An electronic hookswitch links a desk phone to the base of a wireless headset so the user can answer with a button on the headset, even away from the desk. Without one the call has to be answered by hand on the phone.

If a customer asks for an EHS for a known phone model, start with the adapters with confirmed compatibility: APA-24 for Alcatel, APC-43 and APU-76 for Cisco, APS-11 for Siemens and Aastra, APV-63 for Avaya, APP-51 for Poly Edge E and Polycom.

⚑ atlantis note

Before you offer this code

Ask for the exact phone model first and try to place it against an adapter with confirmed compatibility. Offer this code only when the model is not there and we have confirmed compatibility.

Why we do not estimate

The wrong EHS adapter is unsellable stock, it simply does not work and the customer returns it. Verifying takes little time and costs less than a claim.

Frequently asked questions

Which phones is it for?

Tell us the phone model and we will confirm compatibility before you order.

So which adapter should I pick?

By the phone brand. Compatibility is confirmed for the APA-24 for Alcatel, APC-43 and APU-76 for Cisco, APS-11 for Siemens, Unify, Aastra, Auerswald, Agfeo and Funkwerk, APV-63 for Avaya and APP-51 for HP Poly Edge E and Polycom.

Do I need an EHS at all?

With a wireless headset on a base yes, otherwise calls have to be answered by hand on the phone. On a corded headset an EHS serves no purpose.
