[chan_mobile] phone not connected

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi. I come to you after days of searching through forums, Google and blogs. So I’m kinda desperate :frowning:

I’ve got a Debian (6.0.0) box with Asterisk (1.8.3.3) installed on it. I managed to install a Digium TDM411B card and it’s working.

Here is my problem :

I want to connect a cellphone to Asterisk so I can make/receive calls through it. I re-compiled Asterisk with chan_mobile included. Everything’s loading well. I managed to pair the cellphone (Blackberry Curve 8520) with the box using a MSI BToes 2.0 EDR Micro Dongle and bluetooth-agent (comes in some bluez package). But mobile show devices indicates that the cellphone is not connected. I tried a different bluetooth dongle, it doesn’t make a difference.

Here are some outputs :

As you probably see, I’m new to Asterisk. Sorry if all this sounds a bit foolish.
If anyone could indicate me how to go further in resolving this problem, I’d much appreciate it.
Thank you for your time.

Me too, my cellphone isn’t connect to asterisk…
… I have been paired bt dongle with phone.

I have debian sid with these packages:

ii bluez 4.93-3 Bluetooth tools and daemons ii bluez-utils 4.93-3 Transitional package ii asterisk 1:1.8.4-1 Open Source Private Branch Exchange (PBX) ii asterisk-mobile 1:1.8.4-1 Bluetooth phone support for the Asterisk PBX

Please,
help me :slight_smile:

Add a hcidump:

but chan_mobile.c: bind() failed (98).

I win :smiley:

Connected to Asterisk 1.8.4 currently running on debian (pid = 18564) Verbosity was 0 and is now 3 Core debug was 0 and is now 3 -- Bluetooth Device NOKIA6630 has connected, initializing... -- Bluetooth Device NOKIA6630 initialized and ready. debian*CLI> mobile show devices ID Address Group Adapter Connected State SMS NOKIA6630 00:11:9F:BE:79:60 1 blue Yes Free No

the error is in source, chan_mobile.c

wrong:

memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr)); addr.rc_family = AF_BLUETOOTH; bacpy(&addr.rc_bdaddr, &src); [b]addr.rc_channel = (uint8_t) 1;[/b] if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)) < 0) { ast_debug(1, "bind() failed (%d).\n", errno); close(s); return -1; }

correct:

memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(addr)); addr.rc_family = AF_BLUETOOTH; bacpy(&addr.rc_bdaddr, &src); [b]addr.rc_channel = (uint8_t) 0;[/b] if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)) < 0) { ast_debug(1, "bind() failed (%d).\n", errno); close(s); return -1; }

recompile and all works good!

another problem, SMS=no, why?

Can this be stickied or fixed permanently? This has been on ongoing issue for a long time with asterisk and chan_mobile, the issue is still not resolved even on the recent source tree. Every time I upgrade Asterisk, I forget about this and start pounding my head trying to figure out why it’s not connecting and I realize I have to do this fix every time when a new version is out.

6

Regarding a permanent fix, see:
issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-16357

waiting on a proper patch to move forward, but note that chan_mobile falls under Extended support, so someone in the community will need to carry it forward.

Is this issue only affecting debian based installs? Just seems silly to use an older Bluez version, when the svn is still being changed and modified, so it must work fine for someone. I’d rather track down the problem than use this ugly fix all the time.
