For more information about TCP and UDP ports used by the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TCP and UDP Port Usage document at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/port/7_1_2/CCM_7.1.2PortList.pdf...
Configuring Cisco IOS Access Points Use the following QoS policy on the Cisco IOS access point (AP) to enable DSCP to CoS (UP) mapping. This allows RTP packets to be placed into the voice queue, if those packets are marked correctly, when received at the access point level.
Note: When using the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller, DSCP trust must be implemented or trust the UDP data ports used by the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller (LWAPP = 12222 and 12223; CAPWAP = 5246 and 5247) on all interfaces where wireless packets will traverse to ensure QoS markings are correctly set.
Enable a data rate that is enabled on the access point. (Default setting is 12 Mbps) • Cisco Access Points will only accept a minimum PHY rate of 5.5, 6, 11, 12 or 24 Mbps, so ensure that one of these •...
Pre-Call Admission Control If Call Admission Control (TSPEC) is enabled on the access point, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series sends an Add Traffic Stream (ADDTS) to the access point to request bandwidth in order to place or receive a call. If the AP sends an ADDTS successful message then the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series establishes the call.
Roaming Admission Control During a call, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series measures Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Packet Error Rate (PER) values for the current and all available access points to make roaming decisions. If the original access point where the call was established had Call Admission Control (TSPEC) enabled, then the wireless IP phone will send an ADDTS request during the roam to the new access point.
If the preferred band is not available, then the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series will try to use the less preferred band if available. If the phone roams out of coverage of the preferred band, where the less preferred band signal is available, then the phone will attempt to associate to that less preferred band.
When channel parking is active, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series will discontinue the scanning of the 5 GHz band and potentially roam to a 2.4 GHz neighbor, but also may stay on the currently connected 5 GHz AP if that is the strongest signal received.
5 GHz (802.11a) The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series supports Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC) from 802.11h, which are required when using channels operating at 5.25 - 5.725 GHz, which are 15 of the 23 possible channels.
There are only 3 non-overlapping channels in the 2.4 GHz frequency range (channels 1, 6, 11). In Japan, channel 14 can be utilized as a fourth non-overlapping channel when using 802.11b access points. Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series Deployment Guide...
Signal Strength and Coverage To ensure acceptable voice quality, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series should always have a signal of -67 dBm or higher when using 2.4 or 5 GHz and ensure the Packet Error Rate (PER) is no higher than 1%.

This may be necessary if there is an intermittent interferer present in an area. Enable ClientLink if using 802.11n capable access points. CleanAir should be enabled if using capable access points (i.e. Cisco Aironet 3500 Series). Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series Deployment Guide...
In the DFS (802.11h) configuration, channel announcement and quite mode should be enabled. Power constraint should be left un-configured or set to 0 dBm as DTPC will be used by the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series to control the transmission power.
Roaming clients are not limited to using the reserved roaming bandwidth, but is to reserve some bandwidth in case all other bandwidth is utilized. Will want to ensure load-based CAC is enabled, which is available in the 4.1 release for the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller, but not currently available on the autonomous access point platform.
Page 61
Call Admission Control for Video should be disabled. After enabling Call Admission Control, the following configuration should be enabled, which can be displayed in the “show run-config”. Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series Deployment Guide...
Page 62
Also ensure that the PHY rate configured on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series is enabled as a nominal rate in the STREAM configuration of the autonomous access point. Recommend to use the defaults, where 5.5, 6.0, 11.0, 12.0 and 24.0 Mbps are enabled as nominal rates for 802.11b/g and 6.0, 12.0 and 24.0 Mbps enabled for 802.11a.
The first version from Cisco was on a 0-100 scale and was not based on clear channel assessment (CCA), so it does not account for channel utilization, but only the 802.11 traffic traversing that individual access point’s radio. So it does not account for other 802.11 energy or interferers using the same frequencies.
As of the 4.2.207.0, 5.2.193.0 and 6.0.182.0 releases this feature is disabled by default but can be enabled optionally. To view the Auto-Immune configuration on the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller, telnet or SSH to the controller and enter the following command.
Configuring the WLAN Controller EAP-Request and EAPOL-Key Timeouts If using EAP, the EAP-Request Timeout on the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller should be set to at least 20 seconds. In later versions of Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller software, the default EAP-Request Timeout was changed from 2 to 30 seconds.
Configuring Proxy ARP To advertise the proxy ARP information element, ensure that Aironet extensions are enabled. Ensure proxy ARP is enabled, where ARP Unicast Mode will be displayed as disabled on the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller. Telnet or SSH to the controller and enter “show network” or “show network summary” depending on the Cisco Unified Wireless LAN Controller version.
The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series has an HTTPS enabled web interface that can be accessed via the 802.11a/b/g radio or USB.
