Table 7: Preferences – Devices
Field Description
Headset Mode
Speaker
Microphone
Change these fields only if you want to override the devices that X-Lite automatically selected.
In both these fields, select the headset you are using.
The headset is the device that is usually used for audio out (the sound you hear) and audio in
(recording your voice). The only situation in which the headset is not used is when the Speaker
Phone button on the dialpad is pressed.
Therefore, unless you will always be using X-Lite in speakerphone mode, you must make a
selection here.
Select the headset in both the Speaker device field and Microphone device field.
HID Device If the selected headset device is a HID-compliant device, this field specifies that device. You can
click Setup in order to assign functions to the device. For example, you can set the green button so
that it answers an incoming call.
Speakerphone Mode
Speaker Change this field only if you want to override the devices that X-Lite automatically selected.
Make the appropriate choice:
• Select the device that you want to use for audio out (the sound you hear) when the Speaker
Phone button is pressed. Make sure you select a speaker device (not the headset).
• Select None if you do not have a speaker phone. The Speaker Phone button on the dialpad is
disabled.
Microphone Change this field only if you want to override the devices that X-Lite automatically selected.
Make the appropriate choice:
• Select the device that you want to use for audio in (recording your voice) when the Speaker
Phone button is pressed.
It can be any microphone: it does not have to be the microphone on the device you specified as
the speaker device. For example, it can be the microphone on your camera.
• Select None if you do not have a speaker phone. The Speaker Phone button on the dialpad is
disabled.
HID Device If the selected speakerphone device is a HID-compliant device, this field specifies that device. You
can click Setup in order to assign functions to the device. For example, you can set the green button
so that it answers an incoming call.
(If the speakerphone device is the same as the headset device and you have already configured the
device, there is no need to click Setup again.)
Other Device
Ring On Change this field only if you want to override the devices that X-Lite automatically selected.
The device where you want to hear the phone ringing: the headset, the speakerphone, or none.
