ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The internal Cisco 2-port Ethernet switch allows for direct connections to a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network via an RJ-45 interface with single LAN
connectivity for both the phone and a colocated PC. The system administrator can designate separate VLANs (802.1Q) for the PC and Cisco IP
phones, providing improved information security and voice and data reliability.
A dedicated headset port eliminates the need for a separate amplifier when using a headset. This allows the handset to remain in its cradle,
simplifying headset use.
The handset is hearing aid compatible (HAC) and meets Federal Communications Commission (FCC) loudness requirements for the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). Section 508 loudness requirements can be achieved using industry-standard in-line handset amplifiers such as Walker
Equipment W-10 or CE-100 amplifiers.
The dial pad is also ADA-compliant.
The foot-stand of the Cisco IP Phone 7970G is adjustable from flat to 60 degrees to provide optimum display viewing and comfortable use of all
buttons and keys. The foot-stand is keyed to match standard wall-jack configurations for wall mounting. Two optional wall-mount brackets are also
offered.
For the Cisco IP Phone 7970G to have full display brightness, the external power adapter is an ordering requirement. The Cisco IP Phone 7970G can
receive power down the LAN from any of the Cisco in-line power-capable blades and boxes; however, the display screen is “half bright” and
therefore is not the recommended mode of operation.
In addition, the Cisco IP Phone 7970G supports both the Cisco pre-standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) and IEEE 802.3af PoE.
For added information security, the audible dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones are masked when the speakerphone mode is used.
Other Cisco IP Phone 7970G features include:
•
24+user-adjustable ring tones
•
G.711 and G.729a audio compression
•
An IP address assignment-DHCP client or statically configured
•
Comfort noise generation and voice activity detection (VAD) programming on a system basis
