Step Description Related Topics
1. Powering on the phone The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G has 
non-volatile Flash memory in which it stores firmware 
images and user-defined preferences. At startup, the phone 
runs a bootstrap loader that loads a phone image stored in 
Flash memory. Using this image, the phone initializes its 
software and hardware.

2. Scanning for an access 
point 
The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G scans the RF 
coverage area with its radio. The phone searches its 
network profiles and scans for access points that have a 
matching SSID and authentication type. The phone 
associates with the access point with the highest RSSI that 
matches with its network profile.
