Cisco - Linksys SPA942 IP Phone

Stylish and functional in design, the Cisco - Linksys SPA942 4-Line IP Phone with 2-Port Switch is ideal for a residence or business using a hosted IP telephony service, an IP private branch exchange (PBX), or a large-scale IP Centrex deployment. The Cisco - Linksys SPA942 uses industryleading voice over IP (VoIP) technology from Cisco to deliver an upgradeable high-quality IP phone that is unparalleled in features, value, and support.

Features such as easy station moves and shared line appearances (across local and geographically dispersed locations) are just some of the many advantages. Standard features on the Cisco - Linksys SPA942 include four active lines, dual-switched Ethernet ports, 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE)* support, a high-resolution graphical display, full-duplex speakerphone, and a 2.5-mm headset port. Each line can be independently configured to use a unique phone number (or extension), or can use a shared number that is assigned to multiple phones.

The Cisco - Linksys SPA942 uses standard encryption protocols to provide secure remote provisioning and unobtrusive in-service software upgrades. Highly secure remote provisioning tools include detailed performance measurement and troubleshooting features, enabling network providers to deliver high-quality support to their subscribers. Remote provisioning also saves service providers the hassle and expense of managing, preloading, and reconfiguring customer premises equipment (CPE).
*The power supply for the SPA942 is sold separately and is required if PoE capability is not implemented.

Call Ctrl brings the functionality of your SPA942 to your desktop. This is the only solution currently available and developed specifically for SPA942. Call Ctrl was developed to fill the gap between the phone and your computer. Binding the phone and desktop together multiplies the SPA942 capabilities which exponentially increases both productivity and features.

Dialing calls from most Windows applications such as Outlook or Internet Explorer is made possible through Call Ctrl. After Call Ctrl is installed a simple wizard-style setup is used to connect Call Ctrl to the SPA942. Phone functions such as making calls, hang up, hold, mute, transfer, conference are all available from within Windows. A pop-up or screen-pop is made for new incoming calls where a user can perform a number of functions to properly handle the incoming call. Call Ctrl reports on all phone number activity.
