asterisk users - Mar 2006 - Bluetooth headset in handsfree modewith SJPhoneor X-lite

Hi,

You need to have completely replaced the Microsoft driver, because it
doesn't support the headset or ctp Bluetooth profiles.  This gave me
fits!  I followed the instructions at
http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/07/05/bluetooth.html
and it works with both a Plantronics and a Motorola Headset, and I can
answer calls with idefisk, eyebeam, x-lite, and kapanga. 

If you end up not having both of these in the Bluetooth service
selection, you won't end up with the results you're looking for.

HTH

Hi,

I am not having trouble with the bluetooth stack since the Toshiba stack

has the headset profile which supports a subset of AT commands 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT_command> from GSM 07.07 for minimal 
controls including the ability to ring, answer a call, hang up and 
adjust the volume. The problem is getting the softphone to work with 
these AT commands so that the answer/hangup function will work from the 
bluetooth headset.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you able to answer calls by pressing the answer/hangup button on 
your headset or are you using the computer to answer the calls with a 
SIP phone. I can get the head set to work fine with the PC and sip 
phones what I cannot do is get the answer/hangup button on the head set 
to actually answer a call (for some odd reason it turns the bluetooth on 
and off and this occurrs with several different head sets).

Thanks for the info on the stack - good reference
