Using a USB Handset
You can use a USB handset with Cisco IP Communicator. See the table below for details.
Note You should assign a USB handset to handset mode; this configuration allows
Cisco IP Communicator to recognize if the handset is on-hook or off- hook, allowing you to
end a call by hanging up the USB handset, for example. For more information about this
assignment, see the “Understanding Audio Modes” section on page 39.
