T27G - BT40 - CP700

[jakthree]

I have a T27G in my conference room. It does a good job but has PoE wire connected to it. The wire gets in the way. I would like to know if a CP700 speakerphone will link via bluetooth to a T27G with a BT40 dongle.

Can a CP700 be linked via bluetooth to a T27G with BT40 and be used as a remote speaker/microphone?

Thank you,

Hi,

Technically speaking is this possible.
The BT40 is supported by the T27G and BT40 is compatible with CP700. Both support the Bluetooth V4.0 specs.

However, functionally speaking, the CP700 is compatible with Microsoft Teams/Skype for Business client and Yealink VCD client. The CP700 can connect to PC via USB cable or Bluetooth, and to smartphone via Bluetooth. After connected, you can control the calls on the CP700.

So long story short… you cannot use the CP700 with the T27G.

Actually I'm going to disagree. I've got a CP900 and essentially it acts a bluetooth headset. So you pair it either with the BT dongle or to any other bluetooth device (ie mobile phone) and it just acts as a headset. Aside from the "Teams" button there's nothing Teams/SFB/anything about it, it's just a speakerphone.

Pretty sure when I first got it one of the silly things I tried doing was putting the pre-paired BT adapter into a T29G. Worked just fine. From what I recall the only thing you may run into is that you may need to pair the USB adapter to the CP using a PC with Yealink Connect. Once that pairing is done, then just plug the USB adapter into the phone and it should show up as USB headset.

You can probably pair it as a generic BT Headset to a T27G with a BT40, but I have not tried that; I just used the pre-paired adapter because it was there and I had it.
