Audio is a key component in your Unified Communications (UC) implementation. To help enable UC voice and audio device adoption success, Plantronics has developed the Smarter Working UC Toolkit — a handy online portfolio of best practices, IT tools, and end-user training — based on the input, experiences, and collective wisdom of customers.  Devices included in this portfolio are the Blackwire family of corded USB headsets – e.g. Blackwire C320(-M) and C620(-M), the Savi W440 and Savi W700 wireless series, the Voyager Pro UC Bluetooth UC headset, and the Calisto 800 series UC Speaker Phone

The UC Toolkit features Video Setup Guides for each device variant for a selection of UC communication tools from Cisco, Avaya, IBM, Microsoft and others. This is meant for both individual users as well as IT departments who want to download the videos for distribution to in-house users.  Click here to link to the Video Setup Guides download page.

Connect the MDA200 to the desk phone using the Telephone Interface Cable supplied with the MDA200, as illustrated in the diagram to the left. This configuration requires that you answer/end calls by lifting/replacing the phone handset. For phones with a dedicated headset port, plug the Telephone Interface Cable into that port, and manage calls via the Headset or Handsfree button on the phone.
