In
addition, Cisco Intelligent Proximity brings the worlds of desk and

desk for your work. You can move the audio path over to the Cisco IP
Phone 8851 during active mobile calls to take advantage of its superior
audio acoustics. An example would be to share a conversation with a
colleague who you want to listen in. This capability gives you greater
flexibility and a superior user experience when at your desk.

your desk.
The Cisco IP Phone 8851 offers five programmable line
keys. You can configure keys to support either multiple directory
numbers or calling features such as speed dial. You can also boost
productivity by handling multiple calls for each directory number using
the multicall-per-line feature. Fixed-function keys give you one-touch
access to applications, messaging, directory, as well as often-used
calling features such as hold/resume, transfer, and conference. A
five-way navigation cluster helps you transition through menus more
easily. Backlit acoustic keys provide flexibility for audio path
selection and switching.
