Cisco 7911G Questions And Answers page 3

Is Cisco VT Advantage for desktop videoconferencing supported?

Cisco VT Advantage will be supported in SCCP in a follow-up software release.

Is there speakerphone capability and headset connectivity?

No. Like the Cisco IP Phone 7912G, the Cisco IP Phone 7911G does not include hands-free speakerphone and headset connectivity. The Cisco

IP Phone 7911G supports monitor (one-way audio through the chassis speaker) and will support a group listen feature (European-style speakerphone

using the handset and the chassis speaker) in a follow-up software release.

Does Cisco CallManager Express support the Cisco IP Phone 7911G?

Cisco CME will support the Cisco IP Phone 7911G starting with Version 4.0, which is planned for release during the second half of 2006.

Is Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) supported? What about Secure SRST?

Yes, both are supported on Cisco IOS

POWER

Does the phone support Cisco inline power or IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

The Cisco IP Phone 7911G supports both Cisco inline power and IEEE PoE (Class 2).

As a Class 2 IEEE device, does the Cisco IP Phone 7911G require a continuous draw of 6.49W (standard Class 2)?

No. When Cisco IP phones are connected to common switches such as the Cisco Catalyst

detect the phone type and provide the exact amount of power that the phone needs. The use of Cisco Discovery Protocol provides this greater

granularity to the power classification, allowing for more accurate reporting of power consumption. This means that Cisco phones can be more

energy efficient than other IP phones in the same IEEE power class, allowing for more IEEE endpoints per switch or a lower overall power budget.

Is there a recommended powering option?

No. Powering decisions depend on the customer's environment. Either of the inline power methods can be used, or the standard Cisco IP Phone

external power adapter can be used for local power.

Availability and Ordering

When can I order the Cisco IP Phone 7911G?

It will be orderable by December 2005, and like all new products, will initially be on controlled release.

Is a station user license required?

Yes. As with all Cisco phones, a station user license must be purchased with each phone. At FCS, customers will be able to select only a

Cisco CallManager user license. When Cisco CME is supported, a Cisco CME license will be optional.

What items are included in the Cisco IP Phone 7911G list price?

The Cisco IP Phone 7911G ships with the base unit (with attached foot stand), a handset, a handset cord, an Ethernet cord, a pictorial quick

start guide, Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information (RSCI), a Cisco 1-year limited hardware warranty card, and an end-user software

license agreement.
