To connect a handset to the Cisco Unified IP Phone, plug the cable into the
handset and the Handset port on the back of the phone.
Speaker
The Cisco Unified IP Phones 7906G and 7911G include a speaker that you can
use to monitor calls. You can enable either the Monitor mode or Group Listen
mode to allow users to listen on the speaker.
The speaker is enabled by default. You must disable the speaker through the
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration application. To do so, choose Device
> Phone and locate the phone you want to modify. In the Phone Configuration
web page for the phone, check the Disable Speakerphone check box.
Monitor Mode
In Monitor mode, users can only listen to a call on the speaker. To speak to the
other party on the call, users must pick up the handset.
Monitor mode is enabled by default if the speaker is enabled on Cisco Unified
CallManager Administration.
From the phone, users can turn on the Monitor function with the Monitor softkey,
and turn off this function with the MonOff softkey or by picking up the handset.
Group Listen Mode
In Group Listen mode, both the handset and speaker can be active at the same
time. During a call, one user can talk into the handset while other users can listen
over the speaker.
Enabling Group Listen Mode on Cisco Unified CallManager
Group Listen mode is disabled by default. To enable this mode, you must do so
from the Phone Configuration page in Cisco Unified CallManager
Administration.
