Configuring

To be able to use the M-series DECT phones, the base station must be connected to your network's

or your VoIP service provider's PBX, and the handset(s) must be registered at the base station. This

admin guide covers the manual conﬁguration of the base station.

For information on provisioning settings, see "Provisioning Guide M900 Base Station";

for information on multicell setup, see the "M900 Multicell Deployment Guide". You can

M-series base stations follow most Snom conﬁguration and management schemes. It is

recommended to have a local HTTP/HTTPS server for ﬁrmware updates, central conﬁguration

management, and hosting ﬁrmware ﬁles for base stations, handsets, and repeaters. Handsets and

repeaters are updated over the air by the base station.

Preliminary steps

Normally the initialization of the base station is completely automatic, using DHCP. If the base station

cannot discover a DHCP server in the subnet, you can set it up manually via its web interface. As

a minimum you will need to enter the IP address, netmask, IP gateway, and DNS server. Your VoIP

service provider or your network may require more data; please ask your provider or your network's

administrator for the requisite input.

Finding the IP address of the base station

You can use any M-series handset (M65, M70, M80, M85, M90, M25) in the vicinity of the base station

to ﬁnd the base's IP address. The handset does not need to be registered at the base.

1. Connect the base station to your network and wait until the LED is green.

2. Press the menu key on the handset, with the exception of the M25 where you press the center

of the navigation key. The main menu screen (Fig. 1) will appear on the display.

3. Type *47* on the keypad. The IP Search screen opens (Fig. 2). If your handset has

detected more than one base station within range, check the MAC address on the back of

your base station and use the navigation key to select your base (Fig. 3).
