame transmission. The backoff wait time will
be generated between 0 and this value. If the
frame is not sent, the random backoff value is
doubled until the value reaches the number
defined by CWMax (below). The CWMin value
must be lower than the CWMax value. The
contention window scheme helps to avoid
frame collisions and determine priority of
frame transmission. A shorter window has a
higher probability (priority) of transmission.
Maximum Contention Window (milliseconds):
This value is the upper limit to random
backoff value doubling (see above).
Arbitration Inter‐Frame Space (milliseconds):
Specifies additional time between when a
channel goes idle and the AP/client sends
data frames. Traffic with a lower AIFSN value
has a higher priority.
Transmission Opportunity (milliseconds): The
maximum interval of time an AP/client can
transmit. This makes channel access more
efficiently prioritized. A value of 0 means only
one frame per transmission. A greater value
effects higher priority.
