Introducing Your Cisco IP Phone

The Cisco IP Phone 7960 and Cisco IP Phone 7940 are full-feature telephones that
provide voice communication over an IP (Internet Protocol) network. These
phones function much like traditional analog phones, allowing you to place and
receive telephone calls. They also support features that you have come to expect
from a telephone—such as speed dialing, redial, call transfer, conference calling,
and voice mail access.
Your Cisco IP Phone offers features that might surprise you. Because it is part of
an IP network, your Cisco IP Phone can provide not only telephony services, but
data services, too—including up-to-the-minute information from the Internet
through an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based application. In a nutshell,
your Cisco IP Phone provides a whole range of communication features that you
could not expect from a traditional telephone.
