A More Flexible VoIP System with the SPA942!

Four active lines and dual switched Ethernet ports offer incredible flexibility to the home or small-business Internet telephony user. Formerly part of the Linksys Voice System (LVS), now part of Cisco Small Business IP Phone Series, the SPA942 IP Phone can be configured to carry a unique phone number or extension for each of its lines, or can be configured to use a shared number over multiple phones.

Based on the SIP standard, the Cisco SPA942 is able to easily integrate new features and services offered by providers. A high-resolution display makes for easy menu- and web-based configuration.

Additional features of the Cisco SPA942 IP Phone include:

• TPower over Ethernet 802.3af, allowing for single-source electricity without an additional power supply
• A high-resolution graphical display; dual switched Ethernet ports; high-quality, full-duplex speakerphone; and a 2.5 mm headset port
• The SPA942 has the ability to connect directly to an Internet telephone service provider or to an IP PBX
• Easy station moves, presence, and shared line appearances across local and geographically dispersed locations

Comprehensive Interoperability and SIP Based Feature Set

Based on the SIP standard, the SPA942 has been tested to ensure comprehensive interoperability with equipment from VoIP infrastructure leaders enabling service providers to quickly roll-out competitive, feature rich services to their customers. With hundreds of features and configurable service parameters, the SPA942 addresses the requirements of traditional business users while leveraging the advantages of IP telephony. Features such as easy station moves, presence, and shared line appearances (across local and geographically dispersed locations) are just some of the many advantages of the SPA942.

Carrier-Grade Security, Provisioning, and Management

The SPA942 uses standard encryption protocols to provide secure remote provisioning and unobtrusive in-service software upgrades. Linksys 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, pre-loading, and re-configuring customer premise equipment (CPE).
