Application Notes for Configuring Dasan Electron Headsets
from JPL Europe with Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphones
using a DA-30 Cord – Issue 1.0
Abstract
These Application Notes describe the configuration steps for provisioning the Dasan Electron
headsets using a DA-30 cord from JPL Europe with the 1100 Series IP Deskphones from
Avaya to ensure full interoperability.
Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through DevConnect compliance
testing and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DevConnect
Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes
These Application Notes describe the configuration steps for provisioning Dasan Electron
headsets from JPL Europe using a DA-30 cord with Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphones. JPL
Europe design and develop professional headsets for the Corporate, Financial, Health,
Government, Educational, Industrial, Hotel & Hospitality and Contact Centre market sectors.
2. General Test Approach and Test Results
The interoperability compliance testing evaluates the ability for the combination of headset and
chord from JPL Europe to connect to the Avaya 1100 series IP Deskphones and allow users of
the deskphone to speak and listen when a call is either made or received, i.e.,
path in both directions. The type of calls made included calls to voicemail, to local stations, and to
the PSTN.
DevConnect Compliance Testing is conducted jointly by Avaya and DevConnect members. The
jointly-defined test plan focuses on exercising APIs and/or standards-based interfaces pertinent
to the interoperability of the tested products and their functionalities. DevConnect Compliance
Testing is not intended to substitute full product performance or feature testing performed by
DevConnect members, nor is it to be construed as an endorsement by Avaya of the suitability or
completeness of a DevConnect member’s solution.
Avaya’s formal testing and Declaration of Conformity is provided only on the headsets/handsets
that carry the Avaya brand or logo. Avaya may conduct testing of non-Avaya headset/handset to
determine interoperability with Avaya phones. However, Avaya does not conduct the testing of
non-Avaya headsets/handsets for: Acoustic Pressure, Safety, Hearing Aid Compliance, EMC
regulations, or any other tests to ensure conformity with safety, audio quality, long-term
reliability or any regulation requirements. As a result, Avaya makes no representations whether a
particular non-Avaya headset will work with Avaya’s telephones or with a different generation
of the same Avaya telephone.
Since there is no industry standard for handset interfaces, different manufacturers utilize
different handset/headset interfaces with their telephones. Therefore, any claim made by a
headset vendor that its product is compatible with Avaya telephones does not equate to a
guarantee that the headset will provide adequate safety protection or audio quality.

The interoperability compliance testing includes testing on the latest version of Avaya 1100
Series IP Deskphones. The following three headsets from JPL Europe were tested and these are
sold using different names depending on the country. All of these names are included in each
bullet point below.
Figure 1 shows the network topology during compliance testing. The Dasan Electron headsets
are connected via the headset port using a DA-30 RJ-9 modular plug supplied by JPL Europe to
the Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphones.

It is assumed that a fully functioning Avaya Communication Server 1000E (CS1000E) is in place
with the necessary licensing. For further information on the configuration of CS1000E please see
Section 9 of these Application Notes.
5.1. Configuring Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphones
It is assumed that the Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphones, UNIStim and SIP, are all configured.
For further information on how to configure these deskphones please see Section 9 of these
Application Notes.
Note: An example of a configured 1140E UNIStim and SIP deskphone is included in the
Appendix of these Application Notes.
5.2. Setting the Audio Path on Avaya 1100E Series IP Deskphones
The OnHook Default Path option allows the use of the headset or the Handsfree feature to
operate the IP Deskphone while it is on-hook. To enable the OnHook Default Path,
1. Press the Services key.
2. Select Telephone Options.
3. Select OnHook Default Path.
4. Press the Up/Down navigation keys to highlight Headset Enable.
5. Press the Select soft key to save the default path and return to the Telephone Options
menu.

There are several RJ-9 cords available to connect the Dasan Electron headsets to the Avaya
telephones depending on the telephone in question. For the Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphones
there are two possible cords that are compatible but the suggested cord for use is the DA-30
Cord.
6.1. Connecting to Avaya 1100E Series Telephones
In connecting the Dasan Electron headsets to the Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphones there
suggested cord to use is the DA-30 in position 7. The DA-30 offers 8 switch positions which can
be changed by selecting position 1 – 8 along the side of the cord. After compliance testing it was
agreed that position 7 proved the best for audio and speech. The SK-A10 offered similar results
as the DA-30 in position 7.
7. Verification Steps
The following steps can be taken to ensure that connections between the Dasan Electron headsets
and 1100 Series IP Deskphones are achieved.
1. When the headset is connected to the telephone set press the HEADSET key on the
telephone set. The headset LED should light up and dial tone should be heard.
2. To answer a call press the headset key when the telephone is ringing again the headset
LED should be lit.
