Web Interface

The phone firmware can be upgraded via the web interface by navigating to Phone Upgrade and browsing to the firmware TAR
file.

In order to access the Phone Upgrade menu, the web access must be set to

“Full”

Note:

If the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series registers to Cisco Unified Communications Manager, web access to

the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series gets set to read-only mode. In this mode, firmware upgrades via the web
interface are not allowed.

Ultimately the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series will use what is set as the phone load in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.

Wavelink Avalanche

The Wavelink Avalanche server IP address can be set either via DHCP option 149 or statically.

To provide the server IP address automatically, configure option 149 on the DHCP server.

ip dhcp pool 10.10.11.0
   network 10.10.11.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 10.10.11.1
   dns-server 10.10.10.20
   domain-name cisco.com

option 150 ip 10.10.10.22
option 149 ip 10.10.11.128

Custom parameters can also be set via the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G Series web page in order to help group
clients for better management.
