Command History
Usage Guidelines Enabling IEEE 802.11 compliance phone support adds information to the access point beacons and
probe responses. This information helps some 802.11 phones make intelligent choices about the access
point to which they should associate. Some phones do not associate with an access point without this
additional information.
The dot11e parameter enables the future upgrade of the 7920 Wireless Phone firmware to support the standard
QBSS Load IE. The new 7920 Wireless Phone firmware will be announced at a later date.
Note This release continues to support your existing 7920 Wireless Phone firmware. Please do not
attempt to use the standard (IEEE 802.11e draft 13) QBSS Load IE with the 7920 Wireless
Phone until new phone firmware is available for you to upgrade your phones.
