Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G Overview
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G models are full-featured telephones that can be plugged
directly into a SIP network and can be used very much like a standard PBX telephone. Phone terminals
can attach to the existing data network infrastructure, using 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T interfaces on
an Ethernet switch.
