Features
Headset Options
For a user or operator to be able to use a headset, a Headset Hang Up button
must be programmed (centralized telephone programming) for an MLX telephone
or MLX DLC.
Headset users press the programmed Headset Hangup button after each call. If
the user does not press the Headset Hangup button, new calls still arrive
correctly, but the LED status of the extension (as shown on other extensions and
DSSs) is not updated.
A Headset Hang Up button is not needed (and cannot be programmed) on a
QCC.
To give control of headset/handset operation to an MLX telephone user or MLX
DLC operator who has a Headset Hang Up button, a Headset Status button can
also be programmed, as described in the next section. On a telephone or console
with a Headset Hang Up button but without a Headset Status button, headset
operation is always on.
NOTE:
If an MLX telephone or MLX DLC has a Headset Status button and/or a
Headset Auto Answer button in addition to a Headset Hang Up button, the
Headset Hang Up button can be removed through centralized programming
without removing the Headset Status or Headset Auto Answer button. If
either of these features is on, the green LED next to the button stays on.
However, the telephone or console is no longer in headset operation; and
neither the Headset Status nor the Headset Auto Answer button has any
effect, whether on or off, until a Headset Hang Up button is reprogrammed
for the extension.
Headset Status
When a Headset Hang Up button is programmed on an MLX telephone or MLX
DLC, Headset Status is automatically turned on. Programming a Headset Status
button also allows the user or operator to turn headset operation off and on
manually. With headset operation on (green LED next to Headset Status button is
on), the user or operator answers and makes calls with the headset. With headset
operation off (green LED next to Headset Status button is off), the user or
operator answers and makes calls with the handset.
Two conditions are necessary for an MLX telephone user or MLX DLC operator to
use the Headset Status feature:
A Headset Hang Up button must be programmed, as described in the
previous section.
A Headset Status button must be programmed on the telephone or
console, through either extension programming or centralized telephone
programming.
