Cisco FSR (Fast Secure Roaming)

A proprietary security mechanism devised by Cisco Systems to overcome some shortcomings in the

802.11Standard WEP encryption, without impacting the ability of the wireless phones to roam from one access point to another with seamless voice. Cisco FSR requires advanced configuration of the Cisco access points in your site. See your Cisco representative for detailed WEP documentation on configuring your access points and other required security services on your wired network. To configure Cisco FSR on your wireless phone, you must enter a Radius server username and password into each phone.

Username

Enter a username that matches an entry on your Radius server. Usernames are alphanumeric strings, and can be entered using the same technique as described above for ESSID entry.

Password

Enter the password that corresponds to this username.

OAI On/Off

The Open Application Interface (OAI) enables third-party computer applications to display alphanumeric messages on the wireless phone display and take input from the wireless phone's keypad. Refer to the Open Application Interface (OAI) Specification (Version 1.2) documentation for information about administering the OAI gateway and the services it can provide.

If you have an OAI gateway installed in your system, OAI may be optionally enabled in each wireless phone. You may select whether the wireless phone should attempt to connect to the OEM OAI gateway by choosing either Enable or Disable in this menu.

If OAI is enabled, and an OAI IP address is available to the phone (either via DHCP or static IP configuration), the phone will communicate with the OAI server at power on, and periodically while it is powered on. If you do not have an OEM OAI gateway installed at your site, you should disable the OAI feature to preserve network bandwidth and battery life.
