avaya 3645 wireless phones with Cisco wireless controller

[GriffinTS]

We are having trouble with new installation of Avaya 3645 phones. Basically the phones do not have great signal strength. Our current cisco 7925G phones have much better signal strength compared to Avaya 3645s. We've tried adjusting the b/g mixed, g only, power settings and no luck.
Cisco Wireless 5508 Controllers (version8.0.121.0) and 3502i, 3602i, 3702i APs with Avaya 3645 (Spectralink 8030) IP phones and H323 protocol.
Anyone else out there running similar hardware?

What if the Cisco phones give a positive signal strentgh and the Avaya the real signal strenth?
I personally would never mix these kind of phones but it is up to you.

Go to Network>Signal Strength>and highlight the emulate Cisco status bars. There, now the visual bars represent the signal like Cisco.

You do understand 2 different vendors with different interpretations of signal strength and no 2 wireless devices radio's are the same between manufactures/devices. Hell I can see my iphone and android device show my wifi signal strength differently.

3645's and Avaya's wifi phones have been discontinued for quite awhile now.

3645 is actually still orderable in USA/Canada "as long as inventory exists".
