Feature
Description
Messages
The phone offers direct access to voicemail.
Directories
The phone identifies incoming messages and categorizes them on the screen, allowing users to quickly and
effectively return calls using direct dial-back capability. The corporate directory integrates with the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol Version 3 (LDAP3) standard directory.
Settings
The Settings feature key allows the user to adjust display contrast, select background images (if available), and
select from a large number of unique ringer sounds through the User Preference menu. Network Configuration
preferences also can be set up (usually by the system administrator). Configuration can be either automatically
or manually set up for Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), Cisco
CallManager, and backup Cisco CallManagers. Other available Settings submenus include Device
Configuration and Security Configuration.
Services
The Cisco IP Phone 7961G allows users to quickly access diverse information such as weather, stocks, quote
of the day, or any Web-based information using XML to provide a portal to an ever-growing world of
applications, features, and information.
Help
The online Help feature gives users information about the phone 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.
Display
The phone has a large, high-resolution, graphical 4-bit grayscale display (320 x 222).
Speakerphone, Mute,
and Headset Buttons
The phone offers high-quality speakerphone technology, including easy-to-use speaker On/Off, Microphone
Mute, and Headset buttons. These buttons are lit when active. For added security, the audible dual tone
multifrequency (DTMF) tones are masked when the speakerphone mode is used.
