HEADSET ADAPTER ADJUNCT
Description
The headset adapter adjunct provides an interface for connecting a headset to an associated
voice terminal. A headset plugged into the adapter is activated by switches on the adapter.
The terminal operator has the choice of using either the handset or the headset for handling
calls. Turning the headset on and off is equivalent to lifting and hanging up the handset.
Considerations
Use of a headset allows a voice terminal operator to carry on conversations with both hands
free for writing, typing, etc.
It is valuable adjunct for high traffic positions such as
attendant consoles.
Use of a headset does not affect normal voice terminal operations in any way.
Interactions
● Speakerphone Adjunct:
A voice terminal cannot have both a headset and a
speakerphone. These adjuncts plug into the same jack on the voice terminal.
Administration Requirements
None
Hardware Requirements
500A/502A Headset Adapters:
The 500A adapter (Figure 2-26) is designed for use with the 12-Button (7203M) MET voice
terminal. The 502A adapter, which is identical in appearance, is designed for use with
MERLIN (7300H Series) terminals (with the exception of the 5-Button and HFAI sets).
Most standard commercial headsets can be used with the adapters.
Each adapter has an “ON/QUIET” button, an
“OFF” button, a green indicator lamp, a jack
for a single headset, and two modular keyed jacks (4-wire and 8-wire). Each is equipped
with an 18-inch connecting cord. Optional cords are available in lengths of 4 and 14 feet.
The 500A Headset Adapter is powered locally by a 2012D Transformer, which plugs into a
115V ac receptacle.
Power from the transformer is applied to the voice terminal mounting
cord via a 400B2 adapter at the wall jack and conducted to the 500A on its connecting cord.
Refer to “Voice Terminal Adjunct Power Supplies” in Section 4 for additional information.
The 502A Headset Adapter does not require supplemental power, except when used with a
34-Button Deluxe, BIS, or BIS with Display voice terminal.
Detailed headset adapter connection information is provided in the following figures:
