Setting Up Speed Dial Features

Speed dial features allow you to press a button or enter an index code to place a call.

You can set up speed dialing for your phone in two ways:

•Speed dialing with a button—You can assign a speed dial number to any available programmable button on your phone that has not already been configured as a line, feature, or service button.

•Speed dialing with an index code—Using the Abbreviated Dialing feature, you can enter an assigned index number (1 to 99) rather than dialing the entire phone number.

Set up both types of speed dial features from your User Options web pages, as described in the table below. (See the “Logging In to the User Options Web Pages” section on page 40 for more information about your User Options pages.)

Cisco Systems has long been a leader in creating innovative networking and communication solutions. Among their range of Voice over IP (VoIP) phones, the Cisco 7960G and 7940G stand out as robust, versatile devices that cater to the needs of modern businesses. Released in the early 2000s, these models respectively combine functionality, ease of use, and key features tailored for effective communication.

The Cisco 7960G is a high-end model designed for users who demand advanced features and functionalities. It comes with a large backlit LCD display that not only enhances visibility but also provides easy navigation through various options. The phone supports up to six lines, allowing users to manage multiple calls effortlessly. Its user-friendly interface includes programmable feature buttons and a 10/100 Ethernet switch, enabling seamless integration into existing networks.

On the other hand, the Cisco 7940G is a more basic model designed for users who require essential features for their business communications.

In terms of technologies, both the 7960G and 7940G leverage the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for signaling and media exchange. They also support secure communication through protocols like Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and Transport Layer Security (TLS). This ensures that businesses can engage in confidential conversations without the risk of interception.

The characteristics that make these models appealing include durability, ease of configuration, and reliability. Organizations can benefit from Cisco’s reliable support and regular updates, ensuring that their communication infrastructure remains robust and secure. With features designed for scalability, both phones can easily integrate into larger systems while maintaining high call quality.
