THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

1 Getting Started

This guide helps you quickly set up and use the Cisco IP Conference Station 7935. The IP Conference Station requires Cisco CallManager and your system administrator must prepare the network for the IP Conference Station. If a technician is not installing the IP Conference Station, verify with your system administrator that the network is ready for the IP Conference Station. Be sure to read the Release Notes and both the Parts List and the Safety Notices sections in this guide before you begin to set up and use the IP Conference Station.

Note If your IP Conference Station is already set up, skip to Section 3, Features and Web Interface.

Introduction

The Cisco IP Conference Station 7935 is an IP-based, hands-free conference room station that uses Voice over IP (VoIP) technology. The IP Conference Station provides basic business conferencing features and functions, such as Call Hold, Call Transfer, Call Release, Mute, and Conference, over an IP network. It is designed to be used primarily on desktops and in small- to medium-sized conference rooms to facilitate conference calling. It replaces a traditional analog conferencing unit in an

telephony network.

Safety Notices

These are the safety considerations for using the IP Conference Station. Read these notices before you install or use the IP Conference Station.

Warning

This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents.

Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
