A.3.9 Disabling Handset Mode
Administrators can disable handset mode parameter 'voip/handset_mode/enabled' whose
default is enabled.
Some call centers don't want agents to work with any device other than headsets. In this
case, their administrators can change the parameter default to disabled.
Note: Some call centers don't even connnect the handsets to the phones. In this case,
even though the handsets are not physically connected to the phones, admininstrators
should disable the new parameter.
To disable handset mode:
Use the table as reference.
