Chapter 2      Overview of the VoIP Wireless Network
Components of the VoIP Wireless Network
Once a device has been paired, its Bluetooth connection is maintained as long as both devices (phone 
and headset) are enabled and within range of each other. The connection re-establishes itself 
automatically if either of the devices powers down then powers up. The green-dotted Bluetooth icon 
indicates whether or not a device is connected.
When headsets are more than 10 meters away from Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G, Bluetooth 
drops the connection after a 15 to 20 second timeout. If the paired headset comes back into range of the 
Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G and the phone is not connected to another Bluetooth headset, 
then the in-range Bluetooth headset automatically reconnects. For certain phone types that operate in 
power-save modes, the user may have to “wake-up” the headset by tapping on its operational button to 
initiate the reconnect.
Note It is recommended that users read the headset user guide for more information about pairing and 
connecting the headsets.
Components of the VoIP Wireless Network
The wireless IP phone must interact with several network components in the WLAN to successfully 
place and receive calls. The following topics describe network components:
