ADTRAN Phones Remote Answering With Sennheiser or Plantronics

On ADTRAN phones that have "load detect" (LD) electronic hookswitch control, wireless headsets can remote answer without an EHS cable or a lifter. BUT, you wont be able to hear the phone ring in the headset on incoming calls unless you add the appropriate electronic hookswitch accessory.

With these accessories, you will have remote answering capabilities AND ring detection.

Option #1: Sennheiser Electronic Hookswitch for Shoretel Phones. You can find it here!

Option #2: Plantronics RD-1-POD Ring Detector. Found here :)
