Be sure that your phone has got a valid IP address either by wired or wireless connection, and you have the administrator
access to your phone.

when prompted.

The Cisco IP Phone 6861 Multiplatform Phone supports 4 Wi-Fi profiles. When you set Phone-wifi-on to Yes and
Phone-wifi-type to WLAN, the phone tries the 4 profiles in the sequence defined in Wi-Fi Profile Order field. For each
Wi-Fi profile, Network Name refers to the SSID of the AP you want to connect to.
Security Mode provides 7 options: Auto, EAP-Fast, PEAP-GTC, PEAP-MSCHAPV2, PSK, WEP and NONE.
Security Mode selection is determined by the authentication method your target AP uses.
• If EAP-FAST, PEAP-MSCHAPv2, or PEAP-GTC is selected then Wi-Fi User ID and Wi-Fi Password are
required.
