CP-8821 wireless phones experience issues when deployed in some Wireless LAN (WLAN) environments.
CP-8821 new wireless phone adoption guidelines are not followed and other related deployment issues.
Previous software releases have resolved all known showstoppers and quality issues related to roaming, connectivity, audio-voice quality, phone freeze, and miscellaneous issues. The Out of Range (OOR) experience has been enhanced and customer reported miscellaneous non-critical defects have been resolved. Finally, the latest 8821 firmware release 11.0(3)SR6 further enhanced the OOR experience and improved scanning algorithm.
It is recommended that customers adopt 11.0(3) SR6 in order to avoid past known issues.
Customers that deploy the 8821 in new and established WLAN environments might see these issues:
Software updates and configuration modifications are required for Unified Communications Manager, the Cisco WLAN Controller, and the 8821 Wireless Phone. While these modifications do not resolve all known issues, they do address the most critical problems.
It is HIGHLY recommended that the customer becomes familiar with instructions and content of the 8821 Wireless Deployment Guide found on Cisco.com.
