This chapter provides an overview of your Cisco SPA525G and Cisco SPA525G2 IP phone.

Overview

The Cisco SPA525G and Cisco SPA525G2 IP phone is a full-featured VoIP (Voice over Internet
Protocol) phone that provide voice communication over an IP network. It provides traditional
features, such as call forwarding, redialing, speed dialing, transferring calls, conference calling, and
accessing voice mail. Calls can be made or received with a handset, headset or speaker.
The Cisco SPA525G and Cisco SPA525G2 features vary, depending on the type of call control
system that you are using and the limitations set by the phone system administrator. This

Cisco SPA 9000 Voice System or a BroadSoft or Asterisk system, with no limitations. If you are
using the Cisco SPA 525G/525G2 with a Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series, see the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Express for Cisco Small Business IP Phone SPA 525G/SPA 525G2
User Guide.
