At VoIP Supply we believe that Refurbished or used does not have to equal low quality. That is why we have put in great effort in our Refresh line of used IP phones and VoIP Equipment. We know that our used devices not only look great, but that they also work as good as new ones, and we take great pride in that.
Our Refurbished products come with a full 1-year, no questions asked warranty. If you buy any of our used products and for some reason you are not satisfied with it or something goes wrong within that first year, our Refresh guarantee will replace it or give you your money back. So what is there to lose? Absolutely nothing!

Did you know that the Jabra Engage 50 headsets are compatible with all softphone web clients? This headset is ideal for call centers and I can personally say the sound and audio on this headset is superb!
These headsets were built with a robust chip that allows for advanced functions, such as call analytics. Some other key features of this headset are that it has a 3-microphone system that helps to filter out background noises and breathing sounds. I really like the multi-color status lights on both earcups on the stereo version because no matter which direction you come from, people can see if I am on a call. What’s even cooler about this feature is that you can actually customize the busylight for specific needs.
Whether you are using this headset with an on-prem or cloud-based solution, you can be assured that it will work!
Have you had a chance to try out the Jabra Engage 50 series? What do you think? If you have additional questions about this headset or any Jabra products, leave a comment below or call us at 800-398-8647!
If you didn’t know, Snom’s M85 ruggedized DECT phone can be used with a Bluetooth headset! We absolutely love the fact that this DECT phone has this feature. It gives the user the ability to move around and be hands-free at the same time, which is important in certain situations such as manufacturing or retail stores. You are also able to pair multiple headsets to one M85, so we will also walk you through how to manage those headsets.
For this post we are going to walk you through enabling the feature and then how to actually pair the headset. By default the Bluetooth setting is disabled, so we will first need to enable this setting in order to begin the pairing process.
Enable Bluetooth Setting
Ok, now that we have that done, let’s work pairing your headset to the Snom M85!

There you have it! Now you are all ready to go! If you have additional questions please leave a comment below or reach out to us at 800-398-8647.
More and more of our customers are looking to integrate their systems to ensure that all of their devices are able to communicate with each other, especially in emergency situations.
One question that has been coming up quite frequently is what IP paging solutions are compatible with Cisco Call Manager. I am going to break down a couple of options that you can consider, but I also really encourage you to reach out to us, because our partnerships allow us to offer free design services to ensure you are getting everything you need.
To start, I would like to say that you are in luck because there are a couple of options depending on your situation. Our partners at Advanced Network Devices, Algo, CyberData and Valcom all have solutions that will work with Cisco.
So let’s start with Advanced Network Devices, their products are designed and built in the USA. They offer a wide range of IP Speakers, Buttons, Modules, Intercoms and Visual Alert solutions that are all compatible with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, as well as, mass notification software platforms like Singlewire InformaCast and Intrado Revolution. They are also a Certified Cisco Solutions Partner. Because of this partnership, you are able to easily connect their devices to your Cisco system and manage the devices from the UI (user interface) you are comfortable with. Advanced Network Devices also offers ClockWise Campus (PC-based) which allows full control of Advanced Network Devices IP PoE displays, speakers, and hubs. Check out Advanced Network Devices LLDP-MED Configuration with Cisco Switch guide!
Next, let’s talk about Algo Solutions and how they can integrate with your Cisco IP System. They are another Certified Solutions Partner with Cisco, which again makes them a great option to work with when you are considering a paging solution. Algo also offers a couple of cool products that can help you integrate a legacy analog paging system to a Cisco telephone system by using an Algo 8301 paging adapter.
CyberData is another great option! All of their products are multicast capable which is important when you are trying to integrate with Cisco phones. You will need to ensure your Cisco phones are running firmware version 7.5.4 or higher. CyberData offers a wide range of compatible devices and they have some great resources for you to reference when you are ready to start setting up your solution, such as a SIP Speaker Cisco Call Manager Server Setup Guide and much more!
Last but not least, let’s talk about Valcom! They offer a product of their own as well called the Valcom SIP Paging Adapter. This product allows you to connect to any PA System without the added expense of an ATA or Media Gateway. This product supports legacy analog systems as well as new systems. They are also a Certified Cisco Solutions Partner and offer additional resources for you to reference when implementing their solution.

As mentioned earlier, if you need assistance or have additional questions about any of these solutions reach out to our VoIP Experts, who combined have over 60 years of experience with these systems and solutions.
