If the access point does not support CCX or proxy ARP is not enabled, then the idle battery life will be up to fifty percent less.

See the

"Configuring Proxy

ARP" section for more information.

Protocols

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series will use U-APSD (Unscheduled Auto Power Save Delivery) for power save

when in idle mode or when a phone call is active if WMM is enabled, where U-APSD is supported.

U-APSD helps optimize battery life.

Below is a sample packet sequence when using U-APSD.

If Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM) is disabled, which will disable U-APSD support, or U-APSD support is not available on the

access point, then the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series will use PS-POLL for power save when in idle mode and

when a phone call is active.

Below is a sample packet sequence when using PS-POLL.

If the "Call Power Save Mode" is set to "None", then the phone will use active mode and no power save will be used, which

will reduce the battery life.

Increasing the DTIM period can also increase the battery life. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series can use the

DTIM period to schedule wakeup periods to check for broadcast and multicast packets as well as any unicast packets.

For optimal battery life and performance, we recommend setting the DTIM period to "2" with a beacon period of "100 ms".
