WS 2000 Wireless Switch System Reference Guide9-50
In the Advanced section of the screen, the Disallow MU to MU Communications setting would keep mobile units from
communicating directly with each other. Leo believes that people sometimes share files directly, laptop to laptop, instead of
using the file server. Leo does not want to prevent this type of communication, so he leaves this option disabled.
The Use Voice Prioritization option allows voice over IP (VoIP) devices, such as net phones, to have high priority access
to the network. Without high priority access to the network, voice calls can rapidly degrade in quality when the network is
busy. Leo does not think anyone is doing VoIP, but he is not sure, so he leaves that option turned on.
Answer Broadcast ESS instructs the Access Ports on this WLAN to respond to communications from mobile units that do
not know what the ESSID for the wireless network is and which are using a default ESSID of 101. Leo knows that there are
no such units in the office; if there were they would not have worked with the previous access point. Leo leaves this
checkbox unchecked.
Multicast Address 1 and Multicast Address 2 are options included for compatibility with some VoIP phones which use
multicast packets. Listing the multicast address allows the voice packets to avoid the usual multicast queue and improves
the quality of the VoIP voice traffic. Leo doesn’t have any known need for these, so he leaves the addresses at the default.
Leo clicks the Apply button to save his changes.
