Ring Both Headset and PC

This parameter gives you the option to have the PC ringtone played on both the headset as well as the PC speaker.

When this parameter is selected, the PC ringtone will be heard on both the PC speaker as well as the headset.

When this parameter is not selected, the PC ringtone will only be heard on either the headset or the PC speaker based on how the PC audio has been set up.

Microsoft OC/Lync Dial-tone Enabled

If this feature is selected, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft OC/Lync will assume the user is trying to place a VoIP call and provide a dial tone.

If this feature is not selected, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft OC/Lync will sit idle.

Audio Sensing Enabled

Audio Sensing is a special feature supported by Plantronics wireless devices that can detect an audio signal at the USB port and automatically establish a PC radio link between the USB adapter and wireless headset without the user having to press the PC call control button. If the parameter “Microsoft OC/Lync Dial-tone Enabled” is selected, then every time a PC radio link is established the Microsoft OC/Lync dial tone will be heard. However, the user may have pressed the PC call control button

to listen to music, etc., and does not want to hear the dial-tone. In this case, if the user selects the “Audio Sensing Enabled” parameter, the radio link will be established automatically when any PC audio is detected at the USB port, thus eliminating the need for the user to press the PC call control button.

Maintain Headset to PC Link

This parameter forces the radio link to the PC to stay active even after the call has ended. This can eliminate the need to re-establish the radio link when switching between PC audio applications.
