Why this is useful

Follow a specific desk-phone and headset combination through its cabling and remote answer controls. The value is seeing that a headset can have an audio path while still needing the correct hook-switch interface and phone setting to answer away from the desk. Compare the demonstration with Yealink’s model matrix before applying it to another Avaya handset.

Applicability

Version-specific

Avaya J189 with a supported Yealink WH62/WH63 base and EHS60 adapter. Compatibility depends on the exact hardware and firmware.

Keep in mind

  • The adapter connects to the base’s phone side; the PC port serves a different connection. Follow the adapter’s cable diagram.
  • Do not extend J189 behavior to every Avaya phone or to WH66/WH67.
  • Remote call control and microphone audio need separate verification.

Put it into practice

Confirm the phone, headset generation and adapter in the manufacturer matrix. Then test an incoming ring, answer, mute and end call from the headset, followed by normal handset operation.
