Using Other Types of Softphones and Audio Programs

your Jabra headset reference manual for details about how to invoke each of these functions.

Using Other Types of Softphones and Audio Programs

Even if you use a softphone that is not mentioned above, then you will still be able to use your headset together with your software. In this case, your headset will work just like a passive PC plug-and-play sound card with sound-in and sound-out features. This is probably how your softphone documentation describes the expected operating environment in its documentation.

There are two possible exceptions that may enable headset-based control of your softphone:

•If your softphone operates the headset using the USB human interface device standard, as Microsoft Office Communicator does, then your softphone may support the same types of features described above for Office Communicator.

•Jabra is constantly evaluating the softphone market to see which new programs should be supported with a dedicated driver, as described above for Skype and Cisco. Contact your Jabra representative or see the Jabra web site for the latest news on softphone driver development.
