Product Specific Configuration Layout section (Device > Phone) for the specific phone, and check
the Override Common Settings check box.
• To enable wireless LAN for a group of phones, select the enable setting for the Wi-Fi parameter on
a Common Phone Profile Configuration window (Device > Device Settings > Common Phone
Profile), check the Override Common Settings check box, then associate the phone (Device >
Phone page) with that common phone profile.
• To enable wireless LAN for all WLAN-capable phones in your network, select the enable setting for
the Wi-Fi parameter on the Enterprise Phone Configuration window (System > Enterprise Phone
Configuration), and check the Override Common Settings check box.
Note On the Phone Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration (Device
