Sorry, I know it's OT, but does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive headset that is compatible with the Cisco 7960? I've tried the headset off Norstar phones, doesn't seem to work with or without the amp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | natecars@natecarlson.com | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know that Plantronics stuff qualifies as inexpensive but I have been using Plantronics H headsets with the adapter at this link. http://store.yahoo.com/founderstelecom/dirconcabfor.html I have two of these cables and they work very well.

I found the same with lots of headsets and my 7940, but I've just plugged the headset from my Norstar system into the *handset* port on my and it works perfectly. It's not ideal but it'll do for now!

Cisco headset pinout is different from normal ones (grr) If it's just for you, (ie nothing too professional ;) you can snip the lead of an existing plantronics type headset and do some reordering - this will give you the necessary info (sorry - can't remember exactly how I did it): http://www.mml.uni-hannover.de/einhorn/headset/index_e.html If you're after something more professional then obviously one of the leads/adapters will be a better approach.

GN-Netcom has a nice little headset for about US $120. As to the pin-out, I believe that the headset port uses pins 1&4 instead of 2&3.

I use a Plantronics Supra H51 plugged straight into the headset port, and it works great. B.
