Configuring the Cisco 7920 Wireless IP Phone

The Cisco 7920 Wireless IP Phone is supported by Cisco CME 3.0 and later. This phone is configured like any other wireless device. Go to http://www.cisco.com/go/wireless for more information on setting up your wireless network for voice traffic.

The Cisco CME configuration required for a Cisco 7920 Wireless IP Phone is no different from any of the other IP phones discussed in the previous sections.
