Feature

Description

 

 

Call Release

You can release an incoming call or an

 

outgoing call by pressing either the

 

Release (Goodbye) key on the

 

IP Deskphone or the On Hook

 

equivalent key on the headset. After a

 

call is released, audio data stops

 

between the IP Deskphone and the

 

headset.

 

If you are using the Plantronics headset,

 

to release a call, press and hold the

 

answer/release toggle button for more

 

than two seconds.

 

 

Call Mute

The mute key event is handled

 

independently on the headset. The

 

corresponding HID command is sent to

 

the IP Deskphone to synchronize

 

IP Deskphone status. Mute status

 

indication on the headset is also

 

independent. When muted, the headset

 

streams blank audio to the

 

IP Deskphone and the IP Deskphone

 

also mutes the audio to the far end

 

(double muted).

 

 

Volume Up/Down

This class of headsets manages volume

 

changes locally whenever Volume Up/

 

Down keys are pressed. Pressing the

 

Volume Up/Down keys on the headset

 

has no effect on system volume. The

 

IP Deskphone ignores volume events

 

from the headsets to avoid double

 

volume changes. On the other hand,

 

volume changes on the IP Deskphone

 

change the system setting and indirectly

 

affects the volume level on the headset.
