Configure Voice over Wireless IP Service 83

 

For information about deploying your configuration and enabling

 

monitoring your network, refer to:

 

„ “Managing and Monitoring Your Network” on page 155.

 

 

Configure Voice

Voice over Wireless IP (VoWIP) is a new technology, merging VoIP (Voice

over Wireless IP

over IP) with 802.11 wireless LANs to create a wireless telephone system.

Service

Organizations that add VoWIP to their wireless LANs can deploy and

 

manage voice and data over a single wireless backbone, reserving some

 

portion of network bandwidth to support real-time voice

 

communications.

 

For a VoWIP service (sometimes also referred to simply as VoIP, or Voice

 

over IP), you can configure either local or RADIUS server authentication,

 

and add Access Lists (ACLs) to restrict user access.
