Provisioning Guide M700, M300 Introduction
Introduction
This configuration manual covers the initial setup of M300 and M700 bases for administrators who
want to remotely configure and deploy the snom DECT solution. This guide applies to firmware 3.23
and higher.
The M300 and M700 DECT base stations share most of their settings and provisioning capabilities
with snom desktop phones. However, due to the dierent nature of the M-series products, there are
certain settings that either do not exist or are configured dierently on snom desktop phones.
Note: The M300 base station is sold as part of the M325 Bundle.
Supported Provisioning Methods
• DHCP (Option 43, 66, 67, 120)
• Manual Setting of Setting Server
• PnP
• snom Redirection Service
DHCP
The DHCP server must be configured with additional DHCP options containing the URL of the
provisioning server that are provided to M300 and M700 DECT base stations when they are booting.
The base stations will then request their configuration parameters from the provisioning server which
will result in a "ready-to-use" phone setup without manual configuration.
Currently the M300 and M700 base stations support the following DHCP options:
