¶ Introduction
This Configuration Guide is written as a general guide on how to configure the Snom DECT base station M300 to work with PBXware 5.3.8.
¶ 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-V2/05.00/B0001.
- 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 Handsets
The two supported DECT handsets are as follows:
- M25
- M80
Additionally, the Snom M300 DECT base station is also compatible with other DECT handsets: M65, M70, 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.
