Cisco IP phone 7961

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G, an important addition to the Cisco Systems® award-winning IP phone portfolio, is a full-featured, enhanced manager IP phone. It is designed to meet the needs of managers and administrative assistants (Figure 1). It provides six programmable backlit line/feature buttons and four interactive soft keys that guide a user through call features and functions, and audio controls for high-quality duplex speakerphone, handset, and headset. A built-in headset port and an integrated Ethernet switch are standard with the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G. The phone also features a best-of-class large, higher-resolution grayscale pixel-based LCD (Figure 2). The display provides features such as date and time, calling party name, calling party number, and digits dialed. The crisp graphic capability of the display allows for the inclusion of higher value, more visibly rich Extensible Markup Language (XML) applications and double-byte languages.

FEATURES

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G is dynamic, and it is designed to grow with system capabilities. Features will keep pace with new changes through software updates to the phone flash memory. Firmware changes can be downloaded from Cisco Unified CallManager and Cisco.com. No hands-on moves and changes are required with the phone-the user can simply pick up the phone and move to the new location anywhere on your network. The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G provides many accessibility methods according to user preference.

Table 1 gives features of the phone.

Table 1. Features of Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G

Feature	Description
Messages	The phone offers direct access to voicemail.
Directories	The phone identifies incoming messages and categorizes them on the screen, allowing users to quickly and effectively return calls using direct dial-back capability. The corporate directory integrates with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Version 3 (LDAP3) standard directory.
Settings	The Settings feature key allows the user to adjust display contrast, select background images (if available), and select from a large number of unique ringer sounds through the User Preference menu. Network Configuration preferences also can be set up (usually by the system administrator). Configuration can be either automatically or manually set up for Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), Cisco Unified CallManager, and backup Cisco Unified CallManager instances. Other available Settings submenus include Device Configuration and Security Configuration.
Services	The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G allows users to quickly access diverse information such as weather, stocks, quote of the day, or any Web-based information using XML to provide a portal to an ever-growing world of applications, features, and information.
Help	The online Help feature gives users information about the phone keys, buttons, and features. The pixel display allows for greater flexibility of features and significantly expands the information viewed when using features such as Services, Information, Messages, and Directory. For example, the Directory button can show local and server-based directory information.
Display	The phone has a large, high-resolution, graphical 4-bit grayscale display (320 x 222).
Speakerphone, Mute, and Headset Buttons	The phone offers high-quality speakerphone technology, including easy-to-use speaker On/Off, Microphone Mute, and Headset buttons. These buttons are lit when active. For added security, the audible dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones are masked when the speakerphone mode is used.
Ethernet Switch	The internal 2-port Cisco Ethernet switch allows for a direct connection to a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network through an RJ-45 interface with single LAN connectivity for both the phone and a co-located PC. The system administrator can designate separate VLANs (802.1Q) for the PC and Cisco Unified IP phones, providing improved security and reliability of voice and data traffic.
Headset Port	A dedicated headset port eliminates the need for a separate amplifier when using a headset. This feature allows the handset to remain in its cradle, making headset use simpler.
Volume Control	The convenient Volume Control button on the phone provides for easy decibel-level adjustments for the speakerphone, handset, headset, and ringer. The handset is hearing aid-compatible (HAC). Additional volume control gain can be achieved using an inline handset amplifier such as Walker Equipment W-10 and CE-100 amplifiers.
Adjustable Foot-Stand	The phone foot-stand is adjustable from flat to 60 degrees to provide optimum display viewing and comfortable use of all buttons and keys. The foot-stand is keyed to match standard wall-jack configurations for wall mounting. Two optional wall-mount brackets are also offered, as noted later in this document.
Flexible Power Options	The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7961G supports Cisco Prestandard Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing powering from any of the Cisco Inline Power-capable blades and boxes. In addition, it supports IEEE 803.af PoE. The phone can be powered locally with a power supply (part number CP-PWR-CUBE-3).
Multiple Ring Tones	More than 24 user-adjustable ring tones are available.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Features	A HAC handset (meets ADA requirements) is available, as well as HAC compliance for magnetic coupling to approved HAC hearing aids. The dial pad is also ADA-compliant.
Signaling Protocol Support	The phone offers Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) support.
Codec Support	G.711µ and G.729a audio compression codecs are available.
Quality of Service (QoS) Options	The phone supports differentiated services code point (DSCP) and 802.1Q/p standards.
Security	The phone supports manufacturing-installed digital certificates, device authentication, and encryption.
Language Support	Support for more than 20 languages is built-in (depends on Cisco Unified CallManager software version).
Configuration Options	IP address assignment can be statically configured or configured through the DHCP client.
Voice Quality	Comfort-noise generation and voice activity detection (VAD) programming are performed on a system basis.
