Cisco IP phones provide unmatched levels of integrated business capabilities and converged communications features beyond today's conventional voice systems, surpassing competitive offerings. As the market leader in IP telephony, Cisco Systems continues to deliver unparalleled end-to-end data and true voice-over-IP (VoIP) solutions, offering the most complete, stylish, fully featured IP phone portfolio to enterprise and small- and midsized-business customers.
The Cisco IP Phone 7970G demonstrates the latest technology and advancements in VoIP telephony. It addresses not only the needs of the executive or major decision maker but also brings network data and applications to users without PCs. This state-of-the-art IP phone includes a backlit, high-resolution color touch-screen display for easy access to communication information, timesaving applications, and feature usage. It also enables customers and developers to deliver more innovative and productivity-enhancing Extensible Markup Language (XML) applications to the display.
Access to eight telephone lines (or combination of lines and direct access to telephony features), a high-quality hands-free speakerphone, a built-in headset connection, both Cisco prestandard Power over Ethernet (P) and IEEE 802.3af P are supported.
Features
The Cisco IP Phone 7970G does not require hands-on moves or changes. Users can simply pick up the phone and move to a new location anywhere on their network-without the help of a system administrator
With both a colour display and touch screen, the Cisco IP Phone 7970G delivers more powerful applications and network data to the desktop
The internal Cisco 2-port Ethernet switch allows for direct connections to a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet network through an RJ-45 interface with single LAN connectivity for both the phone and a co-located PC. The system administrator can designate separate VLANs (802.1Q) for the PC and Cisco Unified 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, allowing the handset to remain in its cradle-thereby 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 inline 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 Unified 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
The external power adaptor for the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970G must be ordered to have full display brightness. The phone can receive power down the LAN from any of the Cisco Inline 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 Unified IP Phone 7970G supports both the Cisco Prestandard PoE and IEEE 802.3af PoE
For added information security, the audible dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones are masked when the speakerphone mode is used
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
