22. The CLI command 'mobile show devices' can be used at any time to show the status of configured
devices, and whether or not the device is capable of sending / receiving SMS via bluetooth:

trixbox1*CLI> mobile show devices
ID Address Connected State SMS
my_phone 00:12:56:90:6E:00 Yes Free Yes
my_headset 00:0B:9E:11:74:A5 Yes Free No

trixbox1*CLI>

23. All being well Asterisk will now try and establish a connection to each configured device.
If it can’t it will retry after 'interval' seconds, infinitely. This means that as your cell
phone comes into range and goes out of range, Asterisk will automatically connect and disconnect
from it. You don’t need to worry about it.
24. As each phone is connected you will see a message on the Asterisk console:

trixbox1*CLI>
Loaded chan_mobile.so => (Bluetooth Mobile Device Channel Driver)
-- Bluetooth Device my_phone has connected.
-- Bluetooth Device my_headset has connected.

25. If someone calls your cell phone now, Asterisk will handle the call and it will be sent to the
context you specified, or the default context. Hopefully this means some SIP phone somewhere will ring,
pick it up and take the call.
26. Important: Watch what your cell phone is doing the first few times. Asterisk won’t make random
calls but if chan_mobile fails to hang up for some reason and you get a huge bill from your telco,
don’t blame me.
