An Overview of the Conference Station

The Cisco Unified IP Conference Station 7937G is a full-featured teleconference station that provides
voice communication over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It functions much like a digital business
phone, allowing you to place and receive calls and to access features such as mute, hold, transfer,
speed dial, call forward, and more. In addition, because conference stations are connected to your data
network, they offer enhanced IP telephony features, including access to network information and
services, and customizable features and services. The conference stations also support certain security
features.
The conference station provides a backlit LCD screen, support for up to ten speed dial numbers, and a
variety of other sophisticated functions.
The conference station, like other network devices, must be configured and managed. The conference
stations encode G.711a, G.711u, G.729a, G.729ab, and decode all variants of G.711 and G.729. The
conference stations also support 16-bit/16-kHz wideband audio.
