Disable or Re-enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth via Device Manager

This section applies only to devices that support Wi-Fi, i.e., devices with a DBW suffix in their Product Name.

For AudioCodes IP phones that include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capacities, administrators can enforce a wireless lockdown, by turning on a dedicated flag in Device Manager. When this flag is turned on:

■

The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth options are removed from the phone's Device Settings.

■

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth related configuration parameters have no effect.

End users cannot re-enable these wireless interfaces while the restriction is in effect.

➢

To disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth:

■

Enable the following configuration parameter for the relevant phones in Device Manager:

admin/restrict_wireless=1

➢

To re-enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth:

■

Disable the following configuration parameter for the relevant phones in Device Manager:

admin/restrict_wireless=0

●

By default, the restrict_wireless flag is disabled, meaning Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are available and unrestricted.
