Polycom IP 300 Series and Hookswitches/EHS - A Couple of Things

Updated by Hayden Everly on Mar 6, 2023

The Polycom Soundpoint IP 320, 321, 330 and 331 all require a Female RJ-9 to Male 2.5mm adapter. You may have the adapter (it has since been discontinued) which is the one needed to make EHS work with phone.

IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE THE ADAPTER your best bet will be an ORL12 handset lifter since the adapter has been discontinued and we have not found a replacement.
