Handset Cord
- Every phone is being installed with a 6 ft. long handset cord, but 12ft. and 25ft. long cords are available
Mounting Cord
- New phones are being connected to the user’s existing data cable typically connected to their PC or docking station. A 10-foot long Cat 6 Ethernet cable is provided to each user for connecting their PC or docking station to their phone.
- Longer cables (14ft. or 25ft.) are available.
Headset
OIT will not be supporting existing headsets in use with AVAYA Phones on the new Cisco Phones.
- OIT will not be providing adapters for existing wired headsets and therefore will NOT be moving wired headsets to the new Cisco Phones during the conversion.
- Wireless headsets on AVAYA phones are not expected to work with the new Cisco Phones.
- OIT will not be providing any headsets (wired, wireless, or Bluetooth) to users.
- Existing headset users who still need or want a headset will need to procure a new headset solution that is compatible with their new Cisco phone.
Options for continued use of your headset:
- Buy an adapter to re-use their existing corded headset with their new Cisco phone. (Note: Wired headsets used with Cisco phones will no longer be supported by OIT.)
- Buy a new wired headset that is compatible with their new Cisco phone.
- Buy a Bluetooth headset that is compatible with their new Cisco phone.
- Buy a wireless headset (non-Bluetooth) that is compatible with their new Cisco phone.
- Users should contact their departmental purchasing agent to procure a compatible headset solution for their new Cisco phone from the CU Marketplace.
- Headsets for Call Center Agents: OIT will be working directly with Contact Centers to address this issue for their agents.
