Features of your Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone

The Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone 8831 is a full-featured single line conference station that provides voice communication over an IP network. It functions much like a digital business phone, allowing you to place and receive calls and to access features such as mute, hold, transfer, speed dial, and call forward. In addition, because conference stations connect to your data network, they offer enhanced IP telephony features, including access to network information, network services, and customizable features and services.

The conference station provides a backlit LCD screen, support for up to ten speed-dial numbers, and a variety of other sophisticated functions. Optional microphone extension kits provide enhanced room coverage that can be further expanded by linking two units together.

In addition to basic call-handling features, your conference station can provide enhanced productivity features that extend your call-handling capabilities. Depending on configuration, the conference station supports:

Access to network data, XML applications, and web-based services.

Online customizing of conference station features and services from your User Options web pages.

These devices are designed to cater to the needs of modern enterprises seeking reliable, high-quality communication solutions.

The Cisco CP8831DCK9 is a wireless conference phone known for its superior audio quality and flexibility. This model employs Cisco's cutting-edge Wideband Audio technology, which ensures crystal-clear sound during voice calls. It is designed specifically for conference rooms, enabling teams to communicate effectively regardless of their physical location. One of the key features of the CP8831DCK9 is its support for both local and cloud-based services, making it an adaptable choice for businesses that employ a hybrid communication model.

Both models feature an intuitive user interface, complete with a large display that provides easy access to contacts, call logs, and a variety of functions. They support multiple user profiles, allowing for a customized experience for different users throughout the organization. Additionally, these phones are equipped with advanced security protocols to ensure that calls are protected against eavesdropping, an increasingly crucial feature in today's business landscape.

In terms of connectivity, both models support Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for additional power outlets. They are compatible with Cisco's unified communications solutions, making them ideal for organizations looking to integrate voice, video, and data services seamlessly.
