Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 and 8821-EX Wireless LAN Deployment Guide

Cisco Autonomous Access Points

When configuring Cisco Autonomous Access Points, use the following guidelines:

• Ensure 802.11r (FT) or CCKM is Enabled

• Configure the Data Rates as necessary

• Enable DTPC

• Configure Quality of Service (QoS)

• Set the WMM Policy to Required

• Ensure Aironet Extensions is Enabled

• Disable Public Secure Packet Forwarding (PSPF)

• Set IGMP Snooping to Enabled

802.11 Network Settings

It is recommended to have the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821 and 8821-EX operate on the 5 GHz band only due to have many

channels available and not as many interferers as the 2.4 GHz band has.

If wanting to use 5 GHz, ensure the 802.11a/n/ac network status is Enabled.
