Cisco Wireless IP Phones with Access Points other than Cisco

[Ajin Skariah]

Hello,

Does Cisco wireless IP phones (7925G, 8821) can be associated with third party access points, say Apple Airport Extreme, or it works with only Cisco AP's? In the IP phone datasheet, it is showing only Cisco Access Points as the supported ones. Can someone please clarify this?.

Thanks,

Ajin Skariah.

Yes, as long as the AP supports the authentication methods of the IP phone it should work just fine. I have many customers with non-Cisco APs, i.e. Aruba.
