How to Configure Settings for Poly Headsets

Objective

Configure the recommended settings for Poly headsets on Poly phones.

Applies To

  • Poly headsets
  • Poly phones

Procedure

There are two main settings to keep in mind when connecting your corded headset to a Poly phone. Headset Memory Mode allows all incoming and outgoing calls to go through your headset. Electronic Hookswitch (EHS) is a feature that allows users to start and end calls by pressing buttons on their headset. Not all headsets support electronic hookswitch, and those that do must be connected to an EHS adapter or cable to use this feature.
