Your Cisco Telephone

Introduction

This guide describes how to use all of the features that are provided by your
VocalData telephone system on your Cisco 7960 or 7940 telephone.
NOTE: This chapter may cover more than one model of phone. Although the
chapter applies to all models, some text may apply only to a certain phone
model. The user is alerted to these text differences by an icon which is shown
at left. The icon appears in the left margin next to where the text occurs. For
how to identify your phone model, see "Identifying Your 7960 Telephone Type"
on page 4.

Accessing Phone Features

Some features require you to dial an activating digit followed by a numeric code.
The default value for this activating digit is 5 and it is used throughout this guide.
However, your system administrator may choose to use another digit for this
function. In that case, substitute your activating digit for the default. All feature
operation will be exactly the same.
