The internal Cisco two-port Ethernet switch allows for a direct connection to a 10/100BASE-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 Cisco IP phones, providing improved security and reliability of voice and data traffic.
A dedicated headset port eliminates the need for a separate amplifier when using a headset, allowing the handset to remain in its cradle and thereby making headset use simpler. The convenient volume control button on the phone provides for easy decibel-level adjustments for the speakerphone, handset, headset, and ringer. The handset is hearing aid-compatible (HAC) and meets FCC loudness requirements for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Section 508 loudness requirements can be achieved using industry-standard inline handset amplifiers such as Walker Equipment W-10 or CE-100 amplifiers.
The dial pad is also ADA-compliant.
The footstand of the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940G is adjustable from flat to 60 degrees to provide optimum display viewing and comfortable use of all buttons and keys. The footstand is keyed to match standard wall jack configurations for wall mounting. Two optional wall-mount brackets are also offered.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7940G can also receive power down the LAN from any of the Cisco Inline Power-capable blades and boxes.
For added security, the audible dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) tones are masked when the speakerphone mode is used.

• 24+ user-adjustable ring tones
