[Asterisk-Users] OT: Softphone with Bluetooth support for *
I have seen some options for road warriors to connect a DECT phone to a SIP device or use a WIFI VOIP phone when travelling but I was wondering if it would be possible to use a soft phone and a standard bluetooth headset to connect to * Most newer laptops have bluetooth support built in and a bluetooth headset is lots cheaper than a WIFI VOIP phone, not to mention easier to carry! Has anyone ever tried such a setup?
I tried it with our idefisk softphone before, ( http://www.asteriskguru.com/tools/idefisk_beta.php ) with a nokia bluetooth headset, worked just fine. (dell lattitude d800 laptop with built in bluetooth). I just used it as an audio card. I know DIAX has support for the hangup button over bluetooth too, but it only works with 1 brand of phones. Greetings, Joachim.

Oh and diax can be found here: http://www.laser.com/dante/diax/diax.html * Using Bluetooth to control DIAX* You can use any Bluetooth enabled Ericsson or Sony Ericsson phone to control DIAX. The application was tested using SonyEricsson T68i and T610, but it must work with any other SonyEricsson phone too, even over a serial cable connection. NOTE: The feature is not compatible with any other Bluetooth phone from other manufacturers because of the incompatibility at the protocol level.

For this a BT headset can be used in the same time. - DIAX cannot control (yet) the bluetooth headset for on/off hook signals. You must connect the BT headset manually before using DIAX. Hope that some of those limitations will be eliminated in a future version of DIAX. Best regards, Dan
