The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G and 7926G are 802.11 dual-band wireless devices that provide comprehensive voice communications in conjunction with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and with Cisco Aironet 802.11b/g and Cisco Aironet 802.11a access points (APs) in a private business communications network.

The phone is a qualified Bluetooth wireless device (Qualified Device ID [QDID] B014396). The phone provides voice communication over the same wireless LAN that your computer uses, allowing you to place and receive phone calls, put calls on hold, transfer calls, make conference calls, and so on.

The following figure shows the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7926G looks similar.

This phone model, like other network devices, must be configured and managed. This phone encodes G.711a, G.711u, G.729a, G.729ab, and G.722/iLBC codecs, and decodes G.711a, G711b, G.711u, G.729, G729a, G729b, and G729ab codecs. The phone also supports uncompressed wideband (16 bits, 16 kHz) audio.

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G and 7926G is hearing aid compatible (HAC) but do not have any TTY features. They have 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 antibacterial and alcohol-based wipes

• Latex- and lead-free

• Resistance against liquid splashes

• Dust resistance

• Shockproof and vibration-proof

• USB 1.1 interface

In addition to basic call-handling features, your phone can provide enhanced productivity features that extend your call-handling capabilities.

Depending on the configuration, your phone supports:

• Use of Bluetooth wireless headsets, including certain hands-free call features

• Wireless access to your phone number and the corporate directory

• A local phone book that can store up to 200 contacts and speed-dial hot keys that can be assigned to phone book contacts

• Access to network data, XML applications, and web-based services

• Online customizing of phone features and services from your User Options web pages

• An online help system that displays information on the phone screen

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7926G contains a bar code scanner.

Your Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G-EX is an Atmospheres Explosibles (ATEX) Zone 2/Class 22 and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Division 2/Class 1 certified full-feature telephone. The phone is certified for use in potentially explosive environments in the gas, oil, and chemical production fields as well as dust-filled environments. The phone has Ingress Protection 64 (IP 64) level protection, indicating dust-tight equipment that is protected against splashing water. The phone has an industry-standard yellow styling that offers fast recognition in emergency situations.

The physical characteristics include:

• Atmospheres Explosibles (ATEX) Zone 2/Class 22 certification prevents ignition of surrounding gas vapors by the phone.

• Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Division 2/Class 1 certification provides access to mobile collaborative communications.

• Industry-standard yellow styling offers fast recognition in emergency situations.

• Ingress Protection 64 (IP 64) level protection, indicating dust-tight equipment which is protected against splashing water.

• The large 2-inch color (176 x 220 pixels) display makes viewing easy.

• Resistance to damage from dropping the phone.

• Tolerance of antibacterial and alcohol-based wipes.

• Latex- and lead-free.

• Shockproof and vibration-proof.

• USB 1.1 interface.

Note	ATEX Zone 2 certification: Zone 2 is defined as an area in which an explosive gas atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation and if it does occur, is likely to do so only infrequently and will exist for a short period only (for example, less than 10 hours per year).

Note

CSA Class 1 Division II certification: Class 1 is a location where a quantity of flammable gas or vapor sufficient to produce an explosive or ignitable mixture may be present in the air. Division II is a location where a classified hazard does not normally exist but is possible under abnormal conditions.

In addition to basic call-handling features, your phone can provide enhanced productivity features that extend your call-handling capabilities.

You can use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to set up phone registration criteria and calling search spaces, to configure corporate directories and services, and to modify phone button templates. See Telephony Features Available and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for additional information.

For more information about the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, see Cisco Unified Communications Manager documentation suite at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/tsd_products_support_series_home.html.

You can also use the context-sensitive help available within the application for guidance.

As with other network devices, you must configure wireless IP phones to access Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the rest of the IP network using the wireless LAN. There are two methods for configuring network settings such as DHCP, TFTP, and for configuring wireless settings for the phone.

• Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone web pages

• Network Profiles menu on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone

You access the configuration web pages by using a browser from your PC. You configure network settings on the phone itself.

Because the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone is a network device, you can obtain detailed status information about it. This information can assist you in troubleshooting problems that users might encounter when using their IP phones.

If you are a system administrator, you are the primary source of information for Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone users in your network or company. To ensure that you distribute the most current feature and procedural information, familiarize yourself with Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone documentation. Make sure you visit the Cisco Unified IP Phone web site:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/tsd_products_support_maintain_and_operate.html

From this site, you can view additional phone documentation.

In addition to providing documentation, it is important to inform users about available Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone features (including features specific to your company or network) and about how to access and customize those features, if appropriate.

To add phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can use:

• Autoregistration

• Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration

• Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)

• BAT and the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support (TAPS)

For general information about configuring phones in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, see the "Cisco Unified IP Phone" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.

After you have added the phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you can complete the phone installation. You can install the phone or the user can install the phone. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G Installation Guide provides directions for assembling the phone and accessories and charging the battery.

Before using the phone to connect to the wireless LAN, you need to configure a network profile for the phone. You can use the phone web pages to set up the network profile and other phone settings, or you can configure the network profile using the menus on the phone.

If you use autoregistration that is part of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you need to update the specific configuration information for the phone such as associating the phone with a user, changing the softkey template, or changing the directory number (DN).

Note	Before you install a phone, even if it is new, upgrade the phone to the current firmware image. For information about upgrading, see the readme file for your phone which is located at: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ip-7900ser-crypto.
