Headset Buttons for Legend or Magix

Program  "Headset Status" and "Headset Hang-Up" buttons on an MLX or 4400 series Legend/Magix phone.

Status button must be programmed on a  button with a light next to it, so you know if the feature is turned on or off. The Hang-Up button can be programmed on any button, and usually where the user can locate it easily. Suggest at the top or bottom of a column.

Programming is done from the Console phone, or through the WinSPM software. Note that the buttons on the phone to be programmed do not necessarily match up with the buttons on the programming phone. Decide where the Headset buttons will go on the phone, then determine which button numbers they are.

How to program Headset Status.

When a Headset Hang Up button is programmed on a telephone, headset operation is automatically turned on. Programming a Headset Status button allows the user or operator to turn headset operation off and on manually. With headset operation on (green LED next to Headset Status button is on), the user or operator answers and makes calls with the headset. With headset operation off (green LED next to Headset Status button is off), the user or operator answers and makes calls with the handset. Two conditions are necessary for a telephone user to use the Headset Status feature:

* A Headset Hang Up button must be programmed.
* A Headset Status button must be programmed on the telephone or console, through centralized telephone programming.
