Overview of HP Poly APP-51 Electronic Hook Switch Cable (85Q60AA) | New

The HP Poly APP-51 Electronic Hook Switch Cable (85Q60AA) was designed EHS system that allows for complete remote call control by connecting suitable Poly wireless headsets to specific desk phones. This electronic hook switch cable offers a clear, dependable interface so customers can answer, end and switch calls straight from their headset buttons rather than depending on a mechanical handset lifter. Employees can roam freely throughout the workplace while still having complete control over incoming and active calls on their desk phone, resulting in a more seamless UC experience. The HP Poly APP-51 EHS cable removes the clutter and possible sources of failure associated with mechanical lifters, making it ideal for professional office, contact center and hybrid work environments. It transmits signaling that electrically mimics going off-hook and on-hook between the base of a compatible Poly/HP wireless headset system and compatible desk phone models. This implies that there is no need to physically lift the handset when a user hits the call button on the headset because the phone goes off-hook and the call is answered. In order to provide dependable interoperability and maintain crucial call features like ring indicator and remote answer, the APP-51 is tuned for particular phone families, often including supported Avaya/Alcatel and comparable systems. This connection is an inexpensive addition that greatly improves the user experience for companies that are standardizing on wireless headsets for their desk phone fleet.
