Introducing Your Cisco IP Phone

A Cisco IP Phone is a full-feature telephone that provides voice communication

over the same data network that your computer uses. This phone functions much

like a traditional analog phone, allowing you to place and receive telephone calls.

It also supports features that you have come to expect from a telephone—such as

speed dialing, redial, call transfer, conference calling, and voice mail access.

Your Cisco IP Phone offers features that might surprise you. Because it is part of

an IP network, your Cisco IP Phone can provide not only telephony services, but

data services, too—including up-to-the-minute information and services from the

network. In a nutshell, your Cisco IP Phone provides a whole range of

communication features that you could not expect from a traditional telephone.

This guide helps you learn to use the various features and services available on

your phone. Not all of the features described in this book are available by

default—your administrator may not add them for you. You access some phone

features and services on the phone itself, while you customize others on a

convenient web page. For information about the User Options web page, see
