Overview of the Cisco Small Business IP Phones
The Cisco Small Business IP Phones are full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet
Protocol) phones that provide voice communication over an IP network. The
phones include traditional features, such as call forwarding, redialing, speed
dialing, transferring calls, conference calling, and accessing voice mail. Calls can
be made or received with a handset, headset, or a speaker.
The Cisco Small Business IP phones contain Ethernet ports that link them to the
computer network. They also have secondary Ethernet ports that allow another
Ethernet device, such as a computer, to be connected to the network through the
IP phone.
Cisco Small Business IP phones require a separate power source. You can power
the phones by connecting them to a switch that provides Power over Ethernet
(PoE), or by using the optional a Cisco PA100 power adapter.
Caring for Your Phone
The Cisco Small Business IP phones are electronic devices that should not be
exposed to excessive heat, sun, cold, or water. To clean the equipment, wipe it
with a slightly moistened paper or cloth towel. Do not spray or pour cleaning
solution directly onto the device.
