Introducing Your Cisco IP Phone
A Cisco IP Phone is a full-featured 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, redialing, and conference calling.
This guide helps you learn to use the various features and services available on
your phone. This chapter contains the following sections:
