OBiBluetooth Service
The OBi1000 supports Bluetooth connectivity with either a headset or a mobile phone. While the OBi1062 has built-in
hardware support for this function, the OBi1032 requires the user to connect an OBiBT USB dongle to USB Port 2 (note:
OBiBT Must NOT be connected to USB Port 1). Other than that, the Bluetooth enabled features work similarly in both
models.
To pair the OBi1000 with a headset, the parameter
OBiBluetooth
::
AudioGateway
must be enabled. When connected
with a Bluetooth headset, the user can use the headset for calls just like a wired headset connected to the phone.
OBi1000 supports Headset Profile (HSP) Audio Gateway (AG) in this mode. To pair OBi1000 with a mobile phone, on the
other hand,
OBiBluetooth
::
AudioGateway
must be disabled. OBi1000 supports Hands-Free Profile (HFP) Hands-Free
Unit (HF) in this mode.
From a user perspective, pairing their device is done via phone screen from the Bluetooth menu item within the
Settings/Preferences app. The
Pairing Mode
option gives the choices
Pair with Headset
and
Pair with Mobile Phone
.
More information is available in the User Guide for the OBi1000 series.
To use OBiBluetooth Service on the phone, the pairing mode must be set to Pair with Mobile Phone (same as enabling
AudioGateway
) (otherwise the phone considers the service disabled). With that the Bluetooth-connected-mobile-
phone becomes a mobile service gateway for the phone to access the mobile service on the mobile phone. Like other
services, incoming call to the mobile phone is handled by the phone according to rules configured in
OBiBluetooth
::
InboundCallRoute
. By default, it is set up to ring just the phone, but you can have it ring the AA or
other numbers instead, or in addition.
The administrator may allocate a feature key configured with the Line Monitor function and bound to the OBiBluetooth
service, to monitor the status of the OBiBluetooth service. The LED color is solid orange if the mobile phone is not
connected, solid green if it is connected and idle, slow blinking green if it is on a call, and fast blinking red if it is ringing.
Incoming calls may be answered from the mobile phone or from the OBi1000. If it is answered on the mobile phone,
the OBi stops ringing; pressing the flashing Line Monitor key will “move” the call from the mobile phone to the
OBi1000. If the call is on the OBi1000, then pressing the soft key To Mobile will move the call back to the mobile phone.
Similar operations apply to outgoing calls over the mobile phone whether the call is initiated from the phone or from
the OBi1000. Similar operations to move the call between the mobile phone and the OBi1000 may also be initiated
from most mobile phones.
The administrator may also allocate a Call Key to bind to the OBiBluetooth service.
