Installing the USB Audio Headset
To install the USB Audio Headset
1 If you have a two-piece headset cord, connect the coiled lower cord to the headset cord with
the Quick Disconnect connector. Ensure the Quick Disconnect is securely fastened.
If you have a one-piece headset cord, go to the next step.
2 Connect the headset cord to the RJ9 jack, or mini jack, on the adaptor.
3 Connect the USB cable to the headset adaptor and to one of the USB jacks on the back of your
PC or USB hub.
4 The first time the headset adapter is plugged in, there is a delay while the Windows operating
system configures the device and locates appropriate driver software. During the installation
you can be prompted to supply the original Windows CD ROM so that the Windows operating
system can locate drivers.
5 After you have installed the USB headset adapter, you must use the IP Softphone 2050
Configuration Utility to select ‘USB Audio Device’.
USB FAQ
• My computer doesn't have USB, can I use an add-on USB card?
The computer must have a USB connector. The USB Headset has not been tested on USB add
on or upgrade cards. Performance or operation is not guaranteed of these cards.
• I don't have enough USB ports available, can I use a USB hub?
The USB Headset has been tested successfully behind a variety of USB hubs. It is not practical
to test on all, but no issues have been uncovered on the ones that have been tested. For best
results, use powered hubs.
Optional In-Use indicator (not provided with kit)
A 2.5mm output jack is provided next to the USB connector for activation of a visual in-use
indicator such as the 1127P Desktop Visual Alerter (Algo Communication Products Ltd)
Note: Not all models of the USB Headset Adapter have the In-Use Indicator output jack.
