Leitner wireless headsets with RingCentral softphone with call control


Setting up USB HID Device

To get the remote answering, you will need to be on a version of RingCentral that has this ability. So if you follow along here and don't see what you should, you may just need to update the firmware of RingCentral to get the extra bells and whistles. But here it is!

  1. Connect your Leitner headset to the computer using the provided USB cord or USB DECT dongle
  2. Open up the RingCentral app and click "Settings" in the left navigation bar
  3. Click on "Notifications and sounds"
  4. RingCentral notifications and sounds settings menu
  5. Head to the "Headset Support" section, and turn on "Headset Controls". A new window should pop up when activated
  6. Go to the bottom of the page to "Connect your HID headsets" and click "Connect" or click on the button to turn it blue
  7. RingCentral enabling call control settings
  8. If this is the first time doing this, confirm the request to connect your device to the RingCentral app


Once you get all this done, you should have remote answering up to 350 feet away, so give it a shot and have fun!
