Advanced settings
Microsoft Office Communicator dial tone enabled
If this feature is set to ON, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft Office Communicator will assume the user is trying to place a VOIP call and provide a dial tone.
If this feature is set to OFF, when a PC radio link is established, Microsoft Office Communicator will sit idle.
???Microsoft Office Communicator dial tone enabled??? can be set to ON or OFF.
Microsoft Office Communicator certified product:
Default setting = ON
Standard product: Default setting = OFF
Audio sensing enabled
Audio sensing is a special feature supported by Plantronics wireless devices that can detect audio signal at the USB port and automatically establish a PC radio link between the base and wireless headset without the user having to press the PC call control button. If the parameter ???Microsoft Office Communicator dial tone enabled??? is set to ON, every time the user presses the PC call control button, the Microsoft Office Communicator dial tone will be heard. However, the user may have pressed the PC call control button to listen to music etc., and does not want to hear the dial tone. In this case, if the user sets the ???Audio sensing enabled??? parameter to ???ON???, the radio link will be established automatically when any PC audio is detected at the USB port, thus eliminating the need for the user to press the PC call control button.
???Audio sensing enabled??? can be set to ON or OFF.
Microsoft Office Communicator certified product: Default setting = ON
Standard product: Default setting = OFF
