The Linksys SPA962 VoIP telephone

The SPA962 VoIP telephone will appeal to businesses using a hosted IP telephony service, an IP PBX, or a large scale IP Centrex deployment, with it's array of features.





Here are some features that stand out;

• Full featured six line business class IP Phone supporting Power over Ethernet 802.3af
• Connect directly to an Internet Telephone Service Provider or connect to an IP PBX
• Dual switched Ethernet ports, Speakerphone, Caller ID, Call Hold, Conferencing, and more
• Appealing Four Inch, True Color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

I like the fact that it has a color Screen!Standard features on the SPA962 include six active lines, dual switched Ethernet ports, 802.3af PoE support, a high resolution color display, speakerphone, and a 2.5 mm head-set port. Each line can be independently configured to use a unique phone number (or extension), or can be configured to use a shared number that is assigned to multiple phones. The power supply for the SPA962 is sold separately and will be required if PoE functionality is not implemented.

Comprehensive Interoperability and SIP Based Feature Set
Based on the SIP standard, the SPA962 has been tested to ensure comprehensive interoperability with equipment from VoIP infrastructure leaders enabling service providers to quickly roll-out competitive, feature rich services to their customers. With hundreds of features and configurable service parameters, the SPA962 addresses the requirements of traditional business users while leveraging the advantages of IP telephony. Features such as easy station moves, presence, and shared line appearances (across local and geographically dispersed locations) are just some of the many advantages of the SPA962.

Carrier-Grade Security, Provisioning, and Management
The SPA962 uses standard encryption protocols to provide secure remote provisioning and unobtrusive in-service software upgrades. Linksys secure remote provisioning tools include detailed performance measurement and troubleshooting features, enabling network providers to deliver high quality support to their subscribers. Remote provisioning also saves service providers the hassle and expense of managing, pre-loading, and re-configuring customer premise equipment
