Connecting to a Phone with an Electronic Hookswitch
If your desk phone includes an electronic hookswitch, then you can take advantage of this feature by purchasing and installing the appropriate type of electronic hookswitch adapter for your phone. Adapter requirements can be very different between desk phone models. Please see our web site and/or refer to your telephone’s user manual for details about electronic hookswitch compatibility.

Connecting to a Phone using RHL Mode
In the case of a phone that uses RHL mode directly — for example, an NRX or Forte phone — no EHS adapter is used.
