Compat for Busy Buddy & Cisco EHS cable

Updated by Hayden Everly on Jun 7, 2024

Executive Pro BusyBuddy busy light

We’ve noticed that, while most Busy Buddy set-ups use compat 1 and 3, Cisco EHS cables use compat 2 and 4.

This is true of Cisco EHS cables with both Leitner and Sennheiser headsets. Plantronics is currently untested..

Note: When set to compat 1 and 3, the EHS Cable and headset will work, but the Busy Buddy will not light up red.

To get both sound AND light, you’ll want to move the compat to 2 and 4.
