snom 821 User Manual Customizing the Phone Settings
Customizing the phone settings
See "Opening the web interface" on page 31 on how to open the phone’s web interface. See "How
the web interface works" on page 31 on the mechanics of navigating in the windows and changing the
settings. See "User mode/administrator mode" on page 33 on the difference between administrator and
user mode.
Note: If you have access to administrator mode, but do not consider yourself to be
an expert on SIP and SIP phones, we recommend that you do not change any of the
technical settings since this may adversely affect the phone’s performance or put it out
of order altogether.
If you want more information on a web interface setting, click on the radio button with the question mark
that you see to the right of each item. It links to a page on snom’s Wiki with detailed information about
that particular item.
For more information on customizing function key settings, see the chapter "Configuring the function
keys" on page 58.
Note: Any changes you make will not take effect until you click on "Apply". Changes will
be lost if you open another page of the web interface or if you close the web interface
without first clicking on "Apply".
After you have clicked on "Apply", the "Save" button will appear at the top of the page.
Click on "Save" to save the changes permanently. Changes that have not been saved
will be lost if and when the phone loses power or is disconnected from its power source.
Identities/accounts
The phone supports up to twelve accounts or "phone numbers" with one or more providers or within
an office or organization network. On snom phones these accounts or phone numbers are called
"identities".
If your phone is part of an office network, you may need to contact your administrator to configure new
or change existing identities, as this can only be done when the phone is running in administrator mode
and when the PBX settings allow it.
See "Initializing and registering the phone" on page 15 for information on required input data.
Configuring new identity/account
On the phone
You can do the basic setup (account/number & registrar):
1. Press > 3 Identity > 3 Edit User.
