Features
The Cisco 7940G is dynamic and designed to grow with system capabilities. Features will keep pace with new changes via
software updates to the phone’s flash memory. The phone provides many accessibility methods according to user preference.
Various methods or paths include buttons, softkeys, a navigation key, and direct access with the use of corresponding “ghost”
digits. Each of the features below will have expanded capabilities in the future:

Direct access to voice mail. In the near future voice mail speech to text readout on the display.
Directories
The Cisco IP Phone 7940G identifies incoming messages and categorizes them for users on the screen. This allows users to
quickly and effectively return calls using direct dial-back capability.
The corporate directory integrates with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP3) standard directory.
Settings
The Settings feature key allows the user to adjust display contrast and select from a large number of unique ringer sounds,
volume settings for all audio such as ringer, handset, headset, and speaker. Network Configuration preferences can also be set
up. (Network configuration is usually set up by the System Administrator.) Configuration can either be automatic or manually
set up for Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), CallManager, and backup
CallManagers.
A huge advantage is the ability for no hands on moves and changes. Just pick up the phone and move to the new location
anywhere on your network. No system administration is required.
