How do you interface Cisco IP phones with a traditional PSTN? How do you interface/connect existing Cisco 7940/7960 phones with a traditional PSTN-type solution? (XO brings you the lines on a T1 but converts it to analog, i believe.)

How do I get two cisco 7940 phones to ring simultaneously without using a shared line? I have a person that works in two separate offices as a manager. Each office is in a separate location, dev pool, partition...etc, and each has a different directory number. The current manager will switch locations on a regular basis and wants to have it so it doesn't matter if one or the other line is called, it will ring in either office. Presumably, a new person will soon be hired to take over as manager in one or the other office, so I don't want to implement sharing the lines between offices, because although that might be the easiest solution, it's not good to have lines from different partitions appearing all over the network on devices in other partitions...it could quickly become a mess. So, I'd just like to have both numbers ring at the same time when one or the other is called. I was looking at line groups and hunt lists, but don't want to create a new hunt pilot number that people have to remember to call, or they'd have to change the directory listing.

On Cisco IP Phones, is there anyway to display the user's speed dial list? I am looking at my desk phone, a CISCO IP PHONE 7960 series.

What is the MAC address prefix (OUI) of Cisco VoIP phones? I have a program that searches for MAC address prefixes to locate where devices are connected on the network.

Shouldnt CISCO IP PHONES be using SHORT RANGE WIRELESS or SHORT RANGE RADIO? Why do we even need black wires that trip people over, and act as a hindrance? The phone is an instrument and must be able to exist like a pet on a table using air to communicate, because air is the carrier of energy. It must also be possible for all CISCO IP PHONES within a particular office using the same preset code to be able to find each other by proxymity by physical location. For example my phone does not even know, what is the phone number of the person sitting right next to my cabin, who has a CISCO IP phone also. Shouldnt the directory of phone numbers appear DISCOVERED by COMMON CONCEPT of physical location?

How do you tell if a cisco phone system shared line is in use when you have an incoming call? My boss and I share a line on a Cisco IP Phone. When a call comes in, I cannot tell whether she is on another call or not. There must be a way besides barging into her office.

Can you use Cisco IP phones in a normal home office environment? I am looking to set up my home office and interested in getting a Cisco IP phone (like the Cisco 7940G IP Phone) to use on sipgate (SIP protocol).

Cisco Inexpensive VOIP solution for newbs? I'm getting a Cisco 1701 which I know supports VOIP and considering a 2621XM to learn. I know both can do PBX (am I right?). I'd like to use a VOIP phone (or two) and use a land line. Also, I plan to set up a point to point connection to peer wanting to do similar. If I wanted to set up voice over land line what do I need to do, and cheaper method is best. I've heard of DID and FXS. DID is more expensive, the cards I've found.

Also, say I didn't use a land line though defeat a big purpose, can I still set up two Cisco IP phones linked? Do I need Call Manager Express, is there a cheaper solution like computer based software? I'm confused on logistics and how I could go about this. If anyone could provide info, it would be great!

Should I be able to use a Cisco VG200 w/ 2vic for a regular phone line to IP phone? Though i don't have a real life PBX as it's unrealistic for home use, nor multiple phone lines, will the voice gateway allow me to use an IP phone/ create other extension to other phones (in theory).. dial 9 our.. get the drift. I can't afford the Cisco CallManager hardware in my dreams but I know there are IOS Command line that can do similar. I'm hoping the VG200 will allow all this without the need for Asterik or even work in conjunction. Though I'd like to go the CCVP way of business... All I want is to hook up a phone line in the VIC on the Voice Gateway then do the proper configs in between (if possible as my question poses) to get a dial-tone on a Cisco IP phone then be using VOIP. Thanks for your help! =) Oh yea, bonus question, are there a Windows version of CallManager or is that pretty much just hardware?
