Luckily for all of us, activating Wi-Fi calling is as easy as heading into your dialer app. Once you enter your dialer app, follow these steps:. You may have to confirm your decision further before you can jump into Android Wi-Fi calls.
If Wi-Fi is unavailable, your phone may default to using carrier data. See also: Wi-Fi not working? Here are some possible fixes. All you really have to do is head into your favorite app and look for a classic telephone icon. One of the biggest things to keep in mind when you call someone from an app is that they will need to use the same service.
Now that you have at least a basic idea of what SIP is, you might be wondering what it takes to get set up. Google actually covers the SIP process in the same tutorial we linked above.
Just head to your calling app and follow these steps:. Zone Controllers. IP Paging Gateways. Secure Access Control Devices.
IP Paging Accessories. By signing up, you agree to receive our email communications. Product was successfully added to your shopping cart. Meraki's deep packet inspection can intelligently identify Lync calls made on your wireless network and apply traffic shaping policies to prioritize the Lync traffic - using the SIP Voice protocol. In addition to the Meraki built-in signatures for Skype and SIP, you should also identify each Lync server by IP and any custom ports used by your Lync clients or servers.
The ports provided in the above table are the standard ports provided by Microsoft. Microsoft's best practices include configuring the port ranges on both your servers and client devices. Administrators should ensure that upstream QoS is in place and that the QoS markings outlined below are in place for the phones. Apple and Cisco have created partnership to better support iOS business users by optimizing Cisco and Meraki networks for iOS devices and apps.
For more information on this partnership, please see Apple's website. Meraki's group policies can be easily configured to optimize Apple devices on a Meraki network. First create a group policy you would like to apply to Apple devices. Click save and your optimization is complete.
Vocera badges communicate to a Vocera server, and the server contains a mapping of AP MAC addresses to building areas. The server then sends an alert to security personnel for following up to that advertised location. Location accuracy requires a higher density of access points. In a high density deployment, you may need to reduce the transmit power of each AP manually to as low as 5 dB on all supported radios. Mobile network operators MNOs now allow their customers to place phone calls over Wi-Fi to save roaming costs and leverage WiFi coverage in buildings with poor cellular coverage.
WiFi calling is expected to be supported by majority of mobile devices and MSPs by the end of Apple maintains a list of carriers that have wifi calling ready and devices that support it. Service providers are using WiFi to offload data from cellular networks to meet the ever-increasing demands of mobile device users.
Hotspot 2. Part of the Meraki allows MSPs to customize the Hotspot 2. Please contact Cisco Meraki Support to check eligibility. We have created a detailed article focused on troubleshooting VoIP on Meraki.
Measuring Voice Quality By following this guide, you can significantly improve quality of service for the wireless voice applications and reduce or eliminate dropped calls, choppy speech, fuzzy speech, buzzing, echoing, long pauses, one-way audio, and issues while roaming between access points. The score ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 being the poorest quality and 5 being the highest quality. Packet Loss Rate - The packet loss rate is the percent of packets that are lost during transmission. Interarrival Jitter - Interarrival jitter measures the variation in arrival times of packets being received in milliseconds ms.
Voice Quality After this Guide After making the changes exactly as described in this guide, we see a significant improvement in voice quality. Wireless Voice Best Practices A Cisco Meraki wireless network has the intelligence built-in with deep packet inspection to identify voice and video applications and prioritize the traffic using queuing and tagging to inform the rest of the network how to handle your voice traffic.
Perform a pre-install RF survey for overlapping 5 GHz voice-quality coverage with dB signal strength in all areas. Set Minimum bitrate to ' 12 Mbps ' or higher. Enable Bridge mode. Pre-Install Survey The design and layout of access points is critical to the quality of voice over WiFi.
Prefer 5 GHz coverage for voice applications due to the lower noise floor compared to 2. Network Configuration Making the changes described in this section will provide a significant improvement in voice quality and user satisfaction by following the best practices for configuring your SSIDs, IP assignment, Radio Settings, and traffic shaping rules.
Add a Dedicated Voice SSID Voice optimization typically requires a different configuration including access control and traffic shaping to address device specific recommendations. Authentication Type Voice over WiFi devices are often mobile and moving between access points while passing voice traffic. WPA2 only for Encryption Mode Voice devices can benefit from having a single type of encryption used. Please contact Cisco Meraki support to configure this option.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Roaming Bridge mode is recommended to improve roaming for voice over IP clients with seamless Layer 2 roaming. Band Selection The 2. Minimum Bitrate For Voice networks, 12 Mbps is recommended as the minimum bitrate.
Bandwidth Limits Consider placing a per-client bandwidth limit on the rest of your network traffic. Set a ' Per-client bandwidth limit ' to 5 Mbps with ' Speed Burst '. This will apply to all non-voice application traffic. This step in the guide is optional. Traffic Shaping Rules Use traffic shaping to offer voice traffic the necessary bandwidth.
This ensures there's a field to which the CoS value can be written. Custom Traffic Shaping If your voice traffic does not match the built-in application signatures or is not listed, you can create your own signature for traffic shaping. Product Specific Recommendations Cisco Meraki works closely with device manufacturers, for example Apple, to provide them with their own access points for interoperability testing.
