Testing Observations These tests were primarily focused on verification of SIP interoperability in the following scenarios:
Basic phone configuration and registration Basic calls Telephony features Audio features, including codecs and DTMF
Other scenarios involving the WLAN itself, including data security/encryption, were tested to a lesser degree.
Configuration Details The following settings represent, unless stated differently elsewhere, the generic WLAN configuration required for tests alluded to in this document:
Beacon Interval: 100 ms DTIM Interval: 5 Activation of IEEE 802.11d regulatory domain information Activation of WMM Open authentication/No encryption (better security optional)
NOTE: Call signaling has to be remarked on the ingress switch port to DSCP AF31 or BE (best effort) before U-APSD power-save mode can be considered in the WLAN. Voice packets are generally marked as DSCP EF. However, please refer to the user manual for specifics regarding the WLAN system before fine-tuning QoS. (Observed while testing the VCX Connect 100)

3COM VCX Configuration Details
1. Web to the IP address of the VCX and select Central Management Console
2. Enter user name and password
Page 10 of 25
3Com Open Network Solutions Lab Application Notes
3. Select Site name i.e. VCX Connect Server
4. The default web screen is Users. We first create a user for each extension by selecting the Add User button
Page 11 of 25
3Com Open Network Solutions Lab Application Notes
5. The following web screen is displayed. A user name i.e. 1Ascom, is created for each handset extension
6. Here the user 1Ascom information is entered and then select Save button

3Com Open Network Solutions Lab Application Notes
Conclusion Most of test cases passed successfully after resolving initial issues that concerned specific transfer scenarios and interaction towards the integrated voice mail system. It is hence vital that one makes sure Ascom i75 handsets are running software version 1.6.15 or later. Furthermore, if U-APSD power-save mode is being considered in the WLAN, call signalling might have to be remarked to DSCP AF31 or BE (best effort) on the ingress port of the LAN switch.
