FAQs

Do I need to install any software for the MDA100 QD switch?

No, the MDA100 QD switch is plug-and-play and does not require software installation for basic functionality. However, it is compatible with Plantronics Manager Pro for advanced management features if you have a subscription.

Can I use this switch with my existing non-Plantronics QD headset?

While designed for Plantronics/Poly QD headsets, it may work with other brands using a standard QD connector. For optimal performance and compatibility, using a Plantronics/Poly QD headset is recommended.

What is the length of the coil cable?

The MDA100 QD switch includes a ten-foot (approximately 3-meter) coil cable.

How do I know which audio source is currently active?

The MDA100 QD switch indicates the active audio source through its internal routing. There are no explicit visual indicators on the switch itself for the active source; users typically know based on which device they last selected.

What is the purpose of the RJ9 cable?

The RJ9 cable is used to connect the MDA100 QD switch to a traditional desk phone, enabling audio switching between the phone and your PC/Mac.

Can I use this switch for gaming?

While technically possible if your gaming setup involves a PC/Mac and a QD headset, the MDA100 QD switch is primarily designed for professional communication and call center environments. Its features like seamless switching and mute are optimized for business calls.

Troubleshooting

No audio or intermittent audio

Ensure all cables are securely connected. Verify the correct audio source is selected on the MDA100 QD switch. Test the headset directly with your PC/phone to rule out headset issues.

Microphone not working

Confirm the headset is connected to the MDA100 QD switch and the switch is connected to your computer. Check that the MDA100 QD switch is selected as the default microphone input in your computer's sound settings and your softphone application.

Cannot switch between audio sources

Ensure the MDA100 QD switch is powered via USB. Disconnect and reconnect all cables. Restart your computer and softphone application.

Device not recognized by computer
