Hi There,

Does anyone know how to program Snom phones using a Mac addresses like what is done with the Ciscos. I have about 50 extensions to be programmed and I
am hoping there is a way on Asterisk to program extensions on the snom phones. Please assist.

Regards

  • What do you mean with “50 extensions”? Snom phones allow to define a directory, where you can export and import a simple text file. There might also be a way to automate this using one of the provisioning methods.

  • I do not think that this is specifically an Asterisk problem. The SNOM phones that we use (870s and 76s) have FW 8.7.3.25.5. On the Update tab of the Advanced setting page there are set the update policy and URI. In our case the settings are ‘Never update, load settings only’, from URL http://192.168.6.9:83, with a refresh interval of 600840.

    The phone will look at http://192.168.6.9:83 for a file called snom870-000000000000.htm where 000000000000 is the phone’s MAC
    number. If that fails then it will look for snom870.htm instead. These files should contain the xml dialect for the SNOM phone configuration directives:


    English
    *78
    . . .

    You need to provide a service that will provide the file via URI. You must put files therein with names following the specific nomenclature employed buy the phones themselves. Finally you must also set the phones to read from that location and to apply the configurations retrieved therefrom.
