Overview of Configuring and Installing the Cisco
Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920
When deploying a new IP telephony system, system administrators and network
administrators must complete several initial configuration tasks to prepare the
network for IP telephony service. For information and a checklist for setting up
and configuring a complete Cisco IP telephony network, refer to the “System
Configuration Overview” chapter in the Cisco Unified CallManager System
Guide.
To add Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phones to the IP network, system administers
also need to perform a site survey to determine where to place and install access
points (APs) for wireless voice coverage. For detailed information about a voice
over WLAN deployment, refer to the
Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920
Design and Deployment Guide .
After you have set up the IP telephony system and configured system-wide
features in Cisco Unified CallManager, you can add IP phones to the system.
The following topics provide an overview of procedures for adding Cisco Unified
IP Phones to your network:
• Configuring Cisco Unified IP Phones in Cisco Unified CallManager,
