Chapter 40 Cisco IP Phones

Phone Features

Call Select

The Select softkey allows a user to select a call for feature activation, or to lock the call from other devices that share the same line appearance. Pressing the Select softkey on a selected call deselects the call.

When the call gets selected by a device, it gets put in the Remote-In-Use state on all other devices that share the line appearance. No call in the Remote-In-Use state can be selected. In other words, selecting a call instance will lock it from other devices that share the same line appearance.

Selected calls are identified by a special display symbol.

Call Waiting

Call waiting lets users receive a second incoming call on the same line without disconnecting the first call. When the second call arrives, the user receives a brief call waiting indicator tone, which is configured with the Ring Setting (Phone Active) in the Directory Number Configuration window.

Configure call waiting in the Directory Number Configuration window in

Cisco CallManager Administration by setting the busy trigger (greater than 2) and maximum number of calls.

Tip To configure call waiting for phones with no display (such as the

Cisco IP Phone Model 30 VIP) set the busy trigger to 2 and the maximum number of calls to 2.

Conference List

The conference list feature provides a list of participant directory numbers that are in an ad hoc conference. The name of the participant displays if it is configured in Cisco CallManager Administration.

Any participant can invoke the conference list feature on the phone and can view the participants. The conference controller can invoke the conference list feature and can view and remove any participant in the conference by using the Remove softkey.

This feature is particularly valuable in large conference rooms where sound clarity can often be a challenge.

The Cisco 7936 is designed with an integrated microphone array that allows for 360-degree audio pickup. This means that all participants, whether they are sitting directly in front of the device or at the far end of the table, can be heard clearly. With this feature, there is no need for multiple microphones, which simplifies the setup and reduces clutter.

Another key characteristic of the Cisco 7936 is its exceptional ease of use. The phone features a large, intuitive interface with a backlit display, making it easy to navigate through the various options and settings. Users can make calls, access directories, and manage conference features with minimal effort, resulting in a smoother meeting experience.

The Cisco 7936 operates using Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows the device to receive both power and data through a single Ethernet connection. This not only simplifies installation by reducing the number of cables required but also enhances the flexibility of placement in conference rooms.

In terms of compatibility, the Cisco 7936 works seamlessly with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and other VoIP platforms, ensuring that organizations can integrate it into their existing communication systems with ease. This interoperability allows businesses to leverage their technology investments while providing a reliable conferencing solution.

Security is another critical aspect of the Cisco 7936. The device supports encrypted voice communication protocols, ensuring that sensitive discussions remain private and secure. This is particularly important in corporate settings where confidentiality is paramount.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 7936 conference phone delivers exceptional audio quality, ease of use, and flexible deployment options. Its innovative technologies and robust security features make it an ideal solution for organizations looking to enhance their meeting environments and facilitate effective communication.
