It lets administrators and users control the volumes of various system and application sounds using five profiles: *Normal*, *Loud*, *Soft*, *Silent*, and *Personal*. By default, all profiles are enabled; the administrator can disable any profile, which is then hidden from the user. {% hint style="info" %} **Why do I see both SoundStage and SoundStage+** SoundStage+ replaces the original SoundStage app. Both the older app and its replacement are shown in the Applications list, in case you are administering phones that haven’t been upgraded to SoundStage+ yet. The configuration options listed in this section also apply to the older app – however, the user interface on a phone using the older SoundStage will sometimes differ from what is noted here. {% endhint %} An administrator can configure each profile with minimum, maximum, and default volume levels for system sounds (alarm, ringer, media, and call) and app sounds (Web API, PTT, Batt Life). The user can change the volume level for the currently active profile only within the minimum and maximum ranges set by the administrator. The volume levels of the *Normal*, *Loud*, *Soft*, and *Silent* profiles can be fully or partially controlled by SAM or an EMM. If the *Personal* profile is enabled by the administrator, its volume levels are set by the user. Rules can be configured to apply a given profile at a specific time: for example, you can make a rule for the *Silent* profile to engage from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m., with the *Normal* profile operating from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. SoundStage+ provides NFC options to scan and associate NFC tags to a profile. When configured, profiles can be switched by tapping the phone to something like a badge on the door of a conference room — a handy way to switch to the Silent profile when entering a meeting. ## Upgrading to SoundStage+ from SoundStage {% hint style="danger" %} **Upgrade to SAM 1.9 or later before upgrading your phones to Versity 2.8/1.8 and SoundStage+** To avoid losing your previously configured SoundStage settings, upgrade to SAM 1.9 and configure SoundStage+ there *before* upgrading your phones to Versity 2.8/1.8 and SoundStage+. {% endhint %} *Follow these steps to retain your previously configured settings from SoundStage when upgrading to Versity 2.8/1.8 and SoundStage+:* 1. Upgrade to SAM 1.9 (or later). 2. Manually configure SoundStage+ in SAM 1.9 (or later), using your SoundStage settings as a reference. 3. Update your Spectralink phones to Versity 2.8 (1.8 for the V92 series). During the upgrade, Versity will automatically copy your SoundStage settings to SoundStage+. 4. In the Device List in SAM 1.9 (or later), select all devices. From the **Select actions** dropdown menu, choose **Re-apply config**. {% hint style="info" %} **If you use an EMM to manage your phones** You’ll need to whitelist SoundStage+ and delist SoundStage. Consult your EMM references or vendor for more information. {% endhint %} ## General Options ![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e04af4277639b7e3f12c391ecd1e949969213b23%2Fimage169.png?alt=media) ### Enable SoundStage+ **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ----------------------------- | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Disabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | Yes, for SoundStage+ profiles | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | | ### Enable Sound Profile Switch **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | Allows the user to switch between profiles | ### Persist Active Profile Notification **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ------------ | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | No | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | | ### Enable NFC Beam **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ------------ | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | | ### Enable Normal Profile **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ---------------------------- | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | Hidden from user if disabled | ### Enable Loud Profile **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ---------------------------- | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | Hidden from user if disabled | ### Enable Soft Profile **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ---------------------------- | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | Hidden from user if disabled | ### Enable Normal Profile **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ---------------------------- | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | Hidden from user if disabled | ### Enable Silent Profile **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ---------------------------- | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | Hidden from user if disabled | ### Enable Personal Profile **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Enabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | Allows the use of a personal profile configurable by the user; if disabled, it is hidden from the user | ### Switch Profiles Silently **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ------------ | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | Disabled | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | | ## Profile Options ### Profiles: Normal, Loud, Soft, Silent The administrator controls the parameters for the *Normal*, *Loud*, *Soft*, and *Silent* profiles. Each profile can be configured with minimum, maximum, and default volume levels for system sounds (alarm, ringer, media, and calls), and apps (Web API, PTT, and Batt Life). When a profile is selected on the phone, all of these settings are applied at once. The screenshot below shows the configuration options for the *Normal* profile, with all the settings at their defaults. The *Loud*, *Soft*, and *Silent* profiles provide the same configuration options, but have different default settings. When the profiles are configured in SAM, they are set for the user in the SoundStage+ app on the phone. The user can change a volume level on their phone only within the minimum and maximum range set by the administrator. ![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-34f10e431939dcc3705cf5bae86559b351faf964%2Fimage170.png?alt=media) ## Rules Options An administrator can define up to 5 rules. Rule 1 is reserved for the Charging profile, to be used when the phone is in the charger. Rules 2 through 5 are defined by setting a time for a specific profile to be applied. SoundStage+ changes profile behavior when a phone’s status changes: 1. When the phone is removed from the charger, the profile rule in effect for current time will be applied. 2. If the user changes the current profile manually or by NFC tap, this change will apply until the next scheduled profile rule becomes active. SoundStage+ will choose an active profile from the enabled rules whenever any of the following happens: 1. The app first starts (on boot, after force-stop and restart, etc.). 2. The phone is placed in the charger. 3. The phone is removed from the charger. 4. A new rule is enabled, or an existing enabled rule is modified. The screenshot below shows the default settings for Rules 1 and 2. Rules 3, 4, and 5 permit setting times for profiles, like Rule 2, but have different defaults. ![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-13c79cf222dad09c9abc8f97e184153ef7e41e18%2Fimage171.png?alt=media) ### Apply Rule *n* **Entry criteria** | | | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Type** | Radio button | | **Default** | False | | **Unique?** | No | | **Required?** | No | | **Level** | Any | | **Notes** | Rule 1 is reserved for the Charging profile, to be used while charging the phone.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.spectralink.net/amie-essentials/applications/soundstage-plus.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
