Hi,

My company is looking at getting a couple of Wireless IP phones.

Do the cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920's require cisco Aironet access
points, or can use generic access points?
If you don't use the Aironet's, what functionality will you lose?

Thanks,

Aironets have some ability to prioritize outbound traffic.

They can also VLAN by SSID very well.

I believe they also support a cisco only type of authentication the IP
phones can use (been a while on this one - the phones might support
something standard by now).

Hi,

I have tried using a Linksys AP for this it dose work fine but be aware
you should switch CDP off on the phone (If using CME it causes the
router to reboot when the phone registers with the AP). The other
drawback is if the AP gets busy you have no way of prioritising voice
traffic.
