Configuring the function keys
See page 34 on how to open the phone’s web interface. See page 36 on the mechanics of
navigating in the windows and changing the settings.
Any changes you make will not take eect until you press "Apply" and "Save". Changes will be lost if
you open another page of the web interface without first pressing "Apply"/"Save".
Function key types on Snom phones
Every phone has a limited number of hard keys. Phone users, however, have a myriad of
dierent priorities and preferences when asked which functions they use most often and which
functionalities they would like to access quickly. Snom has therefore designed the function keys to be
programmable, even the preprogrammed "hard keys" whose default function is printed on them.
There are four types of programmable function keys (see also "At a glance" on page 18):
• Context-sensitive, programmable function keys. For the default settings, see "At a glance" on
page 18. You can select a dierent key event to be available on each respective key when the
phone is in idle mode. See "Example 4, Changing setting of context-sensitive key" on page 80
for step-by-step instructions on how to change the function mapped onto the key.
You cannot change the functions that are available when the phone is active, for example when
you are in a call, when the phone is ringing, etc. Depending on the activity, dierent functions will
be available.
See "Appendix 1 - Display Symbols and Icons" on page 104 for the lists of symbols and their
description.
• Navigation, confirmation, and cancel keys. For the default settings, see "At a glance" on page
18. You can select a dierent key event to be available on each respective key when the phone
is in idle mode.
You cannot change the functions that are available when the phone is active, for example when

• Dedicated, customizable function keys. The default setting is the respective key event printed
onto the key. Other key events and a selected number of other functionalities can be programmed
onto them. For the default settings, see "At a glance" on page 18.
• Freely programmable function keys with LEDs – the keys controlling the SmartLabels – on the
phone and on connected expansion modules. All available functionalities, including key events,
can be programmed onto them.
Freely programmable function keys with LEDs on connected expansion modules. When an
expansion module is connected to the phone, its function keys are added to the Function Keys
page of the web user interface of the phone (see "Function key page of phone's web interface", Fig.
7 on page 71).
Note: For information on connecting the D7 expansion module, please refer to the
user manual at http://wiki.snom.com/Snom_D7/Documentation. The user manual also
contains specific information on the D7's configuration.
The settings of the function keys on the expansion modules are stored on the phone and, unless
deleted prior to the module's disconnection, remain available to be used when the same or any
