Abstract These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required to integrate the Plantronics EncorePro 530/540 Headsets and Plantronics HIS Adapter Cable with Avaya 9600 Series IP Deskphones using H.323 and SIP protocols. The EncorePro 530/540 headsets provide two- way audio with a flexible mic. This solution does not provide call control features directly from the headset, such as answering or terminating a call from the headset.

3. Reference Configuration Figure 1 illustrates the test configuration used to verify the Plantronics EncorePro 530/540 Headsets with Avaya 9600 Series IP Deskphones. The configuration consists of an Avaya S8800 Server running Avaya Aura® Communication Manager with an Avaya G650 Media Gateway providing connectivity to the PSTN via an ISDN-PRI trunk (not shown).
The following equipment and software were used for the sample configuration provided: Equipment/Software Release/Version Avaya Aura® Communication Manager 6.3 SP 8 running on an Avaya S8800 Server with (R016x.03.0.124.0 w/Patch 21588) a G650 Media Gateway Avaya Aura® Session Manager 6.3 SP 7 (6.3.7.0.637008) 6.3.7...
In this example, 9620 was used. Set the Port field to IP and configure a Security Code as that password to be used by the Avaya deskphone to log in. Note: To enable Auto Answer on the IP deskphone set the Auto Answer field on Page 2 (not shown) to the appropriate value, such as all.
