If you get error msg 40xxx and you wonder how to configure. Below I try to summarize cli command you
need to fix the msg. Mostly focused on Cisco 792x Series deployments.

radio setting changes during the day, which trigger client disconnections. If this happens
during a call, it will be disrupted, or end on one-way voice situation. How much affects this,
depends a lot on RF conditions in the site, so it is not a black or white situation, and should be
evaluated case by case. After 4.1.185.0 and above, using DCA is possible if correctly configured.

APs to disable it Do not enable aggressive load balancing unless the network has available a high density
of access points in the area, and never if there is voice over wireless. If you enable this feature with
access points spaced to far away from each other, it might confuse the roaming algorithm of some clients,
and induce coverage holes in some cases. In the latest software versions, this feature is disabled by
default. REFERENCE: Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) Configuration Best Practices >config load-balancing status disable 40008, Voice: arpunicast is enabled, it must be disabled. arpunicast setting should not be enabled in normal circumstances. It may cause connectivity problems

Use the short preamble setting in the radio configuration setting on the
access point when no legacy clients that require a long preamble are present in the WLAN. By using the
short preamble instead of the legacy long preamble, the wireless network performance is improved.

It must be disabled for voice This option might affect some client implementations which do not do a DHCP renew until the lease time
expires. For example, Cisco 7920 or 7921 phones might have voice problems while they roam if this option
is enabled, as the controller does not allow voice or signaling traffic to pass until the DHCP phase is
completed. Some third-party printer servers might also be affected. In general, it is a good idea not
to use this option if the WLAN has non-Windows clients. This is because the more strict controls might
induce connectivity issues, based on how the DHCP client side is implemented. REFERENCE: Wireless LAN

introduce delay during roaming due to its requirement for full re-authentication. CCKM centralizes
the key management and reduces the number of key exchanges. REFERENCE: Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone
