I am trying to use a Plantronics CS70N headset with my Mitel 5215 IP Phone. I have the headset plugged into the headset jack on the back on the phone, but there is no head set button. Is there some configuring I need to do before I can use my headset.

A headset button can be added to the phone that when pushed will activate the headset port on the phone. Once added the light will light when headset mode is active. This button can be added through the multi-line set key assignment for in the mitel. I would also suggest added a release button at the same time as the release key would be used to disconnect a call in headset mode.

Reboot phone and hold down the down arrow key. This will put you in the programming of the phone. Use * and # to toggle thru until you see default . Then follow screen to save and reboot

If the Plantronics CS70N wireless headset is plugged into the headset jack on your phone, you will need to push the headset button on the phone and then the call/control button on the wireless headset.

Good luck from Headsets Direct!

I'm not finding manufacturer detail on this headset, only sales via Amazon, and it's dicey info at that.

So,I'm not certain this headset is compatible.  The only Mitel approved headsets are the Plantronics Polaris models.  These headsets fit into the headset port.  Such headsets require a headset button to be programmed and enabled on the phone to work.  When the phone rings, you will have to press the ringing button, to hang up, you will have to press the cancel button.

Other headset models may work, but require them to be plugged into the handset port and the existing handset will have to be plugged into it's unit.  Such units will require lifting the handset to answer the call and hang it up when completed.  Some such units have an optional lift kit.

I personally use a Plantronics Polaris "in the ear" model.  Plantronics web site has a config guide that will help you select a headset.

I'm sorry for being long on my answer here...
The bad thing here is that the CS60 is not a Mitel approved/supported headset. The only headsets that are approved for Mitel Superset or Mitel IP telephones are the Plantronics Polaris model.

BUT many other headsets do work with Mitel telephones. Since they are not "supported" by Mitel, you should contact the headset manufacturer for configuration guidance. Some have dip switches, or dials that need to be in certain positions to work with certain telephone models. This can be different from one phone to another.

Plantronics web site and their support people should be able to guide you to configuring this headset properly for each model phone.


How is the headset and handset connected? It sounds like the CS60 is connected to the handset port of the phone and the handset is connected to the CS60. When you go off hook with the handset, it sends the signal to the CS60 and depending on the switch on the CS60, it will send the signal to either the handset or the headset.

OR

The CS60 is connected to the handset port and the handset is connected to the headset port. To make the headset port work, you must have the CS60 connected to the headset port and the handset connected to the handset port. Set the phone to Headset mode.

You need to have a Headset button added and press it... or dial the headset on code. Contact your system admin or vendor to have the button added or to get the codes. This is something you can't do from the phone.

No idea. Contact Plantronics for a headset. This phone will support a variety of headsets. www.plantronics.com.

You can find allot of headsets that will work by googling the set type and the word headset. But I think what you are looking for is found i the programming of your phone system. In the class of service you can have the option for silent monitoring turned on and in feature access code add a code for Monitoring. Yes you are correct this is something for your Mitel vendor complete but i'm sure they would be happy to help.

Dont plugged into the headset jack. Like Nortel, connect headset line with phone base unit in receiver jack and plugged your phone receiver wire into headset or plantronic base unit. This will work. I am sorry, my english is not too good but hope you understand it now. But the pully is not working properly with IP501..I mean it is not good to pickup IP501 receiver and put it back right place.

A cordless plantronics headset will work. A plain bluetooth headset that you use on you cell phone will not work. Mitel sells a new phone with a cordless headset and handset it doesn't use bluetooth it uses dect (europeon version) much but,
