Updated by Hayden Everly on Aug 16, 2024

Sennheiser EHS for Siemens, Unify, and Aastra phones

Please note this EHS looks very similar to the regular Sennheiser connector cord. The EHS is a longer round cord, while the connector cord is a shorter flat cord.

  1. Plug the end with the green sticker under the Phone port in the cube
  2. Plug the other end into the Headset jack of the telephone
  3. Set compat to A and moved dipswitch #1 down (bottom right in back of cube)

Note: You may need to remove a plastic piece from the headset jack of the Mitel 6920 phone
