Cisco IP 7960G/7940G Phone Overview
Cisco IP 7960G/7940G phones are full-featured telephones that can be plugged directly into a SIP
network and can be used very much like a standard PBX telephone. Phone terminals can attach to the
existing data network infrastructure, using 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T interfaces on an Ethernet switch.
When used with a voice-capable Ethernet switch, one that understands type of service (ToS) bits and can
prioritize VoIP traffic, the phones eliminate the need for a traditional proprietary telephone set and key
system or PBX.
The Cisco IP 7960G/7940G phone also supports an adjustable ring tone, a hearing-aid compatible
handset, and a headset.
The Cisco IP 7960G/7940G phone complies with RFC 3261, as described in
with RFC 3261."
