Linksys SPA942 IP Phone

Linksys SPA942

The SPA 942 is from the same family as the SPA 941 and is in fact almost identical with the exception of its defining feature: when installed on a PoE network it doesn't need a mains power supply unit. Stylish and functional in design, the SPA942 VoIP telephone is ideal for a residence or business using a hosted IP telephony service, an IP PBX, or a large scale IP Centrex deployment. The SPA942 leverages industry leading VoIP technology from Linksys to deliver an upgradeable high quality IP Phone that is unparalleled in features, value, and support. Standard features on the SPA942 include two active lines, dual switched Ethernet ports, 802.3af PoE support, a high resolution graphical display, speakerphone, and a 2.5 mm head-set port. With a simple software update, the SPA942 is upgradeable to a four line phone. 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.
