Cisco Systems IP phone 7960 manual Using a Headset

Chapter 1 Product Overview

Cisco SIP IP Phone Connections

Note Only the network port (labeled 10/100 SW) supports inline power from the Cisco Catalyst switches.

For redundancy, you can use the Cisco AC adapter even if you are using inline power from the Cisco Catalyst switches. The Cisco SIP IP phone can share the power load being used from the inline power and external power source. If either the inline power or the external power goes down, the phone can switch entirely to the other power source.

To use this redundancy feature you must set the inline power mode to auto on the Cisco Catalyst switch. Next, connect the un-powered Cisco SIP IP phone to the network. After the phone powers up, connect the external power supply to the phone.

Using a Headset

The Cisco SIP IP phone supports a four or six-wire headset jack. Specifically, the Cisco SIP IP phone supports the following Plantronics headset models:

•Tristar Monaural

•Encore Monaural H91

•Encore Binaural H101

The Volume and Mute controls will also adjust volume to the earpiece and mute the speech path of the headset. The headset activation key is located on the front of the Cisco SIP IP phone.

Note When using a headset, an amplifier is not required. However, a coil cord is required to connect the headset to the headset port on the back of your Cisco IP Phone 7960. For information on ordering compatible headsets and coil cords for the Cisco IP phone 7960, see http://cisco.getheadsets.com.
