Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified IP Phone
You can enable your bluetooth wireless headset by following these steps:
Procedure
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration, choose Device > Phone, locate the phone
Step 1
you want to modify, and go to the Phone Configuration window for that phone.
In the Phone Configuration window, select Enable for the Bluetooth setting and Handsfree for the
Step 2
Bluetooth Profiles settings.
Save your changes.
Step 3
After the bluetooth wireless headset is enabled through Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration, you must add the headset as an accessory to the phone by using following these steps:
Procedure
On the Cisco Unified IP Phones 9951 or 9971, press the Applications button
Step 1
Accessories.
Select Add Bluetooth Accessory.
Step 2
The Adding Bluetooth Accessory window appears. A message tells you to make sure your accessory is
"discoverable," which means that the Bluetooth should be powered on and in "discoverable" or
"pairing" mode.
After the Bluetooth device is located, the name appears in the window, and a message appears that asks
for a PIN so that the Bluetooth device can be paired with the Cisco Unified IP Phone.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone automatically tries to pair with the headset by using a PIN of "0000." If the
Step 3
headset uses a different PIN, enter the correct PIN by referring to the user guide that came with the
headset.
Note
After the phone has the correct pin, the phone tries to connect to the accessory. The phone provides
feedback to the user while it tries to connect the accessory. If unable to connect, an error alert appears
to let the user know the reason for the failure. There is a timeout of 10 seconds for the phone to try to
connect the accessory. If the timer expires without a successful connection, an error alert is displayed.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone connects with headsets using a shared key authentication and encryption
method. The Cisco Unified IP Phone can be connected with up to five headsets at a time. The last one
connected is used as the default. Pairing is typically performed once for each headset.
After a device is paired, the Bluetooth connection is maintained as long as both devices (phone and
headset) are enabled and within range of each other. The connection typically re-establishes itself
automatically if either of the devices powers down then powers up. However, some headsets require user
action to re-establish the connection.
