1.1. Interoperability Compliance Testing

Avaya’s formal testing and Declaration of Conformity is provided only on the headsets/handsets that carry the Avaya brand or logo. Avaya may conduct testing of non-Avaya headset/handset to determine interoperability with Avaya phones. However, Avaya does not conduct the testing of non-Avaya headsets/handsets for: Acoustic Pressure, Safety, Hearing Aid Compliance, EMC regulations, or any other tests to ensure conformity with safety, audio quality, long-term reliability or any regulation requirements. As a result, Avaya makes no representations whether a particular non-Avaya headset will work with Avaya’s telephones or with a different generation of the same Avaya telephone.

Since there is no industry standard for handset interfaces, different manufacturers utilize different handset/headset interfaces with their telephones. Therefore, any claim made by a headset vendor that its product is compatible with Avaya telephones does not equate to a guarantee that the headset will provide adequate safety protection or audio quality.

The interoperability compliance test included feature and serviceability testing. The feature testing focused on placing calls to and from Avaya IP Softphone, Avaya IP Agent and Avaya one-X Communicator using Plantronics Blackwire C420 Headsets and verifying good talk path in both directions. The type of calls made included calls to voicemail, to internal extensions and to the PSTN.

The serviceability testing focused on verifying the usability of Plantronics Blackwire C420 Headsets after restarting the Avaya softphone applications, disconnecting and reconnecting the Headsets and rebooting the PC.
