Resolving Voice Quality and Roaming Chapter 10 Troubleshooting the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Step 3 c. Assign a TFTP server. See the "Configuring an Alternate TFTP Server" section on page 5-7 for details. Use the same TFTP server used for other functioning Cisco Unified IP Phones. From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose System > Server and verify that the server is referred to by its IP address and not by its host name. Note Cisco recommends that you configure IP addresses only and not host names to eliminate the DNS resolution in the phone registration process. Step 4 Step 5 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager, select Device > Phone and verify that you have assigned the correct MAC address to this Cisco Unified IP Phone. To determine the MAC address of a phone, see the "Viewing Device Information" section on page 8-4. Power cycle the phone. Symptom: Audio Problems When users report that active phone calls have poor voice quality that includes choppy audio, static or gaps in audio, or no audio, you can use the following suggestions to identify the cause of the problem. These sections can assist you with the following symptoms: • No Audio During a Connected Call, page 10-10 • One-Way Audio During a Connected Call, page 10-10 No Audio During a Connected Call If you are using a release earlier than 2.0, then you must disable TKIP and MIC features on the access point. These features are only supported with release 2.0 and later on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G. One-Way Audio During a Connected Call Use the following list to identify possible causes for the problem: • Check the access point to see that the transmit power setting matches the transmit power setting on the phone. One-way audio is common when the access point power setting is greater (100mW) than that of the phone (20mW). Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Firmware supports dynamic transmit power control (DTPC). The phone uses the transmit power that the access point advertises upon association. Note With DTCP, if Client Transmit Power is set in the access point, the phone automatically uses the same client power setting. If the access point is set for the maximum setting (Max), the access point uses the Transmit Power setting on the phone. • Check that the access point is enabled for ARP caching. When the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G is in power save mode or scanning, the access point can respond to the wireless IP phone only when ARP caching is enabled. 10-10 Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.0(1) OL-15984-01

Symptom: Audio Problems
When users report that active phone calls have poor voice quality that includes choppy audio, static or
gaps in audio, or no audio, you can use the following suggestions to identify the cause of the problem.
These sections can assist you with the following symptoms:

No Audio During a Connected Call
If you are using a release earlier than 2.0, then you must disable TKIP and MIC features on the access
point. These features are only supported with release 2.0 and later on the Cisco Unified Wireless
IP Phone 7925G.
One-Way Audio During a Connected Call
Use the following list to identify possible causes for the problem:
Check the access point to see that the transmit power setting matches the transmit power setting on
the phone. One-way audio is common when the access point power setting is greater (100mW) than
that of the phone (20mW).
Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Firmware supports dynamic transmit power control
(DTPC). The phone uses the transmit power that the access point advertises upon association.
Note
With DTCP, if Client Transmit Power is set in the access point, the phone automatically uses the
same client power setting. If the access point is set for the maximum setting (Max), the access
point uses the Transmit Power setting on the phone.
Check that the access point is enabled for ARP caching. When the Cisco Unified Wireless
IP Phone 7925G is in power save mode or scanning, the access point can respond to the wireless IP
phone only when ARP caching is enabled.
