Well, I finally got around to trying out the new chan_mobile channel for Asterisk. To start off, I’ll explain my hardware in use. My phone is a Nokia 6133. I’m using the trunk versions of Asterisk and asterisk-addons (which contains the chan_mobile module). My bluetooth “host” adaptor is a Trendnet TBW-105UB.
The first step (besides compileing Asterisk) was to pair my phone with my Asterisk server. This proved to be quite difficult. I am using Ubuntu Dapper for my OS. Here is my hcid.conf in case anyone had the same troubles I had. Once paired I started Asterisk. I used the mobile search command to find the Bluetooth Address and port for my phone. I then exited Asterisk, added my phone to mobile.conf and restarted Asterisk. Lo and behold, it worked. Asterisk was the “headset” for my phone. (more…)
