Help—
The online help feature gives users information about the phone's 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.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G features high-quality, speakerphone technology. It also includes an easy-to-use speaker on/off button and
microphone mute buttons. These buttons are lit when active.
The internal Cisco two-port Ethernet switch allows for a direct connection to a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network via an RJ-45 interface with single
LAN connectivity for both the phone and a co-located PC. The system administrator can designate separate virtual LANs (VLANs) (802.1Q) for the
PC and Cisco Unified IP Phones providing improved security and reliability of voice and data traffic.
A dedicated headset port eliminates the need for a separate amplifier when using a headset. This allows the handset to remain in its cradle, making
headset use simpler. The Cisco Unified IP phone’s convenient volume control button provides for easy decibel-level adjustments for the
speakerphone, handset, headset, and ringer. The handset is ADA and HAC compliant with a maximum handset volume of 13 dB. New 508
capability can be achieved using an in-line handset amplifier such as Walker Equipments W-10 and CE-100 amplifiers.
The dial pad is also ADA compliant.
The footstand of the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G is adjustable from flat to 60 degrees to provide optimum display viewing and comfortable use of
all buttons and keys. The footstand is keyed to match standard wall jack configurations for wall mounting. Two optional wall mount brackets are
also offered as noted below.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G can also receive power down the LAN from any of the Cisco inline power-capable blades and boxes.
For added security, the audible dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones are masked when the speakerphone mode is used.
