Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 Administration Guide for Cisco CallManager Release 4.0 and 4.1

OL-7104-01

Chapter 2

An Overview of the Wireless Network

Components of the VoIP Wireless Network

Internet Protocol (IP)

Messaging protocol that addresses

and sends packets across the

network.

To communicate using IP, network

devices must have an assigned IP

address, subnet, and gateway.

IP addresses, subnet, and gateway

identifications are automatically

assigned if you are using the

Cisco IP Phone with DHCP. If you

are not using DHCP, you must

manually assign these properties to

each phone locally.

Real-Time Transport

(RTP)

Standard for transporting real-time

data, such as interactive voice and

video, over data networks.

Cisco IP Phones use the RTP

protocol to send and receive

real-time voice traffic from other

phones and gateways.

Skinny Client Control

Protocol (SCCP)

Uses Cisco-proprietary messages to

communicate between IP devices and

Cisco CallManager.

Cisco IP Phones use SCCP protocol

for VoIP call signaling and enhanced

features such as Message Waiting

Indication (MWI).

Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol (TKIP) with

message integrity check

(MIC)

Encryption and data integrity

protocol that encrypts data sent over

the wireless LAN.

Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 uses

TKIP/MIC algorithms to secure and

preserve the integrity of voice

communications.

Transmission Control

Protocol (TCP)

Connection-oriented transport

protocol.

Cisco IP Phones use TCP to connect

to Cisco CallManager and to access

XML services.

Trivial File Transfer

Protocol (TFTP)

Method for transfering files over the

network.

On the Cisco IP Phone, TFTP

enables you to obtain a configuration

file specific to the phone type.

You must have a TFTP server in your

network that the DHCP server

automatically identifies. If more than

one TFTP server is running in your

network, you must manually assign a

TFTP server to each phone.

User Datagram Protocol

(UDP)

Connectionless messaging protocol

for delivery of data packets.

Cisco IP Phones receive and process

UDP messages. RTP voice traffic

runs over UDP.
