Quality of Service checklist for voice over WLAN applications 187
— Nortel WLAN IP Telephony telephones support WEP, WPA-PSK,
or WPA2-PSK.
— Nortel recommends that you always use Open Authentication
because it is more secure.
— You can use a No WEP temporary SSID during troubleshooting so
that you can gather wireless data with visibility into the SpectraLink
Radio Protocol (SRP) data structures.
After troubleshooting is complete, disable this temporary SSID.
• Ensure 15% to 20% cell overlap between AP signal coverage areas.
• Always use two antennas on each AP.
— Enable diversity in each AP.
— Use full diversity in each AP, not partial or one-way diversity.
— Make this the standard for the RF environment.
Very special circumstances must exist before you make changes.
•
Provide priority for IP protocol 119 packets:
—
Assign voice packets to an AP QoS Class of Service with a latency
of 10 ms or less.
— Configure priority for both directions in both interfaces.
Priority gets the voice packets ahead of the queue inside the AP,
whether the interface is 802.11b radio or Ethernet.
—
Configure Voice Radio Contention Window Minimum to 0.
—
Configure Voice Radio Contention Window Maximum to 0.
—
Configure Voice Fixed Slot Size to 2.
—
Configure Voice Transmit Opportunity to 0.
On the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series with code 12.3(8)JA3 or later, click
WFA Default on QoS Radio 802.11g. Access the Categories page and
then configure the parameters for voice. This version has two boxes to
configure for each parameter. Do not click Optimize for Voice.
•
Enable WiFi Multi-Media (WMM) on the radio interface.
• Use VLAN support in the AP and in the network for security and
management:
— Assign the voice SSID to a VLAN.
— Enable the voice VLAN across the network between the AP, to
the SVP, to the Signaling Server, to the Call Manager and all
components in between.
— Assign all devices in this VLAN to one subnet.
