Cisco 7940G IP Phone Product Description:
Cisco Systems is the true market leader in state of the art Voice over IP
Telephony products and solutions. The Cisco IP Phone 7940G (CP-7940G) is a key
offering in the Cisco 7900 series IP phone portfolio providing rock solid
stability and advanced features that are synonymous with the Cisco brand. The CP-7940G is designed to meet the communication needs of today's office environment
capable of handling medium to high traffic volume. It is identical to the 7960G
except it only has two programmable line or feature buttons which can handle 4
simultaneous calls instead of twelve. The 7940G includes a large pixel based LCD
display, full duplex speaker phone and an internal Cisco Ethernet switch. The
internal two port Ethernet switch allows a computer and the phone to be daisy
chained, reducing the amount of cabling and Ethernet jacks needed for the
office. The system administrator can designate separate virtual LANs (VLANs)
(802.1Q) for the PC and the IP Phone providing improved security and reliability
of voice and data traffic.
The Cisco IP Phone 7940 supports inline Power over Ethernet (PoE) which eases
installation and reduces clutter in the workspace. The foot stand is adjustable
from flat to 60 degrees to provide optimum display viewing and comfortable use
of all buttons and keys. The foot stand is also keyed to match standard wall jack
configurations for wall mounting. The Cisco IP Phone 7940G is multi-protocol
enabled, supporting Cisco's CallManager Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP).
A dedicated headset port eliminates the need for a separate amplifier when using
a headset. This allows the handset to remain in its cradle, making headset use
simpler. The Cisco IP phone's convenient volume control button provides for easy
decibel-level adjustments for the speakerphone, handset, headset, and ringer.
The handset in Haring Aid Compatible (HAC) and meets FCC loudness requirements
for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Section 508 loudness requirements can
be achieved using industry standard inline handset amplifiers such as Walker
Equipment W-10 or CE-100 amplifiers.
