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 M700 and M300 Base Stations".
For information on multicell setup (M700 only), see "Multicell Deployment Guide snom 700".
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 M65 or M25 handset 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
2. Press the menu key
on the M65 handset or the center of the navigation key on the M25.
The main menu screen (Fig. 1) will appear on the display.

3. Type *47*. The IP Search screen opens (Fig. 2). If your handset detects 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.
