Topic: Snom phones as remote extensions.

[del]

I have SARK UCS installed at my small office and I currently use X-Lite as a remote extension at home and I was wondering if I could replace this with a Snom phone. Would it configure OK using TFTP? Or will I have to do it manually? If manually can someone offer any help or guidance.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about the self provisioning, mine are 220 and 320,and I configured it by visiting the built in web server.
So far the Snom phones have been the best ones I tried.

HI guys,

The Snoms will configure just fine remotely.  SAIL creates tftp entries in tftpboot for local phones but it also creates the same entries in the primary/html ibay for remote phones.  This way you don't need to open any ports because 80 is already open. You should also define the phone as "remote" in the extensions panel.

All you have to do in the snom is set the configuration server address (on the advanced page - look in the section "update:" "server url:" ) and restart the phone. The configuration server address should be the external IP address where the SARK box is. It's usually easiest with domestic/low-end professional DSL routers to put the SARK box into the DMZ so that everything is forwarded to it.  Alternatively, you will have to forward the necessary UDP ports to the box.  By default, Snoms do NOT use 5060 for SIP (they usually use 2048).


ER.. that's it, it will just work.

Kind Regards
