Use your computer like
a speakerphone to place
and answer calls
|
Make sure that the Speaker button is lit so that Cisco IP Communicator
operates in speakerphone mode. Unlike other modes, speakerphone mode
provides echo suppression. You can toggle speakerphone mode on and off by
clicking the Speaker button or by entering the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + P.
By default, speakerphone mode is active. This means that many of the
actions you take to place or answer a call (such as using a speed-dial button
or a softkey) automatically trigger speakerphone mode.
Note If you have an analog headset plugged in to the computer, you cannot
hear audio through the computer speakers in speakerphone mode.

Switch to the
speakerphone during a
call
|
Click the Speaker button or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + P. If you were
using a handset before switching, turn it off or hang it up.
|
Use the computer
speaker as a ringer to
alert you to incoming
calls
|
Make sure that your sound card is assigned to the ringer mode and that you
have not muted the computer speaker. If you plug an analog headset into your
computer, the ringer is audible only from the headset speakers.
|
Use AutoAnswer with
speakerphone mode
|
Click the Speaker button to place, answer, and end calls, to open and close
lines, and to switch from other audio devices to speakerphone mode.
Because speakerphone mode is active by default, you do not need to keep the
corresponding button lit as you do for headset mode.
