Kuando Busylight UC Alpha - Presence, Ringer & Notification 'busy' light indicator for headset Headset

The Kuando Busylight UC Alpha is an LED indicator light designed for office environments and unified-communications platforms. It provides a visible presence indicator for Microsoft Lync / Skype for Business and other softphone systems, helps prevent interruptions by signalling availability, and rings or flashes on incoming calls to reduce missed calls. The Alpha version features a compact design with a smart click on/off mounting suitable for monitors and laptops.

Advantages

The device offers three combined functions: visual presence indication, incoming-call ringing and flashing, and software hot-key call control. It supports adjustable ring volume and provides message-waiting alerts that flash periodically for missed calls or instant messages. The Busylight integrates with Lync/SfB to show real-time presence so colleagues can see if you are available, busy or on a call.

Suitable for

• Open-plan offices where visual presence reduces interruptions
• Workstations using Microsoft Lync / Skype for Business or other compatible softphone clients
• Call-centre or reception desks requiring clear incoming-call notification

How to use

Connect the Busylight UC Alpha to a host PC using the supplied USB connection and install the provided Busylight software for Lync/SfB integration.

During calls the light will change to the relevant presence state, and incoming calls will cause the device to ring and/or flash according to your configured preferences.

Recommendations

Place the Busylight within the line of sight of nearby colleagues for effective presence signalling, keep the software updated for best compatibility with Lync/SfB, and adjust ring volume to suit the local office noise level.
