¶ Introduction
This Configuration Guide is written as a general guide on how to configure Snom PA1 to work with PBXware 5.3.7.
¶ Requirements
¶ Identifying Device Model
To start and successfully complete 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, they 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.
¶ Device Firmware
Make sure that your device is loaded with an appropriate firmware version, 8.7.5.75.
¶ DHCP Server
Fully configured and operational DHCP server.
¶ PBXware Version
