Help—
The online help feature gives users information about the phone's keys, buttons, and features. The pixel display allows for
greater flexibility of features and significantly expands the information viewed when using features such as Services,
Information, Messages, and Directory. For example, the Directory button can show local and server-based directory
information.
The Cisco IP Phone 7940G features high-quality, speakerphone technology. It also includes an easy-to-use speaker on/off
button and microphone mute buttons. These buttons are lit when active.
The internal Cisco two-port Ethernet switch allows for a direct connection to a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network via an RJ-45
interface with single LAN connectivity for both the phone and a co-located PC. The system administrator can designate
separate virtual LANs (VLANs)(802.1Q) for the PC andCisco IP Phones providing improvedsecurity and reliability of voice
and data traffic.
A dedicated headset port eliminates the need for a separate amplifier when using a headset. This allows the handset to remain
in its cradle, making headset use simpler. The Cisco IP phone’s convenient volume control button provides for easy
decibel-level adjustments for the speakerphone, handset, headset, and ringer. The handset is Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC)
and meets FCC loudness requirements for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Section 508 loudness requirements can be
achieved using industry standard inline handset amplifiers such as Walker Equipment W-10 or CE-100 amplifiers.
The dial pad is also ADA compliant.
The footstand of the Cisco 7940G is adjustable from flat to 60 degrees to provide optimum display viewing and comfortable
use of all buttons and keys. The footstand is keyed to match standardwall jack configurations for wall mounting.Two optional
wall mount brackets are also offered as noted below.
The Cisco IP Phone 7940G can also receive power down the LAN from any of the Cisco inline power-capable blades and
boxes.
For added security, the audible dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones are masked when the speakerphone mode is used.
