QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) enhances the experience of

using a network by prioritizing the traffic of different

applications.

A QoS Rule identifies a specific message flow and

assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications,

the priority classifiers ensure the right priorities and

specific QoS Rules are not required.

QoS supports overlaps between rules. If more than

one rule matches a specific message flow, the rule

with the highest priority will be used.

Enable this option if you want to allow QoS to

prioritize your traffic

Priority Classifiers.

Allows the access point to recognize HTTP

transfers for many common audio and video

streams and prioritize them above other traffic.

Such streams are frequently used by digital

media players.

When enabled, this option causes the access point to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic streams that it doesn’t

otherwise recognize, based on the behavior that the streams exhibit. This acts to de-prioritize streams that exhibit bulk

transfer characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive traffic, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal

priority.

DHCP Server

Dynamic Pool Settings

The DHCP address pool defines the range of the

IP address that can be assigned to stations in the

network. A Dynamic Pool allows wireless stations

to receive an available IP with lease time control. If

needed or required in the network, the DAP-2553 is

capable of acting as a DHCP server.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on

the network. This protocol simplifies network

management and allows new wireless devices

to receive IP addresses automatically without

the need to manually assign new IP addresses.

Select

Enable

to allow the DAP-2553 to function

as a DHCP server.

Input the first IP address available for assignment

on your network.

Enter the number of IP addresses available for

assignment. IP addresses are increments of the IP address specified in the “IP Assigned From” field.

All devices in the network must have the same subnet mask to communicate. Enter the submask for the network here.

Enter the IP address of the gateway on the network.

Specify the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server address for the wireless network. WINS is a system that

determines the IP address of a network computer that has a dynamically assigned IP address.
