JPL Gateway Software User Guide
Introduction
JPL Telecom’s Gateway for Windows/Mac is a client application that allows users to control the settings on their JPL wired and wireless headsets with softphone call control, firmware updates, and more.

What is JPL Gateway?
With JPL wired and wireless headsets, the user can enjoy remote call control with Microsoft Teams out-of-the-box, that is, without having to install the JPL Gateway software. JPL wired and wireless headsets can interwork call control, mute, and ring detection with the Microsoft Teams softphone.
Using JPL wired and wireless headsets with other softphones like Cisco Jabber, Avaya One-X Agent, etc., without installing the JPL Gateway means they will only work as an external audio device.
To use JPL wired and wireless headsets for remote call control with other softphones, the JPL Gateway software must be installed.
