Understanding the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G provides wireless voice communication over an IP network. Like traditional analog telephones, you can place and receive phone calls and access features such as hold, transfer, and speed dial. In addition, because the phone connects to your wireless local area network (WLAN), you can place and receive phone calls from anywhere in your wireless environment.

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G is an 802.11 dual band wireless device that provides comprehensive voice communications in conjunction with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Aironet 802.11b/g and Cisco Aironet 802.11a Access Points (APs) in a private business communications network. This phone model, like other network devices, must be configured and managed. This phone encodes G.711a, G.711u, G.729a, G.729ab, G.722/iLBC, and decodes G.711a, G711b, G.711u, G.729, G729a, G729b, and G729ab. The phone also supports uncompressed wideband (16 bits, 16 kHz) audio.

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G is hearing aid compatible (HAC) but does not have any TTY features. It also has a centered "dot" or "nib" on the 5 key that is a tactile identifier.

The physical characteristics include:

Resistance to damage from dropping the phone

Tolerance of anti-bacterial and alcohol-based wipes

Latex and lead free

Resistance against liquid splashes

Dust resistance

Shock proof and vibration proof

USB 1.1 interface

Bluetooth Technology

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G is a full-feature telephone and a qualified Bluetooth wireless device (Qualified Device ID (QDID) B014396). In addition to basic call-handling features, your phone operates with Bluetooth wireless headsets, including certain handsfree call features.

Bluetooth devices operate in the unlicensed Industrial Scientific Medicine (ISM) band of 2.4GHz. This unlicensed band in most countries includes the frequency range from 2400 to 2483.5 MHz. Synchronous voice channels are provided by using circuit switching and asynchronous data channels are provided by using packet switching.

Bluetooth uses an integrated Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) to avoid interference. Every 625 usec (1/1,000,000 of a second) the channel changes or hops to another frequency within the 2402 to 2480 MHz range. This computes to 1600 hops every second.

On the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, a Bluetooth module and 802.11 WLAN module co-exist in the phone. This co-existence greatly reduces and avoids radio interference between the Bluetooth and 802.11bg radio.

Bluetooth devices fit into to three different power classes, as shown in Table 1-1.

Table 1-1 Bluetooth Maximum Permitted Power and Range by Class

For more information about WLAN configuration and Bluetooth, see VoIP WLAN Configuration, page 2-21. User-specific information is contained in the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G User Guide.

For more information about Bluetooth and hands-free profiles, refer to http://www.bluetooth.com.

Handsfree Profile

Your phone supports certain features of the Handsfree Profile, which is a standard set of features that enable users of handsfree devices (such as Bluetooth wireless headsets) to perform certain tasks without having to handle the phone, allowing users to be "handsfree." For example, instead of pressing Redial on your phone, you can redial a number from your Bluetooth wireless headset according to instructions from the headset manufacturer.

These handsfree features apply to Bluetooth wireless headsets used with your Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G:

Redial—Recalls the last number dialed.

Reject incoming call—Uses the iDivert option to direct the call to voicemail.

Three-way calling—When there is an active call and another incoming call or call on hold, you may choose to handle the calls in one of two ways:

End the active call and answer or resume a waiting call.

Put the active call on hold and answer or resume a waiting call.


Note Handsfree devices may differ in how features are activated. Handsfree device manufacturers may also use different terms when referring to the same feature.

For more information on using handsfree features, see the documentation provided by the device manufacturer.


Pairing with Headsets

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G pairs with headsets by using a shared key authentication/encryption method. This process requires confirmation of a PIN specific to the headset, commonly "0000." The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G can be paired with more than one headset at a time. Pairing is typically performed once for each headset used with the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G. Once pairing is complete, the headset automatically connects to the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G when both devices are powered on and in range.


Note The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G can only be connected to one Bluetooth-enabled headset at a time. Further, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G only supports communication with Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled devices qualified by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).

Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones

Implementing security in a wireless network protects against data tampering to Cisco Unified Communications Manager data, call signaling, and media stream. It also reduces the chances for identity theft. To reduce the threats, the Cisco wireless LAN (WLAN) provides options for user authentication with servers and for encrypting communications streams between phones and network devices.

For information about supported security options for the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, see the "Authentication Methods" section on page 2-16.

For information about security features supported by Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified IP Phones, see the "Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones" section.

For more information about these features and about Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified IP Phone security, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

For information about current security settings on a phone, choose SETTINGS > System Configuration > Security. For more information, see the "Viewing Security Information" section on page 8-1.


Note Most security features are available only if a certificate trust list (CTL) is installed on the phone. For more information about the CTL, refer to "Configuring the Cisco CTL Client" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.


Table 1-3 Description of Security Features 

Feature
Description

Image authentication

Prevents tampering with the firmware image before it is loaded on a phone by using signed binary files (with the extension.sbn). Tampering with the image causes a phone to fail the authentication process and reject the new image.

Customer-site certificate installation

Authenticates each Cisco Unified IP Phone by using a unique certificate. Phones include a manufacturing installed certificate (MIC), but for additional security, you can specify in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration that a certificate be installed by using the Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF). Alternatively, you can install a locally significant certificate (LSC) from the Security Configuration menu on the phone. See the "Configuring the Security Certificate on the Phone" section on page 5-12 for more information.

Device authentication

Occurs between the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server and the phone when each entity accepts the certificate of the other entity. Determines whether a secure connection between the phone and a Cisco Unified Communications Manager should occur, and, if necessary, creates a secure signaling path between the entities using TLS protocol. Cisco Unified Communications Manager will not register phones unless authenticated by the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

File authentication

Validates digitally-signed files that the phone downloads. The phone validates the signature to make sure that file tampering did not occur after the file creation. Files that fail authentication are not written to Flash memory on the phone. The phone rejects such files without further processing.

Signaling Authentication

Uses the TLS protocol to validate that no tampering has occurred to signaling packets during transmission.

Manufacturing installed certificate

Each Cisco Unified IP Phone contains a unique manufacturing installed certificate (MIC), which is used for device authentication. The MIC is a permanent unique proof of identity for the phone, and allows Cisco Unified Communications Manager to authenticate the phone.

Secure Cisco Unified SRST reference

After you configure a SRST reference for security and then reset the dependent devices in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, the TFTP server adds the SRST certificate to the phone cnf.xml file and sends the file to the phone. A secure phone then uses a TLS connection to interact with the SRST-enabled router.

Media encryption

Uses SRTP to ensure that the media streams between supported devices proves secure and that only the intended device receives and reads the data. Includes creating a media master key pair for the devices, delivering the keys to the devices, and securing the delivery of the keys while the keys are in transport.

Signaling encryption by using TLS

Ensures that all SCCP signaling messages that are sent between the device and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server are encrypted.

CAPF (Certificate Authority Proxy Function)

Implements parts of the certificate generation procedure that are too processing-intensive for the phone, and it interacts with the phone for key generation and certificate installation. The CAPF can be configured to request certificates from customer-specified certificate authorities on behalf of the phone, or it can be configured to generate certificates locally.

Security profiles

Defines whether the phone is non-secure, authenticated, or encrypted. See the "Understanding Security Profiles" section for more information.

Encrypted configuration files

Lets you ensure the privacy of phone configuration files.

Optional disabling of the web server functionality for a phone

You can prevent access to a phone web page, which displays a variety of operational statistics for the phone.

Phone hardening

Additional security options, which you control from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration:

Disabling Gratuitous ARP (GARP)

Disabling access to the Setting menus

Disabling access to web pages for a phone

Note You can view current settings for the GARP Enabled, and Web Access options by looking at the phone's Device Information menu. For more information, see the "Viewing Security Information" section on page 8-1.

Security Restrictions

Identifying Authenticated, Encrypted, and Protected Phone Calls

When security is implemented for a phone, you can identify authenticated or encrypted phone calls by icons on the screen on the phone. You can also determine if the connected phone is secure and protected if a security tone plays at the beginning of the call.

In an authenticated call, all devices participating in the establishment of the call are authenticated by Cisco Unified Communications Manager. When a call in progress is authenticated, the call progress icon to the right of the call duration timer in the phone screen changes to this icon:

In an encrypted call, all devices participating in the establishment of the call are authenticated by Cisco Unified Communications Manager. In addition, call signaling and media streams are encrypted. An encrypted call offers a high level of security, providing integrity and privacy to the call. When a call in progress is being encrypted, the call progress icon to the right of the call duration timer in the phone screen changes to this icon:


Note If the call is routed through non-IP call legs, for example, PSTN, the call may be nonsecure even though it is encrypted within the IP network and has a lock icon associated with it.


In a protected call, a security tone plays at the beginning of a call to indicate that the other connected phone is also receiving and transmitting encrypted audio. If your call is connected to a non-protected phone, the security tone does not play.


Note Protected calling is supported for connections between two phones only. Some features, such as conference calling, shared lines, Extension Mobility, and Join Across Lines are not available when protected calling is configured. Protected calls are not authenticated.


Establishing and Identifying Protected Calls

A protected call is established when your phone, and the phone on the other end, is configured for protected calling. The other phone can be in the same Cisco IP network, or on a network outside the IP network. Protected calls can only be made between two phones. Conference calls and other multiple-line calls are not supported.

A protected call is established using this process:

1. A user initiates the call from a protected phone (protected security mode).

2. The phone displays the icon (encrypted) on the phone screen. This icon indicates that the phone is configured for secure (encrypted) calls, but this does not mean that the other connected phone is also protected.

3. A security tone plays if the call is connected to another protected phone, indicating that both ends of the conversation are encrypted and protected. If the call is connected to a non-protected phone, then the secure tone is not played.


Note Protected calling is supported for conversations between two phones. Some features, such as conference calling, shared lines, Extension Mobility, and Join Across Lines are not available when protected calling is configured.

Security Restrictions

When using a phone that is not configured for encryption, the user cannot barge into an encrypted call. When barge fails in this case, a reorder tone (fast busy tone) plays on the barge initiator phone.

If the phone is configured for encryption, the user can barge into an authenticated or non-secure call from the encrypted phone. After the barge occurs, Cisco Unified Communications Manager classifies the call as non-secure.

If the phone is configured for encryption, the user can barge into an encrypted call, and the phone indicates that the call is encrypted.

A user can barge into an authenticated call, even if the phone that is used to barge is non-secure. The authentication icon continues to display on the authenticated phones in the call, even if the initiator's phone does not support security.

Overview of Configuring and Installing the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G

When deploying a new IP telephony system, system administrators and network administrators must complete several 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 Communications Manager System Guide.

After you have set up the IP telephony system and configured system-wide features in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can add IP phones to the system.
