Introduction
This document provides design guidelines and deployment recommendations for customers adding the Cisco 7920 IP Phone to an existing Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data (AVVID) network. The assumption is made that you have either an existing AVVID network for wired IP phones, or that you have previously read the AVVID design guides. It is not assumed that you have previous Wireless LAN (WLAN) experience. This document makes reference to several existing design guides for 802.11, IP Telephony, and campus network design.
