Poly EHS module APU-76 USB adapter for CS500/Savi 700 series content_copy

The Poly APU-76 is an electronic hookswitch (EHS module) in the form of a USB adapter, developed for connecting headsets from the CS500 and Savi 700 series to PC systems. The device enables the use of these headsets via USB connection and provides call control through button presses on the headset, which is particularly useful in office and call center environments with softphone solutions. The device is black in color and compatible with Microsoft Skype for Business, with plug-and-play functionality allowing immediate use without additional configuration.

Applications

The APU-76 is primarily designed for use in office environments where employees use softphones on PC systems for telephony. It is used to connect headsets from the CS500 and Savi 700 series, originally designed for analog or digital telephone systems, to PC systems. Call control via button press enables efficient communication, as calls can be answered, ended, or initiated directly through the headset without the user needing to interact with the computer or keyboard. Compatibility with Microsoft Skype for Business is a key application, as this platform is widely used as a communication solution in many enterprises.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device functions as a USB adapter, making the headsets USB-capable. The connection to the system telephone is disabled, as the electronic hookswitch function operates only via the USB interface and not through the telephone network. Call control is performed via button presses on the headset, enabling functions such as call answering, ending, and redialing to be managed directly through the headset. Plug-and-play compatibility with Microsoft Skype for Business means no additional software installation or configuration is required once the device is connected.

Technology Explained Simply

The APU-76 operates as an electronic hookswitch, converting signals from button presses on the headset into electronic commands transmitted via the USB interface to the PC. These commands are recognized by softphones such as Microsoft Skype for Business and executed accordingly. The USB connection establishes the communication link between the headset and the PC, making the headset’s functions usable for PC telephony. The technology is designed to work without additional drivers or software, simplifying setup.

Compatibility and Accessories

The device is specifically developed for headsets from the CS500 and Savi 700 series. It enables the use of these headsets with PC systems, particularly with softphones. Compatibility with Microsoft Skype for Business is explicitly stated, with plug-and-play functionality allowing immediate use without additional settings.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by connecting the APU-76 to a USB port on the computer. The device is directly connected to the headset, thereby disconnecting the link to the system telephone. Setup requires no additional steps, as plug-and-play functionality enables immediate use. Call control via button press is available immediately upon connection.

Operational Advantages

The APU-76 provides a simple way to enable existing headsets from the CS500 and Savi 700 series for use with PC systems. Call control via button press increases efficiency in daily work, as no additional actions on the computer are required. Plug-and-play compatibility with Microsoft Skype for Business reduces setup time and minimizes technical barriers. The device is compact and lightweight (weight: 64.38 g), facilitating handling and transport. The black color blends well with most office environments.
