Cisco Unified Ip Conference Phone Setup - Cisco 8831NR Administration Manual

Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone Installation
Wireless Extension Microphone Kit
The optional wireless microphone extension kit enhances the room coverage of the conference phone. Two
wireless microphones can be paired to the conference phone.
The Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone 8831NR does not support wireless microphones.
Wireless microphones support an 8-hour call before the battery requires charging. The charger is separate
device, and is not connected to the conference phone.
LEDs on the wireless microphone base indicate the connection status of the microphone, and an icon will also
be displayed on the conference phone screen. The LEDs and the display screen also indicate the mute status
of the wireless microphone.
If your conference phone is to be configured to use wireless extension microphones, you can access the
configuration menu from the conference phone by choosing Apps > Admin Settings > Wireless Microphones.
From this menu, the user can choose which channel to set in pairing mode, initiate the pairing process, and
set the wireless microphone range.
The wireless microphone range is used to set the baseband power and effective RF range for the wireless
microphones. There are three possible setting for the wireless microphone range:
• Low
• Medium
• High
If the conference phone is connected to another sound base in Linked Mode, the primary base station supports
one or two wireless microphones, or it supports one wired microphone. The secondary unit supports only one
wired microphone; a wireless microphone cannot be connected to a secondary Sound Base. You cannot mix
microphone kits: if you plan to connect a microphone to both sound bases, they must both be wired microphones.
Note Wired and wireless microphones cannot be used at the same time, and the wireless microphones have a higher
priority. Attempting to connect a wired microphone to a conference phone that has paired or connected channels
results in a warning to the user that the wired microphone is disabled. To solve this problem, unpair any paired
or connected wireless microphones before connecting a wired microphone.
