Obibluetooth Settings; Pairing Obibt With Mobile Phone - Obihai OBi110 Administration Manual

OBiBlueTooth
- For OBi202 and OBi302 Only -
The OBiBlueTooth feature requires an OBiBT Bluetooth Adapter USB dongle (sold separately) connected to the USB port of
the OBi device. OBiBT is compatible with Bluetooth 1.1 to 4.0 and supports the HFP (handsfree) profile. When paired with a
mobile phone, OBiBT plays a role similar to a Bluetooth headset from the perspective of the mobile phone.

Pairing OBiBT with Mobile Phone

To use OBiBlueTooth with a mobile phone, you must first pair it with the phone. You can initiate the pairing operation from
the mobile phone's Bluetooth setup screen. A typical mobile phone has a "Scan for devices" option under its Buetooth
setting. Activating that option shows a list of Bluetooth devices in the neighbourhood. For your OBiBT to show up in this list,
you must make sure it is set to "discoverable".
There are two ways to make OBiBT discoverable:
1. Connect a phone to any one of the OBi phone ports, pick up the phone and dial *28. If you have an authentic OBiBT
dongle attached to the OBi, you will hear a beep-beep confirmation tone, and the OBiBT will be discoverable for the
next 120 seconds. If you do not have an OBiBT dongle attached to the OBi, you will hear a fast busy tone instead
2. Open the device web page and click on OBiBlueTooth under Voice Services on the left side panel of the page. Check
the option Discoverable under Device Settings on the OBiBlueTooth page and press the submit button at the bottom of
the page. This makes your OBiBT discoverable for the next 120 seconds if you have an authentic dongle attached to the
device
Note that you do not want the OBiBT to remain discoverable indefinitely to avoid unauthorized pairing.
If your OBiBT is discoverable, it should show up in your mobile phone's scanned device list, with the name "OBi". Then you
can select that device for pairing. That would be it for most modern mobile phones. For some older phone models,
however, it may further prompt you to enter a 4-digit PIN code in order to complete pairing with the OBiBT. You may enter
0 0 0 0 if you are prompted to do so.
Once paired, the mobile phone and the OBi will remember the pairing so that you do not need to perform this operation
again in the future, until the pairing is explicitly removed. In fact, the OBi will remember the last 10 paired devices. The
name "OBi" should be shown in the list of paired devices on your mobile phone. The mobile phone should then allow you to
select "OBi" from the list to establish a connection. If the operation is successful, it should say connected. With that, you
are ready to make and receive mobile calls on the OBi via your mobile handset.
After an initial pairing and connection with the mobile phone, OBiBT will automatically request connection with the same
phone next time it comes in range. If it still remembers the pairing information with OBiBT, your mobile phone would also
quietly accept the connection request.
You can find the device pairing information for the last 10 paired devices on the OBiBlueTooth device web page under the
Device Settings section. A screenshot of this page is shown below. There are two parameters for each paired device X,
where X = 1, 2, ..., 10:
- PairedDeviceX – The name of the paired device.
- RemovePairedDeviceX – Check this box and press the submit button to remove this device from the paired device
list.
Some exceptions:
- If the pairing information is removed from the mobile phone after initial pairing and connection with OBiBT, the
next time it comes in range with OBiBT, the phone may pop up a message to let you know that the device "OBi" is
requesting connection. You may then manually accept the connection.
