Olea Kiosk Handset Configuration

This document provides wiring and configuration instructions for an OLEA kiosk with a attached handset for calling conversations.

The handset accessory includes a switch that controls power to the kiosk base speakers based on cradle position. 

  • Handset OFF cradle: Power to the kiosk base speakers is cut. Audio routes to the handset earpiece, and the handset mouthpiece becomes the active microphone. 
  • Handset ON cradle: Power to the kiosk base speakers is restored. Audio routes back to the kiosk base speakers, and no microphone is available. 

This article covers the components, wiring, and PC/ALICE configuration required to set this up correctly. 

Components

  • Olea Kiosk base with speakers

  • Handset attachment

  • Audio Amp

  • Lenovo PC with one headphone jack

Below is a diagram of the necessary cables and cable splitters needed for this configuration to work correctly.
