the file format, see below. The setting_server URL can also consist of a {mac} statement
like http://www.snomag.de/snom200/snom200.php?mac={mac}. The MAC address is a
unique identification ID of Ethernet devices. snom devices have the form 000413xxxxxx,
where xxxxxx is a hexadecimal number identifying the snom device. The MAC address
is automatically replaced from the phone with its own mac address before using the
URL. So phone specific settings can be provided for each phone via this mechanism. The
“setting_server” setting can be set manually via webinterface or automatically via DHCP
(options 66 and 67) and through snom4S SIP proxy.
4. The de facto settings are added. These settings may differ from what has been set up
because DHCP may have changed them. The settings include:
•
the IP address of the device,
•
the net mask,
•
the IP gateway,
•
the hostname,
•
the DNS domain, first and second DNS server,
•
the UTC offset in seconds,
•
the time server,
•
DHCP on or off
Each setting is described by its ‚Name:‘ which should be added to the config file followed
by a colon and its specific value. Name is followed by ‚Valid values:‘ where the valid values are
described. Each possible value is bracketed in <>.The braces must be left out if you are using
the values stored in a config file. ‚Default:‘ shows the value which is set by default after you
have removed all of the setting with a manual update or a reset values! Lastly, ‚Description’
gives brief details of each setting. See also the snom4S SIP proxy manual for PNP configuration
via the proxy. And see the FAQ “How to update a snom phone” for further details regarding the
update process.
