Cisco Telephone Rollout

Telephone Services is in the process of rolling out new Cisco Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephones across campus.  These new telephones connect via the campus data network, and offer many features not offered by our current NEC telephones.

The available telephone models are listed below.

The Cisco 7911 G is the basic single-line Phone in the Cisco lineup.  We’ll be using this phone for student worker desks, classrooms and various other courtesy phone applications.

The Cisco 7942 G is the full-featured, two-button phone that will be issued to most faculty and staff members.  It has many features, including a single button for voicemail access, and a list of directories, including missed calls.  The 7942G has a maximum of two line appearances.  Because of the friendly features of the new call pickup group we have found that in most instances additional line appearances aren’t necessary.

 User's Guide for 7942 and 7962 telephones

The Cisco 7962 G is the same as the 7942G but with six buttons for six possible line appearances.  Each department will be issued one 7962G for the main secretary.  Additional 7942G phones can be upgraded at rollout for an “upcharge” of $65 per phone.

 Shown here is a 7962G with a single 7915 sidecar and footstand.  The 7915 sidecar adds a total of 24 line appearances, and requires a separate power supply.  A 7962G with sidecar can be purchased in place of a 7942G at rollout for an “upcharge” of $325, or in place of a 7962G at rollout for an upcharge of $265.   A 7962G with dual sidecars can be purchased in place of a 7942G at rollout for an “upcharge” of $600, or in place of a 7962G at rollout for an upcharge of $545.  A 7962G with dual sidecars can access a total of 54 line appearances.

The 7937 Conference phone may be purchased by departments at any time.  These versatile conference phones can be used in any location with an active data jack, and may be purchased with or without the extension speaker/microphone modules.  The price of a 737 Conference phone is $843.84.

The 7925 phone is a full-featured wireless handset that operates on the campus wireless network.  This phone works anywhere on campus with wireless coverage.  Because of many available options, please contact Telephone Services for upgrade pricing.
