Wavelink Avalanche Server Overview
This chapter describes the Wavelink Avalanche Management Console and how to use it to configure the Cisco
Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G. The Configuration Utility (CU) for Wavelink
Avalanche can be installed on the Wavelink Avalanche Management Console and used to configure a single
phone or multiple phones with common settings.
Not all features can be configured using Wavelink. Some features can only be configured from Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Note
Before You Begin
Before you can use the Wavelink Avalanche Management Console to configure phones, ensure that you have
the necessary components and follow the best practices during your setup.
The following components are required for configuring the phone using the Wavelink Avalanche server:
•Wavelink Avalanche software:
◦Avalanche Manager Agent
Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G Administration Guide
1
◦Avalanche Management Console
•Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G Firmware Release 1.3(1) or later
•Configuration Utility (CU) for Wavelink Avalanche
•DHCP server
•Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Best Practices
This section describes the best practices recommended for setting up and using the CU on the Wavelink
Avalanche server.
•Ensure that the phone is registered to Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
•Try out this process with one or two phones before deploying to many phones.
•Set up a VLAN that has access only to the Wavelink server.
•Configure DHCP Option 149 with the Wavelink server IP address. If you do not configure this option,
see Set Up Wavelink Server Address from Phone, on page 2.
•Configure a Cisco Access Point to use a default SSID of “cisco”with open authentication and no
encryption.
Wavelink Server IP Address Setup
If you did not configure DHCP Option 149 with the Wavelink server IP address, you must manually assign
it.
Do not perform this task if you previously configured the Wavelink server address using DHCP Option
149.
Note
The following sections describe the methods to assign the Wavelink server on the phone.

Phone Attributes Setup
You can assign attributes on the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone that can be used to distinguish it from other
mobile devices connected to the Wavelink server. These attributes can be used as search criteria for locating
phones on the Wavelink server. For example, the predefined ModelName field of CP7925G is used to identify
a device as the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G.
To assign attributes, use the Wavelink Management Console, the phone UI, or the phone web page:
•If you use the Wavelink Management Console, choose the Add Properties option from the Client Settings
option (for a single phone) or the Edit Device Properties option (for a mobile device group). For more
information, see the Wavelink Avalanche server documentation.
•If you assign attributes from the phone or phone web page, use the following sections to define values
for the CustomName and CustomValue fields.
Define CustomName and CustomValue on Phone
To define the CustomName and CustomValue fields from the phone, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 On the main phone screen, choose SETTINGS >System Configuration >Wavelink.
Step 2 Unlock the phone by pressing **#.
Step 3 Scroll to a CustomName, enter an attribute name (for example, “User”), and click Save.
Only alphanumeric characters are allowed in the CustomName
field.
Note
Step 4 Scroll to CustomValue and enter a value for the corresponding CustomName (for example, “Admin”), and
click Save.
You can define up to four pairs of custom parameters.
Define Custom Parameters from Phone Web Page
To define customer parameters from the phone web page, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 From the phone web page, choose Wavelink Settings.
Step 2 In the Wavelink Custom Parameters section, enter values in the Name and Value fields. You can define up
to four pairs of custom parameters.
Do not use spaces in the Name
field.

Communications
Determines the signal mode or priority for
selecting signal modes available in the WLAN.
Options are:
•802.11 b/g: Use only 2.4 GHz band

The preferred band, if available, is used
at power-on, but the phone may switch
to the less-preferred 2.4 GHz band, if
available, and the preferred band is lost.
After the phone has connected to the
less-preferred band, it does not scan for
the preferred band if the current band is
acceptable, and will remain connected
to the less-preferred band.
Note
•Auto, signal strength (RSSI): Use strongest
signal in dual-band environment
