Review Of Cisco IP Phones
By Kevin Whales
The term "soft phone" is a relatively new one being tossed about these days by
VoIP-users and refers to client-side software that turns a desktop PC into an
IP-based phone. Generally they are easy to install and use and offer effective
integration with popular applications, such as Microsoft Outlook and give users the
flexibility in how and when they receive and answer their calls. Let's take a look at
some of the most popular soft phones being offered by one of the IP phone
systems leaders - CISCO.
Cisco provides a complete range of communications devices designed to take full
advantage of the power of an individual's converged voice and data network, while
offering the convenience and user-friendliness usually expected from a business
phone. Cisco Unified IP phones help improve productivity by meeting the needs of
different user-organizations; from the main lobby to the busiest manager's desk,
from the manufacturing floor to the executive suite, as well as users at home, on
the road, or in the branch office.
Cisco IP phones provide LCD displays, including dynamic softkeys for call
features and functions, support for information services (including Extensible
Markup Language capabilities), the ability to customize XML-based services to
provide users with access to a variety of information such as stock quotes,
employee directories, or any other Web-based content.
The Cisco IP Phone 7940 addresses the communication needs of a transaction
type worker. It provides two programmable line and feature keys, plus a high
quality speaker-phone. The Cisco IP Phone 7940 also has four dynamic soft keys
that guide users through call features and functions. Built-in headset port and
integrated Ethernet Switch are standard with the Cisco IP Phone 7940. Also
includes audio controls for full duplex speaker-phone, handset and headset. The
IP Phone 7940 also features a large, pixel-based LCD display. The display
provides features such as date and time, calling party name, calling party number,
and digits dialed.
The Cisco IP Phone 7960G is designed to meet the communication needs of
professional workers in enclosed office environments-employees who experience a
high amount of phone traffic in the course of a business day. This IP phone
supports access to multiple telephone lines (or a combination of lines and direct
access to telephony features) and includes high-quality, hands-free speaker
phone capability and built-in headset connectivity. A large pixel-based display
provides supplemental information, access to applications, and makes it easy to
use telephone features.
The 4612 IP phone operates on your Internet Protocol (IP) voice network, This
stylish phone incorporates a number of convenient features, such as a built-in
headset jack, message waiting indicator, easily readable displays, hearing aid
compatibility, Net-Meeting compatibility, multiple programmable feature keys and
display navigation keys.
