Action:

Headset – Confirm that the digital phone being used officially supports that headset. Any audio quality problems that result between a headset

qand phone can be magnified when they are used remotely.

Speakerphone – Speakerphones are more susceptible than handsets to background noise. In general, audio quality will always be better with the handset or headset, but speakerphones should work fine if

qbackground noise is limited.

Errors in transmission – Sometimes errors in passing data from the remote to the switch or visa-versa can cause audio problems. To check for these types of errors, run the Switch Management Interface. Choose the Hardware tab, select the card in question, and select the Statistics tab on the right. All errors since the last reset are displayed. See pages 6-16to 6-18for a detailed description of error codes. These errors are frequently caused by analog line problems. Try swapping out the analog line or have the user connect at a lower connect rate.
