VoIP Wireless Network
Wi-Fi compliant APs that are manufactured by third-party vendors support the Cisco Unified Wireless IP
Phone 9971, but might not support key features such as Wi-Fi MultiMedia (WMM), Unscheduled Auto Power
Save Delivery (U-APSD), Traffic Specification (TSPEC), QoS Basic Service Set (QBSS), Dynamic Transmit
Power Control (DTPC), or proxy ARP.

Supported Antennas

Some Cisco access points require or allow external antennas. See the following URL for the list of supported

The Cisco Aironet Series 1130 and 1140 access points must be mounted on the ceiling because they
Note
possess omnidirectional antennas.

Set Up Wireless LAN

Ensure that the Wi-Fi coverage in the location where the wireless LAN is deployed is suitable for transmitting
video and voice packets.
If the Wi-Fi connectivity for voice and video is enabled for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971, you authenticate
the Wi-Fi network by using the WLAN Sign in application within your applications menu.
To enable the application, go to Applications > Administrator Settings > Network Setup > Wireless Setup
> WLAN Sign in Access and enable WLAN network.
To change the username or password, go to Applications > Administrator Settings.
