Ubee Interactive Using the Bridging OptionUbee DDW365 Wireless Cable Modem Subscriber User Guide • October 2013 759.5 Using the Bridging OptionUse the Bridging option to configure the DDW365 to act as a wireless network bridgeand establish wireless links with other wireless access points. To establish a bridge, youneed to know the MAC address of the peer device, that must be in wireless bridging modeas well. The DDW365 can establish up to four wireless links with other wireless accesspoints. When wireless devices are in wireless bridging mode, they form a wirelessdistribution system that allows computers in one LAN to connect to the computers in theother LAN.CautionAvoid bridge loops when you enable bridging devices. Bridge loops cause broadcast traffic tocircle the network endlessly. This can degrade throughput and disrupt communications.CWminCWmaxAIFSNTXOP (b) Limit (usec)TXOP (a/g) Limit (usec)Discard Oldest FirstSets the time for the following fields: CWmin – Contention window minimum CWmax – Contention window maximum AIFS – Arbitration inter-frame space TXOP – Transmit opportunity Discard Oldest First – Removes oldest frame when set toOn.EDCA STA Parameters Allows you to prioritize wireless network traffic for receivingterminals. Access categories are: AC_BE – Best Effort, medium throughput and delay. Mosttraditional IP data is sent to this queue. AC_BK – Background, high throughput. Bulk data thatrequires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive issent to this queue (for example, FTP data). AC_VI – Video AC_VO – VoiceWMM TXOP Parameters WMM TXOP (Wireless Multi-Media Transmit OpportunityParameters) are used to control the Access Category (AC) foreach type of Wireless traffic, including Best Effort (BE),Background (BK), Video (VI), and Voice (VO) traffic categories.Transmission rates will automatically adjust for each category.These settings should be left at their default values.
