Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone

Understanding the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7906G and 7911G Components

To connect a handset to the Cisco Unified IP Phone, plug the cable into the handset and the Handset port on the back of the phone.

Speaker

The Cisco Unified IP Phones 7906G and 7911G include a speaker that you can use to monitor calls. You can enable either the Monitor mode or Group Listen mode to allow users to listen on the speaker.

The speaker is enabled by default. You must disable the speaker through the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration application. To do so, choose Device

>Phone and locate the phone you want to modify. In the Phone Configuration web page for the phone, check the Disable Speakerphone check box.

Monitor Mode

In Monitor mode, users can only listen to a call on the speaker. To speak to the other party on the call, users must pick up the handset.

Monitor mode is enabled by default if the speaker is enabled on Cisco Unified CallManager Administration.

From the phone, users can turn on the Monitor function with the Monitor softkey, and turn off this function with the MonOff softkey or by picking up the handset.

Group Listen Mode

In Group Listen mode, both the handset and speaker can be active at the same time. During a call, one user can talk into the handset while other users can listen over the speaker.

Enabling Group Listen Mode on Cisco Unified CallManager

Group Listen mode is disabled by default. To enable this mode, you must do so from the Phone Configuration page in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration.

7906G, 7911G specifications

The Cisco Systems 7911G is a versatile IP phone designed to enhance communication in enterprise environments. Targeting workers in various organizational settings, this model is known for its reliability, ease of use, and robust features that cater to both basic and advanced telephony requirements.

One of the key features of the Cisco 7911G is its support for Voice over IP (VoIP) technology. Using this technology allows for the transmission of voice signals over the internet rather than through traditional telephone lines. This not only reduces telephony costs but also offers enhanced functionality that integrates seamlessly with existing communication systems.

The phone is equipped with a monochrome graphical display that provides users with clear visibility of their call status, directory information, and menu options. With a resolution of 128x64 pixels, the screen is large enough to offer important information without overwhelming the user. This simplicity makes it an ideal choice for users who require straightforward functionality without the complexity of advanced features.

Ergonomically designed, the Cisco 7911G features a comfortable keypad with dedicated buttons for frequently used functions such as mute, hold, and transfer. It supports multiple lines, providing users with the ability to manage multiple calls simultaneously. Additionally, it offers programmable line keys that can be customized for speed dial or as soft keys for quick access to features.

The device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows the phone to receive power through the network cable rather than needing a separate power source. This feature not only simplifies installation but also enhances mobility within the workspace, as it reduces cable clutter.

Another significant characteristic of the Cisco 7911G is its compatibility with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, which ensures centralized management of telephony systems. It also supports a range of audio codecs that help in delivering high-quality audio during calls, reducing latency and improving overall communication quality.

Security is also a focus with the Cisco 7911G, as it features a secure access feature that includes Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) for encrypted voice communications. This ensures that sensitive conversations are protected from eavesdropping.

Overall, the Cisco Systems 7911G is a reliable, feature-rich IP phone that provides an excellent solution for organizations looking to upgrade their communication systems. Its combination of user-friendly design, powerful integrations, and security features makes it a cornerstone in the suite of Cisco telecommunications solutions.
