APs (APs) and key Cisco IP telephony components, including Cisco Unified Communications Manager, to provide wireless voice communication. In a traditional LAN, IP phones and computers use cables to transmit messages and data packets. Cisco Unified WLAN delivers security, scalability, reliability, ease of deployment, and management similar to wired LANs.
Cisco IOS software provides features for managing voice traffic. In some WLANs, each AP has a wired connection to an Ethernet switch, such as a Cisco Catalyst 3750, that is configured on a LAN. The switch provides access to gateways and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server to support wireless IP telephony.
2.4 GHz—Does not require licensing. To reduce interference within this bandwidth, WLANs transmit on non-overlapping channels, which are typically limited to three channels, although Japan uses four channels. Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.0 OL-15985-01...
DSSS technology multiplexes chunks of data over several frequencies so that multiple devices can communicate without interference. Each device has a special code that identifies its data packets and all others are ignored. Cisco wireless 802.11b/g products use DSSS technology to support multiple devices on the WLAN.

Components of the VoIP Wireless Network Associating to an AP At startup, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G scans for APs with Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) and encryption types that it recognizes. The phone builds and maintains a list of eligible APs and uses the following variables to determine the best AP.
Page 39
With CAC, QoS is maintained in a network overload scenario by ensuring that the number of active voice calls does not exceed the configured limits on the AP. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G can integrate layer 2 TSpec admission control with layer 3 Cisco Unified Communications Manager admission control (RSVP).
Implementing QoS in the connected Ethernet switch is highly desirable to maintain good voice quality. The COS and DSCP values that the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G sets do not need to be modified. To configure QoS correctly on the AP, see the...
DHCP allocates IP addresses dynamically and reuses IP addresses when devices no longer need them. If DHCP is enabled in the network, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G uses the DHCP scope settings in the DHCP server to perform the phone provisioning bootup process. You must configure the settings of the DHCP server in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network.
WLANs. To ensure that voice traffic is not manipulated or intercepted by intruders, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G and Cisco Aironet APs are supported in the Cisco SAFE Security architecture. For more information about security in networks, refer to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns744/networking_solutions_program_home.html.

RADIUS server. Note In the Cisco ACS, by default, the PAC expires in one week. If the phone has an expired PAC, authentication with the RADIUS server takes longer while the phone gets a new PAC. To avoid the PAC provisioning delays, set the PAC expiration period to 90 days or longer on the ACS or RADIUS server.
Encryption Methods To ensure that voice traffic is secure, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G supports WEP, TKIP, and Advanced Encryption Standards (AES) for encryption. When using these mechanisms for encryption, both the signaling Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) packets and voice Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets are encrypted between the AP and the wireless IP phone.
Page 45
• If AKM and 802.1x are used, the authentication method is LEAP. • The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G uses network EAP for 802.1x. Open EAP is also available.

Check that the correct EAP username and password are entered on phone. AP Error—Cannot support all requested capabilities On the access point, check that CKIP/CMIC is not enabled for the voice VLAN SSID. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G does not support these features.
Checking Network Connectivity If the network is down between the access point and the TFTP server or Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the phone cannot start up properly. Ensure that IP connectivity exists between the WLAN and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and TFTP servers.
8-12. Verifying IP Addresses You should verify the IP addressing for the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G. If you are using DHCP, the DHCP server should provide these values. If you have assigned a static IP address to the phone, you must enter these values manually.
If the Cisco CallManager service is not running, all devices on the network that rely on it to make phone calls will be affected. If the TFTP service is not running, many devices will not be able to start up successfully.
If you continue to have problems with a particular phone that other suggestions in this chapter do not resolve, the configuration file might be corrupted. To create a new configuration file, follow these steps: Procedure From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, select Device > Phone > Find to locate the phone Step 1 experiencing problems. Step 2 Choose Delete to remove the phone from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
If the network connection and Cisco Unified Communications Manager connection are stable, a Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G should not reset on its own. Typically, a phone resets if it has problems connecting to the access point and LAN or to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Resolving Voice Quality and Roaming Problems Cisco Unified IP Phones send messages with request type 151 to renew their DHCP address leases. If the DHCP server expects messages with request type 150, the lease will be denied, forcing the phone to restart and request a new IP address from the DHCP server.
• Check your gateway and IP routing for voice problems. Check if a firewall or NAT is in the path of the RTP packets. If so, you can use Cisco IOS and • PIXNAT to modify the connections so that two-way audio is possible.
Delays in Voice Conversation While Roaming Use the Site Survey Utility on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G to see if there is another acceptable access point as a roaming option. The next access point should have an RSSI value of 35 or greater to roam successfully.
Phone Does Not Roam Back to Preferred Band When the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G web pages is set to 5 GHz band as the preferred network and is authenticated to an AP on that band and roams to an area in which 5 GHz is not longer available but 2.4 GHz is available, the phone operates.
