Just insatlled a headset adaptr on and old Merlin. After about an hour, it froze up, reset and it worked fine eversince. The question I have is thee is a little white switch on the back of the unit(I think it is labled "A"). Any idea what that switch is for? I originally tought it would help with side tone issues, but playing with it I noticed no change.
If your talking about the front of the KSU it's to put it in admin mode for programing.

No this switch is on the back of the headset adapter
Sorry, have no idea. The only headset adapters I've seen on a Merlin are gray about 2 1/2 inces square and have no switches on them.
I believe what you are looking at are white little switches that you would set to work with different phone systems, what make is the headset ? You may even have a little dial that you can turn to spec it in. Just a guess
i just looked at the cib on the merlin headset adapter and it shows no switch
are u looking at the plantronics m10 or 12
i think they have a switch and pot but i thought it was on the side under a plate
and the switch had to be moved to work on certain systems
there usually papers packed with it that talks about it
i found old instructions on adapter
on the back there is a small plastic screw
driver
on the instructions it says
if your phone looks like this set to 1
like this 2 etc and pictures of old round
handset is -1 a shape like merlin -2
a shape like newer euro partner or nortel -3
it also showed a small pot to adjust out going volume on your headset
this on the m10 -12 not the merlin headset
adapter covered above

This is an AT&T adapter. the front has a huge Dual (1/4"?) phono jacks for the headset cord. The cord itself has a volume control, that then goes to a curly cord then to a Plantronics quick disconnecet. This is a Huge box that plugs into the Aux port on the phone. Just found the model number - 502C
Looked it up on google. The gray ones I've put in hundreds of them and don't recall any switch. The black one I've never put in so it may have a switch. I didn't look too hard but might be if you put 502C specs or something similar in google you may find it. Sorry I know that's not much help.

Thanks, it is just a curiosity thing.
