Understanding Lines vs. Calls

To avoid confusion about lines and calls, refer to these descriptions:

Lines—Each corresponds to a directory number that others can use to call you.

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G (SIP) support up to two lines per call.

Calls —Each line can support multiple calls. By default, your phone supports four connected calls per line, but your system administrator can adjust this number according to your needs. Only one call can be active at any time; other calls are automatically placed on hold.

Understanding Feature Availability

Depending on your phone system configuration, features included in this Phone Guide might not be available to you or might work differently on your phone. Contact your support desk or system administrator for information about feature operation or availability.

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. It includes a monochrome LCD screen and supports a maximum of two lines. Despite its simplicity, the 7940G is equipped with several key features such as integrated speakerphone and mute options, making it ideal for day-to-day communication needs. Both models support Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power adapters and ensuring a cleaner, more organized workspace.

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.

In summary, Cisco’s 7960G and 7940G VoIP phones are exemplary devices that cater to a variety of business communication scenarios. With their blend of functionality, support for essential technologies, and reliable performance, they continue to serve organizations effectively in an increasingly interconnected world. Whether used in a bustling office or as part of a dynamic telecommunications strategy, these models offer excellent value and performance.
