Cisco IP Phone Model Breakdown

Cisco 7960 IP Phone

Cisco 7960 IP Phone

We now sell the SmartNET Service Agreements for these phones! (Necessary to get Firmware)

Use our web form to transmit your device information.

So you ask yourself?

What’s the difference between the Cisco 7940 and 7940G or the 7960 and 7961-GE?

What’s the difference between a Cisco 7940 and a 7945G?

Scroll down for a chart!

The Cisco 79xx series of phones is now a well established line of IP Telephones. Probably best known for their High Quality Speakerphone, and Sturdy construction. There are a number of reasons why they’re not always the best choice when buying an IP Phone. But that’s another story.

The 79xx line of phones is so well established that it has grown to include a variety of subversions. Whereas the product line used to contain just a handful of phones, Cisco has continually upgraded and released subsequent updates to their phones. For this reason we see the current multitude of phones on the market. Fortunately for us the numbering and naming scheme follows a pretty consistent logic.

Although there now exists a multitude of phones, as a general rule of thumb the majority of Cisco phones are based around one of three models. The 7940, 7960 or 7970. Most phones are simply subversions of these phone with different features and capabilities.

The Base Models

The 794x Series of Phones are all 2 Line Grayscale Phones

The 796x Series of Phones are Identical to the 7940s except with the presence of 6 lines instead of 2.

The 797x Series of Phones are Colour Executive Phones with 8 lines, which will drive you insane trying to configure.

The Subversions

The final number, and the letters that come after each of the phone models each represent a different version of the phone. Each with different features and limitations.

79xxG – The “G” in any Cisco Phone stands for “Global” it means that the phone supports Firmwares in Languages other than English. I will not include it in the below graph as it has no other bearing on any other features in the phones. Many of the later models all include this G, that is because Cisco eventually made it a standard feature on all the phones.

79×1 – This was the first generation of revisions to the Cisco line up released in 2006. The 79×1 phones are 802.3af PoE Compliant. For example, the 7940G supports only Cisco’s Prestandard PoE, whereas the 7941G will work with any normal PoE Switch. Additionally the 79×1 typically has a higher resolution screen than the 79×0.

79×1-GE – This is a further revision on the 79×1 phones, phones with the GE feature tag afterwards have been upgraded to support Gigabit Ethernet.

79×2 –An oddball version. High Resolution Greyscale Screen. Can’t find much else about it. Comments!

79×5 – The most recent update in the Cisco Series, now has a higher resolution standard, are colour, and have Gigabit Ethernet Ports standard.

79xx-CH1 – This is the exact same product as the one without the CH1, however the CH1 typically denotes that the CallManager License is included with the phone. (Only applies to customers using CallManager)

How to show dhcpd leases on CentOS (and most linux distros)

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

To show your current dhcpd table of leases is fairly simple. Connect to your server either locally or via ssh and then run the following lines.


cd /var/lib/dhcpd

cat dhcpd.leases

OR TO EDIT


nano dhcpd.leases

From there you can either view or edit your current dhcpd ip address leases.

The WAPPOE and WAPPOE12 Unofficial Compatibility List

Friday, May 1st, 2009
The WAPPOE12 Linksys PoE Injector

The WAPPOE12 Linksys PoE Injector

I purchased the WAPPOE12 for a customer who had a WRT54GX. The original tech who installed the Router opened up the cable and built a 12V injector using the unused pairs within a CAT5 cable. As much as this is a functional method of doing POE, and as many times I may have done this exact same thing in the past, I much prefer to go the standard compliant route when installing commercial solutions. For this reason I bought what seemed like a solution to all my problems, the WAPPOE12. Unfortunately as soon as I plugged it in the WRT54GX started to blink up a confused storm, I ran out and bought a WRT110 which is not on the compatibility list however and it works just fine. To make matters even more confusing the power adapter from the WRT110 works on the WRT54GX without any problems. Anyway, to conclude the WAPPOE and WAPPOE12 are finicky and the compatability list from Linksys is truncated and out of date. For this reason I’m going to be using this post as an unofficial compatability list for users looking to buy one of these products. If you know another product that works, or does not work leave a comment and I’ll add it to the list.
