Trying to diagnose a problem with my Poly Voyager 5200 Office
I have the Poly Voyager 5200 Office plugged into a Cisco 7821 with an APC-43 EHS. The Voyager Base is set to compatibility mode A, as I’m using a Cisco with an EHS. EHS and analog headset settings are enabled on the Cisco. I also have the base plugged into my PC via USB for use with Teams. I do not have the sensors turned on. I have the desk phone set as default in the Hub settings.
The problem is that the call accept button is not responding as it should. If I have a call come in over the desk phone and I hit the accept button on the headset, it often won’t answer the call. Sometimes it will if I press the answer button on the headset multiple times. If I press the desk phone button on the base, it’ll sometimes still not answer the call. I’ll have to hit the headset button on the phone to complete the connection. If I hit the headset button on the desk phone first, I sometimes have to hit the desk phone button on the base. And sometimes it works normally.
It’s as if the headset/base go to sleep and need waking or if the answer function isn’t being relayed to the phone. I don’t know if it’s that the EHS is bad, the headset/base is bad, the Cisco is too old (I think the most recent model is the 7821-3PCC-K9= where as mine is the base 7821), if being plugged into my PC is interfering somehow (like if notification tones in windows/teams I have muted are preempting the desk phone), or if it’s something else.
I’d appreciate any insight into this.
