What's the difference between Polycom IP7000 and CP-7937?

[Chen Wang]

Hi,

As I know, the CP-7937 is the OEM phone of Polycom IP7000.

Although the Industrial Design is basically the same, the core skill and perfermance is quite different.

Would anyone tell me what the difference between Polycom IP7000 and CP-7937 conference phone ?

Thanks !

IP7000 = SIP

7937 = SCCP (Skinny)

Thanks Brandon, I know they are using different protocol and communicate with CUCM.

Would you advise me more, I mean the difference on performance?

Thanks !

I am not sure I understand.  they should both perform the same.  Do you mean you are interested in what specific features are supported in each?  In general, SCCP will have best support for all advertised features.  SIP will have most, but tends to be deficient in some areas.  For a basic conference phone that sits in a room and just needs to make and take calls it probably doesn't matter.  If you have more advanced needs or specific features you are interested in then please ask.

There is a difference:

Polycom firmware allows to daisy chain two IP7000 phones (to work like one) and Cisco SCCP does not.
