¶ Introduction
This Configuration Guide is written as a general guide on how to configure the Snom phone model D385 to work with PBXware 5.3.7.
¶ Requirements
¶ Identifying the Phone Model
To start and successfully complete registration of your Snom phone, you need to know which phone model to set up.
On the back of each Snom phone, there is model information that you should check. Although various phone models can have exactly the same requirements and installation procedures, phone 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.
¶ Phone Firmware
- Make sure that your phone is loaded with an appropriate firmware version, 10.1.57.14.
- To find out the firmware version of your Snom phone model, open a new browser window and enter your phone's IP address in order to access the phone's web administration interface login screen. Example:
http://192.168.1.22. - Go to System Information in the left navigation menu.
¶ DHCP Server
Fully configured and operational DHCP server.
¶ PBXware Version
PBXware version 5.3.7
In order to find out the PBXware version:
