Considerations on headsets
Models with electronic hook control (such as Siemens Elipse 1.8 EHS and GN Netcom 9120)
for answering calls using a headset must use an optiPoint Acoustic Adapter, regardless of the
optiPoint model used. optiPoint Advanced features include a built-in headset interface.
However, an optiPoint Acoustic Adapter is required for connecting the headset. When an
optiPoint key is configured for using a headset (optional setting, the system behaves as if a
headset is connected. Therefore, it is recommended that when you disconnect the headset you
change the key configuration accordingly.
If you want to use a Siemens Elipse 1.8 EHS or GN Netcom 9120 set without the electronic
hook control switch, you must use an optiPoint Acoustic Adapter for optiPoint Entry, Basic and
Standard models. For the optiPoint Advanced, an optiPoint Acoustic Adapter is optional. The
headset can be connected to the built-in interface on the telephone’s rear panel using a RJ45
connector. The Headset feature key must be programmed to answer calls.
Headset models without an electronic hook key (e.g., Plantronics) can be connected directly to
the handset’s interface on an optiPoint (Entry, Basic or Standard) telephone, as well as through
an optiPoint Acoustic Adapter or the built-in interface (optiPoint Advanced only). However, in
order to be detected by the system, a Headset key must be programmed, regardless of the
configuration being used.
