¶ Introduction
This Configuration Guide is written as a general guide on how to configure the Snom DECT base station M400 to work with PBXware v6.7.10 and v7.4.
¶ Requirements
¶ Identifying Device Model
To start and successfully complete the registration of your Snom device, you need to know which device model to set up.
On the back of each Snom device, there is model information that you should check. Although various device models can have exactly the same requirements and installation procedures, device models can also have significantly different requirements and installation procedures, so that is why it is important to know the model you own which results in you setting up the device successfully.
¶ DECT Base Station Firmware
- Make sure that your Snom DECT base station is loaded with an appropriate firmware version, IPDECT-V2/06.10/B0004.
- To find out the firmware version of your Snom DECT base station, open a new browser window and enter your DECT base station's IP address in order to access the web administration interface login screen. Example:
http://192.168.1.22. - Go to Home/Status in the left navigation menu.
¶ Supported DECT Handset
The supported DECT handset is:
- M30
Additionally, the Snom M400 DECT base station is also compatible with other DECT handsets: M25, M65, M70, M80, M85, and M90.
NOTE: Please note that DECT handsets have their own firmware. It is highly recommended that DECT base stations and DECT handsets use the same firmware version.
For more on how to upgrade firmware and their versions, please visit: https://service.snom.com/display/wiki/DECT+M-Series+Firmware.
¶ DHCP Server
Fully configured and operational DHCP server.
¶ PBXware Version
PBXware version v6.7.10 and v7.4
In order to find out the PBXware version:
- Log in to PBXware
- Navigate to Settings: About.
On the top of About page, you may see a code similar to this one PBXware Edition: Multi-Tenant Release: 6.7.10 (251dc1c5) Running: 13.23.1-gc-040bbaca, Proxy v5.3.8 (231c5f3), API: 5.3, libmemcached version: 1.0.18, where Release denotes the current version of your PBXware.
¶ Installation
This section describes how to install and connect the device to the electrical power and data network as well as how to apply factory settings.
The following topics are covered:
- Power Adapter
- Power over Ethernet (PoE)
- Factory Settings
¶ Power Adapter
Connect the Network and Power
- Connect the DC plug on the power adapter to the DC port on the device and connect the other end of the power adapter into an electrical power outlet.
- Connect the Ethernet cable between the Internet port on the device and the network port on a router or switch to access LAN.
NOTE: If you are using Power over Ethernet (PoE), you do not need to connect the AC adapter. Please make sure the Ethernet cable and router or switch is Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant.
¶ Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Connect the Network (only)
Using a regular Ethernet cable, your device can be powered from a Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant router or switch.
- Connect the Ethernet cable between the Internet port on the device and an available port on the in-line power router or switch.
NOTE: If you are using Power over Ethernet (PoE), you do not need to connect the AC adapter. Please make sure the Ethernet cable and router or switch is Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant.
¶ Find the Device's IP Address
To determine the IP address of the DECT M400 base station, users can utilize one of the compatible handsets (M25, M30, M65, M70, M80, M85 and M90).
Please do the following:
1. On the M30 DECT handset press the 'Menu' key
2. Dial *47*
3. Select the desired base station.
The IP address will be displayed on the top of the display.
¶ Reset to Factory Settings
This step is not required for brand new out-of-the-box phones, however, if the phone has been already used then it is a must.
- Open a new browser window and enter your phone IP address in order to access the phone web administration interface login screen. Example:
http://192.168.1.22. - Go to Management.
