simple switching between telephone handset/headset and hands-free facility with the hands-
free button

System requirements

Your PC must fulfill the following requirements if you want to use all the functions of the KBPC M
multimedia keyboard:
Audio board (sound card)
The audio board should have a stereo loudspeaker output or audio line output and a
microphone input.
Modem board
Your PC should have a modem with voice function. If possible, the voice signal output of the
modem should be routed via the audio board. (In a lot of multimedia PCs this connection is
already implemented internally.)
Communications software
No special demands are made on your communications software, just that it should be suited
to your requirements. It should be matched to your needs.
Quickstart function
Your PC should have a Quickstart function (e. g. BIOSFaX) in order to ensure reliable reception
for your answering machine, fax or telephone, and also to save power.
Keyboard interface
Die Tastaturschnittstelle der Systemeinheit (5 V Versorgungsspannung) muß für mindestens
600 mA ausgelegt sein. This applies to all Siemens PCs (except notebooks).
Further information on these features is provided in the manuals for your PC and/or for the specified
system components.
