The Cisco VoIP config manual that I looked at recently gave a bunch of things that need to be done on their controllers to make VoIP work well. Included they strongly suggested that you use a dedicated SSID for phones only. Sorry I don't have it on my desk any longer so I could send a URL reference to it.

We are using a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) on that SSID today. A question comes to mind, will you use a cached user/pw for the credentials on the device itself or use, say a 7 year device certificate instead (something we are pondering....)? We are having the same thoughts. I'd add that when you use a dedicated SSID, you can gain some "knobs" on the controller's configuration that you can tweak for say a particular make/model that is problematic (EG: Cisco 7925G) Thanks, Chad Chad D Burnham Director of Telecommunications University Technology Services University of Denver 2100 S.

I am thinking about using my wpa2 secure SSID for them. Anybody got any caveats or suggestions?
