Cisco 7940 Basic Tutorial

[RoadRunnersTech]

i saw one of these at an office sell out for like 6 bucks

[MrMctickles]

it had no dislikes, so i had to help it

[Ipodtouchappsrule]

can I plug a phone line into it???

[tvandbeermakehomergo]

@Ipodtouchappsrule no, it runs over ethernet

[gswaru]

i think it's not 7940 - look at lines buttons - much more than 2

[UCitiseasy]

wow- all that money for the same functionality a hard with Avaya?

[JeepCrawler98]

You can use it at home - you can score these off ebay slightly used for about $100 give or take. They are VOIP phones, so you will need a VOIP service provider, though if you wish you can build yourself a PBX using AsteriskNOW and get a lot more functionality (that of a commercial PBX)

Damn old style phone

[Cleenz]

This is a 7960. The 7940 only has 4 buttons on the top next to the display.

[NerdForMIT]

@Cleenz the 7941 I believe has 4, the 7940G has 2. I have a 7940G in my room and a 7910G+S/W in the kitchen and im running cucme 4.0 with AA. im going to be upgrading soon. adding in 7 more phones and the fxo-m1 to my 1760 and some memory also.

how to install it at home pls let me know

[bedaman10]

can you use this as a home phone?

[olemissmitch]

You could, but...this phone runs $400-500, so I don't recommend it.

[TechnologyWizard1]

@olemissmitch so if i plug it into my router, it would display my home number? (XXX-XXX-XXXX)

[NerdForMIT]

@bedaman10 you would also need a cisco call manager (if you plan to run sccp)

[cmscglobal]

I like the functions

[malakisi]

Isn't that a 7960 model?
