Purpose
802.11 is an open standard that
defines wireless methods of
transmitting Ethernet traffic and is
commonly called Wi-Fi. This
standard defines for radio
frequencies (RF) and data speed for
wireless LAN communications.
CDP is a device-discovery protocol
that runs on all Cisco-manufactured
equipment.
Using CDP, a device can advertise its
existence to other devices and receive
information about other devices in
the network.
DHCP dynamically allocates and
assigns an IP address to network
devices.
DHCP enables you to connect an
IP phone into the network and have
the phone become operational
without you needing to manually
assign an IP address or configure
additional network parameters.

An Overview of the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920
Usage Notes
Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 uses
the 802.11b standard with a range of
2.4-2.497 GHz RF and dynamic rate
scaling of 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps
speeds.
The Cisco IP Phone uses CDP to
communicate information such as
auxiliary VLAN ID, per-port power
management details, and Quality of
Service (QoS) configuration
information with the Cisco Catalyst
switch.
DHCP is enabled by default. If
disabled, you must manually
configure the IP address, subnet
mask, gateway, and an TFTP server
on each phone locally.
Cisco recommends that you use
DHCP custom option 150. With this
method, you configure the TFTP
server IP address as the option value.
For additional supported DCHP
configurations, refer to
Cisco CallManager System Guide.
