Admin and Installation Guide M700, M300 Setting Up
Introduction
In a typical telephony system, the M-series base station is connected to the local area network (LAN)
which, in turn, is connected to a PBX or an IP Service Provider. The base station converts IP protocol
to DECT protocol and transmits phone calls to and from the DECT handsets.
To be able to use the M-series DECT phones, the base station must be connected to your LAN and the
handset(s) must be registered at the base station. This admin guide covers the manual configuration
of one base station.
For information on multicell setup (M700 only), see "Multicell Deployment Guide snom 700".
For information on provisioning settings, see "Provisioning Guide M700 and M300 Base Stations".
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.
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.
