Cisco IP Phone Hardware Overview

The Cisco IP Phone provides voice communication over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The Cisco IP Phone
functions much like a digital business phone, and allows you to place and receive phone calls and to access
features such as mute, hold, transfer, speed dial, call forward, and more. In addition, because the phone
connects to your data network, it offers enhanced IP telephony features, such as access to network information
and services, and customizable features and services.
The Cisco IP Phone 7841 supports Gigabit ethernet connectivity.
When adding features to the phone line keys, you are limited by the number of line keys available. You cannot
add more features than the number of line keys on your phone.
