IP phones also have special features not available in traditional phones. The Cisco
SPA IP phones contain Ethernet ports, or ports that allow them to be linked to the
computer network. Some models have additional Ethernet ports that allow a
computer to be connected to the network through the IP phone.
Unlike traditional phones, Cisco SPA IP phones require a separate power source.
Some models use power adapters, and others can use Power over Ethernet (PoE).
This means the phone can be connected to a switch that provides PoE to the
phone, and does not require a separate power source.
The following table shows the Cisco SPA IP phones currently available and their
respective features:

The SPA941 and SPA942 provide support for 4 lines starting with firmware release 5.2.

instructions provided in the
