EPOS SDW 10 HS — Diagnostics (Audiobox V2 and standalone connection)
This article covers two configurations: the headset used through the Hub Receiver of an Audiobox V2, and the headset used on its own, with its dongle plugged directly into a workstation (standalone connection). The LED reference table and FAQ at the end apply to both cases.
Before you start
- The headset is charged (30 minutes minimum on the base if in doubt).
- The USB dongle of the matching color is properly inserted, with no play.
- On Audiobox V2: the Corebox V1 must run at least Producer 3.13.1.X and RoomManager 1.1.4.0 (1.4.1.2 for automatic headset configuration). Below these versions, contact support before any further check.
- Order to respect everywhere (dongles, pairing, charging): Blue – Pink – Yellow – Purple – Green.
| Symptom | Section to consult |
|---|---|
| No sound on a headset connected via the Audiobox | Part 1 |
| A dongle on the Hub Receiver stays off | Part 1 |
| Pairing fails on the Audiobox | Part 1, then Part 2 to isolate the cause |
| Headset tested on its own, without the Audiobox | Part 2 |
Part 1 — Diagnostics on Audiobox V2

Headset not detected or no sound
- Check that the Audiobox is powered on (ON/OFF) and that the "audiobox" cable (green) is connected at both ends.
- Check that the Hub Receiver is powered and switched on (Power button) and that the dongles show a steady blue light.
- Remove and reinsert the affected dongle, in the order blue, pink, yellow, purple, green.
- Check the USB A/B cable: USB B → Hub Receiver, USB A → Corebox (USB port 1).
- Take the headset off its base; if it stays off, hold ON/OFF for 3 seconds until you hear "Power ON".
- If there's still no sound, redo the pairing (see below).
The Audiobox charging base carries no data; it is used for charging only.
Pairing fails
- Take the headset off its base and confirm it is switched on.
- Press the button on the matching dongle: the light should flash blue and red.
- Double-click the headset's ON/OFF button to check it is flashing blue; otherwise, hold ON/OFF for 3 seconds ("Power ON").
- Press ON/OFF and Mute at the same time. Wait for "Gap Pairing", then "Pairing Successful".
- Place the headset back on its base and repeat for each remaining headset, in the order indicated.
Pair one headset at a time: two dongles left in pairing mode at once can pick up the wrong headset. If pairing keeps failing for a single headset while the other four pair normally, test it in standalone connection (Part 2) to isolate the fault.
Headset overview

Part 2 — Diagnostics in standalone connection

The dongle is plugged directly into the USB port of a workstation (computer, Corebox), bypassing the Hub Receiver. This isolates the headset/dongle pair from the rest of the installation.
- Unplug the dongle from the Hub Receiver if applicable, then plug it into a free USB port on the workstation to be tested.
- Check that the dongle's light turns steady blue after a few seconds.
- Take the headset off its base; if it doesn't turn on, hold ON/OFF for 3 seconds ("Power ON").
- If the light never turns steady blue, redo the pairing: press the dongle button (flashing blue/red), then ON/OFF + Mute together on the headset, until "Gap Pairing" then "Pairing Successful".
- Test sound and microphone directly on the workstation, independently of any Medinbox software.
- Test successful: the fault lies with the Hub Receiver, the USB A/B cable, or the Corebox software version → go back to Part 1.
- Test still negative: likely a hardware fault in the headset or dongle → contact Medinbox support.
LED reference table
| Component | Light observed | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dongle | Steady blue | Headset paired and connected | None — normal operation |
| Dongle | Off | Not powered or poorly inserted | Reconnect the dongle; check Hub Receiver power |
| Dongle | Flashing blue/red | Pairing mode active | Complete pairing on the matching headset |
| Headset | Off on the base | Switched off or discharged | Hold ON/OFF for 3 s; recharge if needed |
| Headset | Flashing blue | On, not paired | Start pairing (ON/OFF + Mute) |
| Headset | "Pairing Successful" prompt | Pairing successful | Place the headset back on its base |
FAQ
The dongle stays steady blue but no sound gets through? Check the USB A/B cable between the Hub Receiver and the Corebox, then the Producer and RoomManager versions.
Does the color order matter? Yes, both on the Audiobox and in standalone connection: blue, pink, yellow, purple, green.
The headset works on its own but not on the Audiobox, what now? Check the Hub Receiver, the USB A/B cable, and the Corebox software versions before contacting support.
