Using Electronic Hookswitch
When you use a headset that supports electronic hookswitch (EHS), you can place, answer, and end
calls by using the controls on your headset.
To use EHS, you need a headset that includes a serial control interface in addition to the standard analog
headset jack (RJ-9) interface. The serial control interface requires an EHS adapter that you can purchase
from your headset manufacturer.
Headsets that support EHS include a base unit that connects to your phone. The headset connects to the
base unit wirelessly, which enables you to use your headset even if you're some distance away from your
phone. Typically, you can work wirelessly up to 300 feet (91 meters) from your phone and still use the
EHS controls. Check with your headset's user guide for the precise range restrictions.
See
Feature Profile 37477: Using Headsets with Polycom Phones
on
for a list of
compatible headsets.
Setting the Headset Base Unit Options
Before you connect your headset to your phone and use EHS, you need to set the following options for
your specific headset model:
• For Jabra headsets, change the headset mode to
DHSG
on the headset base unit. For details, refer
to your headset documentation or contact Jabra support.
• For Plantronics headsets, change the coarse receive level to
3
and the transmit level to
B
on the
headset base unit. For details, refer to the guide that comes with your headset.
• For Sennheiser headsets, set the first DIP switch labeled
1
(DHSG) to the down position on the
back of the headset base unit. For additional details, see your headset's documentation or contact
Sennheiser support.
Enable Electronic Hookswitch
After you set the base unit options for your headset and connect your headset to your phone, you can
