Hey guys!
I've experienced that both on my 7970, 40 and 41 that the headset port is inactive.
Is this a default setting, and can it be changed?

Hi there,
That seems quite odd for sure. There is a spot on the IP Phone
configuration page (under Product Specific Configuration) where the
Headset port can be disabled. It may also be the type or Headset you
are using. Let us know
Cheers!

Hi, I am experiencing the exact same problem that brunstadnett was having, with the exact same behavior. I just received my 26716-01 yesterday, so I am assuming that it is the "new type". How can I tell what type is it?
Thanks for your help.

No it is not a system default setting; however, it may be checked on the BAT template that you used to import the phones.
The setting is a checkbox in the Product Specific Configuration Layout section of the device configuration and is aptly named Disable Speakerphone and Headset.

I'm testing both with a Plantronics wired headset and the handset that comes with the phone.
The setting in the menu on the phone says that the headset is enabled.
Also the setting "Disable Speakerphone and Headset" is not checked in CCM.
Shouldn't it work fine now? But it doesn't.

Have you confirmed that the headset part number you are using is compatible with the Cisco phone? Sometimes headsets have manufacturer-specific part numbers. Contact Plantronics to be sure.
After that do a swap test: Find a headset that works and try the new headset on a known-working phone.
I can also give the generic answer here: Try updating the phone firmware. If you connect a known working and compatible headset, press the headset button, and don't get audio on the headset port it is either a phone firmware or hardware defect.

Ok. But I've never experienced it to work on any headset.
I tested with the handset - shouldn't it work??

Hi there,
The one part you may need which is required for all "corded" Plantronics Headsets
(to go from Headset Jack on Cisco phones to the "Quick Disconnect" on Headset) is;
Part#Amp-26716-01
Without this cord they will never work
Hope this helps!
Rob
PS:The Cisco handset will NOT work in the Headset jack

I got this cable installed. The headset works fine in the handset port, but not in the headset port.

Hi there,
Hmmmmmmmmmmm!!
What exact model/models of Corded Plantronics headsets have you tried. We've
used many (H171, H141,H291 and others)
What happens when you press the headset button on the IP Phone with a headset
attached?? Can't hear, can't be heard...nothing.
Cheers!

I've tried with
When I press the headset button, nothing can be heard in the headset, and the mic will not pick up any sound.
I've also tried with the CS60.

Hey there,
Can we look at this part for a moment
Part#Amp-26716-01
With the extractor tip (on jack) facing towards you the wire colors should be
(from left) red,black,yellow, green. Is this what you see??
As for the CS60, did you try the different Compatibilty wheel settings
on the headset base/charger??
Cheers!

The wirering order in the RJ9/11 jack, is what you wrote.
Both the wired headset and the CS60 works fine in the handset port, but not in the headset.

Hey guys! I've no found out what the problem was!
The 26716-01 I had was an old type. I tested now with a brand new, and it worked fine!
Thanks for all your help and patience!

Hi there,
Good work my friend!
I had been thinking about this since yesterday wondering about
what the **** this issue could be. Now we know
Of course this brings to mind the old troubleshooting adage;
"start with the simple and work towards the complex"
I guess we should have started out with this yesterday. LOL
Cheers!
