Site Survey Verification
Before the initial deployment of wireless phones in the WLAN, it is recommended that a site survey is
performed to verify that the APs are providing adequate coverage and that wireless phones can roam
from one AP to another with no audio problems. After the initial deployment, it is a good practice to
perform site surveys at regular intervals to ensure continued coverage and roaming.
From the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7921G, you can use the Neighbor List utility or Site Survey
utility from the Settings > Status menu.
The Neighbor List utility provides information about the current AP and the closest neighbors tracked
by the phone. For more information see
The Site Survey utility produces a report, written as a temporary HTML file, upon termination of the
survey. This Site Survey Report is accessible from the phone web page for viewing or forwarding to
Cisco TAC for troubleshooting purposes. For more information, see
You should use the wireless IP phone and the Aironet Client Utility (ACU) to verify that the signal range
and transmission power provide adequate coverage for roaming phones.
Use the following topics for information about performing the site survey:
