Hardware
Industrial design
The phone offers a highly usable and intuitive arrangement of lines, features, and calls. Transfer, Conference, and Hold appear on hard keys to reduce the number of presented softkeys to a maximum of 4 per call state.
Customization
You can order this model in arctic white or charcoal gray. Handsets are available internationally as slimline (140g) or standard (170g), and you can mix and match them in your work environment to enable a feeling of customization and ownership among your team.
Display
The phone delivers VGA presentation for calling, video calling, and applications, in addition to a 5.6-inch (14-cm) graphical TFT color touchscreen display, 24-bit color depth, 640 x 480 effective pixel resolution, and backlighting. The display also supports localization, requiring double-byte Unicode encoding for fonts.
Ethernet
An internal 2-port Cisco Ethernet switch allows for a direct connection to a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet network through an RJ-45 interface with single LAN connectivity for both the phone and a co-located PC. The system administrator can designate separate VLANs (802.1Q) for the PC and phone, providing improved security and reliability of voice and data traffic.
Desktop Wi-Fi Ethernet
As an alternative to wired Ethernet, this model supports an onboard Wi-Fi radio and antenna that enables connectivity to Wi-Fi access for greater return on investment (ROI) with a voice-enabled Cisco Unified Wireless Network.
Bluetooth
Mobility is possible for headset users within 10m/30 feet of their desktop, so you can go to the printer, a colleague’s desk, or nearby private location while on a call.
USB
Two USB ports increase the usability of call handling and applications by enabling accessories such as the Cisco Unified Video Camera, and USB wired headsets
External audio ports
General-purpose audio-in and audio-out ports enable a relaxed speakerphone experience over external speakers and the microphone.
