attach QoS properties to these VLANs.
• All the relevant devices in your network were added or imported to QPM’s device inventory.

Introduction
The first page is an introduction to the wizard. It includes an overview of why QoS configuration is
necessary for VoIP networks, and how the wizard will guide you to configure QoS for IP telephony.
Before you run the wizard, ensure that all the required devices in your IP telephony network have been
added to the device inventory. If not, you must exit the wizard and add or import them. After adding your
devices, you can check that your devices support voice QoS, by running the Voice Ready report. The
Voice Ready report shows all the devices in the current device group, and whether or not they support
voice QoS.
This page also displays the name of the current deployment group that will be used by the wizard for
defining the IP telephony policies. You can change the current deployment group, if required.
To open the Introduction page of the wizard:
Step 1 Choose Provisioning > Policy View.
The Policy View page opens.
Step 2 Click Voice Policy.
The IP Telephony Wizard - Introduction page appears.
