microphone to pick up your voice. Just press the control button when you plug the phone headset in. If you
use this mode, the phone microphone automatically filters the background noise.

automatic Wi-Fi profile provisioning and certificate enrollment purposes. You cannot use the dongle to make
voice calls over the Ethernet. For more information on the USB port, see the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 8821
