Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 Wireless LAN Deployment Guide

EDCA Parameters

Set the EDCA profile for

Voice Optimized

and disable

Low Latency MAC

for either 5 or 2.4 GHz depending on which

frequency band is to be utilized.
Low Latency MAC (LLM) reduces the number of retransmissions to 2-3 per packet depending on the access point platform, so
it can cause issues if multiple data rates are enabled.

LLM is not supported on the Cisco 802.11n Access Points.

DFS (802.11h)

In the DFS (802.11h) configuration, channel announcement and quiet mode should be enabled.

Power Constraint

should be left un-configured or set to 0 dB as DTPC will be used by the Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 to

control the transmission power.
