Understanding Security Features for Cisco Unified IP Phones
Implementing security in a wireless network protects against data tampering to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager data, call signaling, and media stream. It also reduces the chances for identity
theft. To reduce the threats, the Cisco wireless LAN (WLAN) provides options for user authentication
with servers and for encrypting communications streams between phones and network devices.
For information about supported security options for the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, see
the
“Authentication Methods” section on page 2-16.
