Phone Calls with Intelligent Proximity
When you use Bluetooth, you can pair your mobile device (phone or tablet) to your desk phone.
After you pair and connect the mobile device, your phone displays an additional phone line,
which is your mobile line (your mobile phone number). You can place and receive calls on this
mobile line from your desk phone. This ability to use the mobile line on your desk phone is
called Intelligent Proximity.
Mobile Devices and Your Desk Phone
If you have a mobile phone, you can connect the mobile device to your 8851 desk phone. This
connection allows you to make and answer phone calls on either the mobile device or the desk
phone. (
Note
: Do not pair two or more Cisco IP Phone 8841 or 8851 desk phones.)
Pair a Mobile Device with Your Desk Phone
After you pair your mobile device to your desk phone, the phone connects to the mobile device
when the device is in range. It disconnects from the mobile device when the device is out of
range.
If you have both a Bluetooth headset and a mobile device connected, you cannot use the
Bluetooth headset to answer the audio from the mobile device.
After the mobile device and phone are connected, you can save your mobile contacts and call
history on your desk phone. (
Note
: Make sure that your mobile device has Bluetooth turned on
and that it is discoverable. Check the documentation included with your mobile device if you
need help.)
