Feature |
Description |
|
The phone offers direct access to
voicemail. |
|
The phone identifies incoming messages
and categorizes them for users on the screen. This feature allows users
to quickly and effectively return calls using direct dial-back
capability. The corporate directory integrates with the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol Version 3 (LDAP3) standard directory. |
|
The Settings feature key allows the user
to adjust display contrast, select background images (if available), and
select from a large number of unique ringer sounds through the User
Preference menu. Network Configuration preferences also can be set up
(usually by the system administrator). Configuration can be either
automatically or manually set up for Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), Trivial
File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), Cisco Unified CallManager, and backup
Cisco Unified CallManager instances. Other available Settings submenus
include Device Configuration and Security Configuration. |
|
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7941G allows
users to quickly access diverse information such as weather, stocks,
quote of the day, or any Web-based information using XML to provide a
portal to an ever-growing world of applications, features, and
information. |
|
The online Help feature gives users
information about the phone keys, buttons, and features. The pixel
display allows for greater flexibility of features and significantly
expands the information viewed when using features such as Services,
Information, Messages, and Directory. For example, the Directory
button can show local and server-based directory information. |
|
The phone has a large, high-resolution,
graphical 4-bit grayscale display (320 x 222). |
Speakerphone, Mute,
and Headset Buttons
|
The phone offers high-quality
speakerphone technology, including easy-to-use speaker On/Off,
Microphone Mute, and Headset buttons. These buttons are lit when active.
For added security, the audible dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones
are masked when the speakerphone mode is used. |
|
The internal 2-port Cisco Ethernet switch
allows for a direct connection to a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network
through an RJ-45 interface with single LAN connectivity for both the
phone and a co-located PC. The system administrator can designate
separate VLANs (802.1Q) for the PC and Cisco Unified IP phones,
providing improved security and reliability of voice and data traffic. |
|
A dedicated headset port eliminates the
need for a separate amplifier when using a headset. This feature allows
the handset to remain in its cradle, making headset use simpler. |
|
The convenient Volume Control button on
the phone provides for easy, decibel-level adjustments for the
speakerphone, handset, headset, and ringer. The handset is hearing
aid-compatible (HAC). Additional volume control gain can be achieved
using an inline handset amplifier such as Walker Equipment W-10 and
CE-100 amplifiers. |
|
The phone 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 keyed to match standard
wall-jack configurations for wall mounting. Two optional wall-mount
brackets are also offered, as noted later in this document. |
|
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7941G supports
Cisco Pre-standard Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows powering from
any of the Cisco Inline Power-capable blades and boxes. In addition, it
supports IEEE 803.af PoE. The phone can be powered locally with a power
supply (part number CP-PWR-CUBE-3). |
|
More than 24 user-adjustable ring tones
are available. |
Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) Features
|
A HAC handset (meets ADA requirements) is
available, as well as HAC compliance for magnetic coupling to approved
HAC hearing aids. The dial pad is also ADA-compliant. |
Signaling Protocol
Support
|
The phone offers Skinny Client Control
Protocol (SCCP) support. |
|
G.711µ
and G.729a audio compression codecs are available. |
Quality of Service (QoS) Options
|
The phone supports differentiated
services code point (DSCP) and 802.1Q/p standards. |
|
The phone supports
manufacturing-installed digital certificates, device authentication, and
encryption. |
|
Support for more than 20 languages is
built in (depends on Cisco Unified CallManager version). |
|
IP address assignment can be statically
configured or configured through the DHCP client. |
|
Comfort-noise generation and voice
activity detection (VAD) programming are performed on a system basis. |
