I have read all the wiki's and blogs and how to links about Bluetooth but so far no luck. I can confirm that CentOS5 sees my Bluetooth adapter and my cell phone. No Joy on Asterisk 1.4. The information out there is kind of confusing as there is a lot of outdated info sometimes referring to software no longer actively developed. What I think I have managed to conclude is that there is a Bluetooth module for Asterisk 1.4 that supposedly works but it's not part of any released branches so I will have to use a development branch. That is ok but I still can't get it to work. I want to use my Cell phone as a secondary trunk for a business so I need it to work reasonably well. Does it (if and when I get it working)? Is there a good (up to date relevant) how to somewhere?

Look in asterisk-addons/trunk for chan_mobile.c; set up your config file; mine looks like this: ; ; configuration file for chan_mobile ; [general] interval=30 ; Number of seconds between trying to connect to devices. ; The following is a list of adapters we use. ; id must be unique and address is the bdaddr of the adapter from hciconfig. ; Each adapter may only have one device (headset or phone) connected at a time. ; Add an [adapter] entry for each adapter you have. [adapter] id=encore address=00:11:C6:09:DF:99 [adapter] id=iogear_gbu221 address=00:02:49:07:FC:44 [adapter] id=asus address=00:02:72:27:92:8D ; The following is a list of the devices we deal with. ; Every device listed below will be available for calls in and out of Asterisk. ; Each device needs an adapter=xxxx entry which determines which bluetooth adapter is used. ; Use the CLI command 'mobile search' to discover devices. ; Use the CLI command 'mobile show devices' to see device status. ; ; To place a call out through a mobile phone use Dial(Mobile/[device]/NNN.....) or Dial(Mobile/gn/NNN......) in your dialplan. ; To call a headset use Dial(Mobile/[device]).
