FEATURES AND ACCESSORIES
You cannot make calls between the Master and the Slave devices.
In a daisy chain, the Slave device follows the signal from the Master device to
enter Sleep mode or Active mode.
In a daisy chain, each phone is powered by its own PoE injector. The phone
powers the Smart Mics when these are connected. The power available from each
port is around 5 W.
Connection of the Slave devices to the Master phone
In a daisy chain, Konftel 800 disables all unused daisy chain ports during active
calls to provide for the best possible audio experience. That means, that the time,
when a Slave device activates, is dependent on the Master phone status as
follows:
• The Master phone is in the Idle state. When the user connects an expansion
microphone or a Slave phone to the Master phone, Konftel 800 immediately
detects it, and the connected device becomes directly available for operation.
• The Master phone has an active call. When the user connects an expansion
microphone or a Slave phone to the Master phone, the connected device
becomes available for operation only after the call ends.
The same approach is applicable when the user disconnects and reconnects
an expansion microphone or a Slave phone to the Master phone during an
active call. In this case, the connected device also becomes available for
operation only after the call ends.
