Configuring Skype to Accept the Jabra Connection 

Jabra PC Suite User’s Guide

The following information is shown in the main area of the window: 
• 

: Shows the current status of the connection between the Jabra Skype 

Interface and the Skype program. If the connection is down, then check to 
make sure Skype is running and that it is configured to accept a connection for 
the Jabra Skype Interface. 

• 

: Shows the current status of the connection to the Device Service and 

the name of the headset to which the Skype Interface is connected. If the 
connection is down, then make sure you are running the Jabra Device Service 
and that your Jabra device is connected to your PC and powered on.  

 

Note: To close the Skype Interface window without quitting the program itself 
(recommended if you will continue to use Skype), click on the close button in the 
upper right corner of the window. 

The first time you run the Jabra Skype Interface together with Skype itself, Skype 
will notify you that an external program is trying to connect to Skype and ask you 
to approve the connection. You should, of course, approve it. If you do not, then 
Jabra will not be able to connect to Skype. 

If you would like to check whether Skype is accepting the Jabra connection, or 
change the connection setting, then open your Skype 

 window. The exact 

procedure for doing this is probably different for each version of Skype, so you 
need to check your Skype documentation for complete details. Below is an 
overview of how to do this with Skype 3.8: 

1.  Run Skype and choose 

 from its menu bar. 

2.  The 

 window opens. Click on the 

 item in the left 

column and then on the 

 sub-item (which may already be 

selected by default).
