Installation
SECTION I: Administrator Functions
Installation
Warning: Use only the batteries approved by snom technology, as this may lead to leakage, fire, explosion, or other dangerous situations. Use the battery only for its intended
purpose. Do not short-circuit the battery. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the connecting object. Do NOT use a damaged charger or battery. Using a
damaged battery may cause it to explode.
Handset Preparation
The base station, chargers, handsets, power adapters, and cables are designed for indoor installation with a
temperature range between +5°C and 45°C (41°F and 113°F). They are not intended for outdoor installa-
tion!
1. Lift off the battery cover (image A).
2. Insert the battery pack with the electrodes in the top left corner. Replace the cover (image B).
Note: Do not place or store the battery, whether inside or outside the handset, in the immediate vicinity
of open fire or other heat sources. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places will reduce its capacity and
lifetime. For short-term storage, store batteries in a dry location with low humidity, no corrosive gases,
and at a temperature range of -20° C to 45° C (-4° F to 113° F). For long-term storage, store at temperature ranges between +10° C and +30° C (50° F to 86° F).
3. Connect the 5.9 V power supply of the charger to the wall outlet, then connect it to the charger.
4. Place the handset into the charging cradle (image C).

Recharging the Battery
The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery will eventually wear out even though it can
be charged and discharged hundreds of times. If the phone is left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display.
Charge batteries within an ambient temperature range of 0° C to 40° C (32° F to 104° F). A device with a hot
or cold battery may temporarily be non-working, even when the battery is fully charged. Avoid overcharging.
Repeated overcharging can lead to deterioration in battery performance. Never attempt to charge the battery
with reversed polarity as this may cause the gas pressure inside the battery to rise and lead to leakages.
Setting up the Base Station
The base station and handsets are designed for indoor installation with a temperature range between +5°C
and +45°C (between 41°F and 113°F). They are not intended for outdoor installation!
DECT handsets have a range of around 300 feet from the base station.
1. Once the handset is ready for use, insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the redundant network
port of the base station, then connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a LAN port in your network
(e.g., switch, router, etc.).
Warning: Safety status of input/output connections comply to safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) requirements. To avoid electric shock, do not connect SELV circuits to telephonenetwork voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and PSTN ports contain
TNV circuits. Some LAN and PSTN ports both use RJ-45 (8P8C) connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.

The IP address of the base station is displayed on the screen. Make a note of it (image A below).
2.Using the bottom edge of the navigation wheel, page down twice. Make a note of the handset ID (im-age B). Do not include the “h.”
Note: If DHCP failed, the IP address, netmask, and IP gateway of the base station will need to be assigned from the handset. To apply the settings, the base must be rebooted. After reboot, the base should be reachable at the IP address assigned through the handset.
Page 14
snom m9 DECT Administrator Guide
HTTP
HTTP allows you to access the m9 base station without looking at the handset. This is helpful in cases where
the handset has problems registering to the base station or when the handset is simply not available.
Note: The steps described here assume that you have an operating system that supports IPv6 (Windows 7,
Vista, Mac, Linux) and the device is in the same LAN as the computer being used to access it.
1. Find the MAC address of the base. The MAC address of the base station can be found on the label at
the back of the m9 base station. For example, a MAC address could be 00:04:13:30:12:34.
2. Open a web browser and enter the following address: http://[fe80::204:13ff:fe30:1234],
where the 1234 corresponds to the last four digits of the MAC address from Step 1. You should see
the login screen of the m9.
3. Log in using the default username and password (admin and password).
4. Navigate to the status web page. The IP address of the phone is listed as shown below.
Note: The IPv6 interface requires an upgraded Linux Kernel on the device. If the IPv6 interface is not working,
upgrade the device to the latest Linux Kernel which can be found at http://provisioning.snom.com/download/
fw/m9-os.bin.

4. Click Handsets, then select the handset ID from the Handset ID (IPUI) dropdown list. Click Save.
The user’s name will be displayed on the phone display. This is considered the “idle display.”
5. Repeat these steps for each handset.
Note: Each handset can be assigned up to nine SIP accounts (identities). When there is only one
handset per account, that handset will use the same account for incoming and outgoing calls. When
one handset has been assigned to multiple accounts, the same handset will ring whenever a call comes
in on any of the SIP accounts for incoming calls. For outgoing calls, the user will need to select the
Outgoing SIP account by using the “Allow Line Switching” setting (shown below), which allows users to call numbers with an <index>*Number format (e.g., to call 499 from Identity 3, the user will dial
3*499).

will be available.
DNS Domain: This is the DNS domain of the device, if DHCP is switched off.
NTP Server: NTP Time Server IP Address of hostname.
VLAN/ID: VLAN ID is the identification of the VLAN, which is basically used by the standard 802.1Q.
It has 12 bits and allows the identification of 4096 VLANs. Possible values range from 0 to 4095.
VLAN Priority: VLAN Priority lets the user assign a priority to outbound packets containing the speci-
fied VLAN-ID (VID). Possible values range from 0 to 7.
Provisioning Server: This field takes an auto configuration URL (links to a configuration XML file)
Settings refresh timer: This field indicates the number of seconds after which the m9 will refresh its
settings from the setting server periodically (0 = don’t refresh).
SIP client port: Allows the m9 to bind the device to a fixed SIP UDP port (e.g., 5060). By default, the
m9 selects a random UDP port for SIP signaling.
RTP Type of Service (ToS/Diffserv): Enables the m9 to support quality of service (QoS) for RTP traf-
fic in the network via Diffserv.
SIP Type of Service (ToS/Diffserv): Enables the m9 to support quality of service (QoS) for SIP traffic

Allow Check-Sync: Allows reboot/re-sync with SIP NOTIFY.
STUN server: STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NAT) server and port.
STUN refresh interval in seconds: Interval for STUN refresh.
NAT Traversal
NAT is typically used by a router or firewall to allow devices that are on a LAN (Local Area Network) and have
private IP addresses to share a single, public IP address. To maintain the session, the NAT’ed snom m9 behind
the firewall must keep sending messages to keep the session open. These messages are called “NAT Keep
Alive” messages. The snom m9 provides the following provisionable settings for NAT Keep Alive:
outbound_method: crlf or stun
outbound_tcp: Refresh interval in seconds for TCP connections (default is 60)
outbound_udp: Refresh interval in seconds for UDP connections (default is 20)

Security
X.509 Certificates
In Cyberspace, “certificates” are electronic documents that use digital signatures to bind a public key with an
identity and include information such as the name of a person or an organization, their address, and so forth.
The certificate can be used to verify that a public key belongs to an individual, thus establishing the identity of
the certificate owner. We are trying to verify that the device/ID is who they say they are, which is vital for plug
and play when authenticating over the WAN.
Certificate Authorities
A certificate authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates. It is a third party that is trusted by both
the owner of the certificate and the party relying upon the certificate. The m9 phone has a built-in CA that is
owned by snom.com. The IPBX software can use the certificate to be assured that it is talking to a snom m9
base station with MAC address 000413xxxxxxx. The m9 base station automatically performs server identity
verification based on trusted X.509 certificate chains when SSL/TLS is used. Servers that present certificates
signed by CAs unknown to the base are rejected. To deactivate the Server Verification functionality:
1. Log in to the m9 web interface, and select Security.
2. From the Certificate Policy dropdown, select Don’t validate certificates.
18
Page 27
Security
Note: The snom m9 is also able to present its X.509 Certificate for Client Identity Verification (CIV), a critical
risk mitigation measure that gives all participants confidence about who they are dealing with. For the Client/
Server verification to function, the validation server must have a valid certificate with a domain name as the CN.
Also, the same domain name must be provided to the snom m9 as the SIP server or auto-configuration server.
To view the trusted root CAs on the base, click Status > Network.
Client Certificates
Each snom m9 base station comes equipped with a unique X.509 certificate signed by snom CA.
19
Page 28
snom m9 DECT Administrator Guide
These client certificates are used by the snom m9 to provide servers proof-of-identity based on the
MAC address and to generate private-key-based signatures. Client certificates allow an SSL/TLS
server to verify the identity of a connecting client. The verifying server can be co-located within a SIP
server or a configuration server or it can be an independent network entity. This mechanism of identity
verification also eliminates the need for standard authentication mechanisms such as username/password authentication

Encrypted Calls
The snom m9 supports media and SIP signaling encryption for making secure VoIP calls using TLS/SRTP.
These features are provided via RFC 4346 (TLS), RFC 3711 (SRTP), and Internet draft draft-ietf-mmusic-sdescriptions-12 (SDP Security Descriptions for Media Streams)
Signaling Encryption
Transport Layer Security or TLS is a cryptographic protocol that provides communications security over the
Internet. TLS enables a device and server to use a secure connection for communication which is not susceptible to eavesdropping or data thefts on the Internet. TLS is analogous to HTTPS.
The snom m9 provides the user with the option to use TLS functionality for SIP signaling (also known as
SIPS), thereby providing a high level of call control security on the Internet as well as in other security-sensitive
networks. The TLS/SIPS functionality can be enabled on the snom m9 by appending the transport=tls
parameter to the SIP outbound proxy. E.g. the following Outbound Proxy setting would enable the snom m9 to
use TLS (port 5061) for registration and call setup with sip:myserver.com.
Note: TLS usage can also be configured via DNS SRV setup. In this case, the snom m9 will automatically
select the port and transport provided by DNS SRV lookup.
This signaling is used between the base station and the IPBX, so it must also support these protocols to protect the conversation between the base station and the handset.
Media Encryption
For media encryption, the snom m9 relies on RFC 3711 (SRTP) for Packet Encryption and Internet draft draftietf-mmusic-sdescriptions-12 for Key Exchange. The Key Exchange protocol allows the snom m9 to exchange
RTP Keying information with its peer in SIP signaling messages when a call is placed or answered. This exchanged information is then used to establish an “encrypted” audio stream between the snom m9 and its peer.
Media encryption can be switched on using the RTP Encryption setting. This setting toggles between SAVP/
AVP). In summary, TLS encrypts the signalling or call setup and teardown messages, and SRTP encrypts and
protects the audio steam or voice packets.
22
Page 31
Security
Secure call status is indicated on the snom m9 handset. If the phone successfully registered a TLS/SRTP session, the closed padlock icon will be displayed.
Certificate Authority Setup
Custom configured CAs can be viewed by clicking Status > Network > Root Certificate Authorities from
the snom m9 web interface. (Additional CAs can be added, but you cannot delete select CAs. However, doing
a factory reset from the base will clear all the configured CAs.)

Logging
The Log link gives you the SIP logging messages. Following are a few types:
Registration Log
Roaming Provisioning
Location Profile
Calls
The Calls link indicates the status of active calls on the snom m9 base station. Reminder: You can have only
four active calls on one base station.
DNS Cache
DNS is used to MAP IP addresses to domain names. To reduce DNS traffic across the network and increase
performance, snom m9 stores DNS query results for a period of time. The contents of the DNS cache, which
is typically the IP address of the SIP server or IPBX, can be viewed under this section.
Network Analyzer
The network analyzer allows administrators to capture network traffic on the snom m9 base station. Captured
files can be viewed in packet capture tools such as Wireshark, which is a free open source packet-capturing
and analysis tool (www.wireshark.org). You would use this for troubleshooting network or call quality issues.
1. In order to manually capture traffic on the snom m9, click the Start button.
Note: The PCAP on Bootup function automatically turns on packet capture on bootup.

Handset Firmware Update
Over-the-Air Update
Over-the-air update refers to updating the handsets over the DECT (radio) interface. Each m9 firmware version
includes a corresponding updated handset firmware version. After the base station has been upgraded to the
new firmware, the handsets can be upgraded using this procedure.
1. From the handset, press the center navigation button, followed by gHandset gFW Update.
2. The words “On charger” are displayed on the handset display.
3. Place Handset on charger.
Upload progress is indicated on the handset display. The handset firmware update takes approximately
5 minutes.
Note: Up to four handsets can be updated in parallel.
Firmware Update via USB Port
Handsets can also be upgraded via the USB port located underneath the battery cover. USB (Universal Serial
Bus) is a standard cable connection interface on personal computers and consumer electronics. USB ports
allow standalone electronic devices to be connected via cables to a computer (or to each other). USB can
connect peripherals such as mice, keyboards, digital cameras, phones, printers, personal media players, flash
drives, network adapters, and external hard drives.
1. To locate the USB port on the handset, remove the battery cover.
2. Connect a USB cable to the PC, and plug the other end into the USB receptacle on the handset.

10. Click Open to select the file.
11. To begin the firmware update, click Download at the top of the Update Tool screen.
12. The update status is displayed on the handset.
Auto Configuration and Firmware Update
To administer a large pool of snom m9 devices, the device provides the option to configure settings and upgrade device firmware with zero-touch interaction from the user. These mechanisms allow the administrator to
manage and monitor all snom m9 devices in the network remotely.
The snom m9 Auto Provisioning feature allows multiple devices to be configured and upgraded automatically in
parallel. Auto configuration is enabled by providing a settings server URL to the base station. This can be done
manually or via DHCP. Three files are required when using Auto Configuration. The required syntax structure
for each of the files is as follows:
Base file000413231325.xml
Firmware filefirmware-000413231325.xml
Settings filesettings-000413231325.xml
An example of the base file (i.e., the provisioning URL) is shown below:
http://server.example.com/m9/000413231325.xml
The base file contains links to the rmware and settings files, as shown below:
32
Page 41
Auto Configuration and Firmware Update
A base setting file may also be used with PHP to force devices to provide their MAC addresses. The server
can then return the actual settings for each device based on its MAC address.
The firmware settings file links to the snom m9 base station firmware (the file pointed to in the link contains the
base and handset firmware bundle).

Address Book Provisioning with XML
Using XML files for the address book allows you to upload contacts into the snom m9 base station. Following
is an example XML-based address book for the snom m9:
Each contact must be within its own <item></item> begin and end tags and must include parameters
such as itemcontext, type, name, and number. These tags must be individually specified for all entries. There are no default values for tags that are left empty.

Dial Plans
Dial Plans
A dial plan establishes the expected number and pattern of digits for a telephone number. This includes country
codes, access codes, area codes, and all combinations of digits dialed.
On the snom m9, dial plans may provide the following functions:
Automatic termination of emergency numbers at an emergency service provider
Automatic recogition of number completion (e.g., ten-digit number in the U.S.)
Automatic conversion of local numbers into global numbers (e.g., dialing 398330 in Berlin, Germany
gets converted into +4930398330)
Automatic appending of the local domain (e.g., dialing 398330 gets converted into sip:398330@
company.com;user=phone)
35
Page 44
snom m9 DECT Administrator Guide
Each identity on the snom m9 can be configured to include these dial patterns.
Configuration
Dial plan entries consist of three parts (pattern, result, and flags), each of which may be separated by any character. Typically, the characters “!” or “|” are used as field separators.
Pattern: The pattern field is used to interpret digit sequences that will be used to decide on routing.
In most cases, simplified expressions consisting of literals, prefixes, and fixed patterns will suffice.
—Literals: If you want to match a specific number, just enter the exact number (e.g., 911). The
literal will be the first match in the expression.
—Prefixes: Prefixes allow you to route numbers that begin with identical prefixes through the
same trunk. For example, by specifying the common prefix 9011 in the pattern field, all international numbers will be routed through the same trunk. To indicate that a prefix is being using, an
asterisk must be entered after the prefix (e.g., 9011*).
—Fixed patterns: If you use an x in a pattern, the system will treat it as a wildcard for 0-9. For
example, 978xxxxxxx will route all calls beginning with the area code 978 through the same
trunk.
Replacement: The replacement string is used to convert digit sequences into a dial string for out-
bound calling. It is used in the To header as well as in the Request-URI. Replacement strings are
found in the second part of the dial plan entry and are marked by a leading \
ReplacementDefinition
d
The d replacement inserts the name of the registrar.
Example: !*!sip:\1@\d!
This replacement string inserts the domain name behind the @ symbol.q
36
Page 45
Numbers are back references to match-groups of the regEx part according to RFC2915.
Example: !(.+)!sip:\1! inserts a sip: before the string (which is
the first match).
Flags: Flags set additional processing attributes. The following flags are available:

Dail Plan Examples
Table 1 Examples of Dial Plans
GoalPattern and Result
To make the phone dial a number when the pound (#) key is
pressed.
To match an international numberPut the 011 pattern at the front of the pattern:
To add area codesExample 1: If the phone number has digits between 3 and 6,
Indicates that the number is complete and can be dialed.
Example: |([0-9]{5})|sip:\1@test.com|d means that a number
with five digits will be dialed automatically.
Indicates that the comparisons should be done case-insensitive.
!([^#]+)#!sip:\1@\d!d
The dial plan entry will look for a pattern ending in a pound (#)
symbol and will use this as the user name in a SIP URI (not including the # symbol).
|^011([0-9]*)$|sip:+\1@\d;phone=yes|
then use an area code:
To call a complete URIThis is a little bit more difficult because of the number of allowed
characters in the user name. The following characters can be a
base for such a dial plan entry:
|^([a-zA-Z0-9&=+\$,;?\-_.!~*‘()%]+@.+)|sip:\1|
37
Page 46
snom m9 DECT Administrator Guide
GoalPattern and Result
To use leading zerosIf a number starts with 9 and has at least 8 further digits, then use
a leading zero.
|^9([0-9]{8})$|sip:09\1@\d
If a number has 2 digits, don’t use a leading zero. When more
than 2 digits, use the leading zero:
|^([0-9]{3,})$|sip:0\1@\d
To separate star (*) codes from
standard numbers
Sometimes a dial plan is needed to add a leading 0 to an outgoing number not starting with 0 (e.g., 3039833104) so that
it will be dialed as 03039833104, but you want to make sure
that if the number were 03039833104, that it’s not converted to
003039833104. When this is the case, you could use the following string for this purpose:
|^([1-9]{2})([0-9]{6,})$|sip:0\1\2@\d
But if a star code is followed by a destination, e.g., *7939833452,
it is not desired to convert it to 07939833452 because the PBX
is expected to get the whole string and use it accordingly. Hence,
we can concatenate a plan to the one above to make provision for
such exceptions:
Dial plans can also be particularly useful for providing emergency calling services (e.g., 911, 112, 999) in VoIP
networks. The following examples indicate how dial plans may be used on the snom m9 to provide emergency
calling services.

LDAP
LDAP, or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is an Internet protocol that clients can use to look up information from a server. The snom m9 base station supports LDAP server configuration for each SIP identity (shown
below). This enables the base station to perform LDAP look-ups for incoming calls. Configuration details are
outlined in Table 3.

IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) during 1991–1997 to deal with the longanticipated IPv4 address exhaustion; however, the advantages of IPv6 exceed the increased address space
(from 32-bit to 128-bit). The primary advantages are detailed below:

Extensibility optionsEfficient and extensible IP datagram
Address Assignment and Auto Configuration
The snom m9 is IPv6-ready so it can automatically assign an IPv6 address to the device over DHCPv6, and
when connected to an IPv6 network, it can configure itself automatically using Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) router discovery messages. The Dual IP Stack allows the snom m9 to maintain IPv4
and IPv6 interfaces in parallel.
Dual IP Stack
The ability to perform DHCPv6/ICMPv6 queries simultaneously with the IPv4 DHCP queries allows the snom
m9 to maintain multiple IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces in parallel.
43
Page 52
snom m9 DECT Administrator Guide
DNS
Support for IPv6 naturally allows the snom m9 to perform AAAA queries for IPv6 address lookups. For routing
packets to IPv6 destinations, snom m9 uses its local IPv6 interface, if available.
SIP
Depending on the type of address returned (IPv4 or IPv6) for a SIP server, the snom m9 automatically selects
the corresponding IP interface for registration. SIP packet addresses and headers are also automatically substituted with the appropriate IP interface. Following is a REGISTER sample:

Speed Dialing
This feature allows the m9 handset to perform single-digit dialing to SIP URIs or E164 numbers. This function
is particularly useful for phone users who dial certain numbers on a regular basis. Every SIP Identity provides
up to 10 speed dials for the handset.
To use the speed dialing feature of the snom m9, simply configure a number or SIP URI in one of the speed
dial entries. To place a call to the speed dial destination, simply dial the corresponding digit on the handset.
E.g., in the example shown below, the user would dial “1” on the handset to call sip:Rachel.Reed@snom.com
Note: SIP URIs used as speed dial destinations must be configured with a “sip:” prefix.

vCards
A vCard, or “virtual business card,” is a means of allowing users to exchange personal information with each
other. vCards carry vital directory information about the user, such as name, address, telephone number, etc.,
so vCards can be especially helpful when creating address books in applications, like the m9 DECT phone,
that support the vCard format. The following instructions show you how to save Microsoft Outlook information
into the vCard format (.vcf) and then import it to a SIP identity on the m9.
Note: If the vCard includes the calling party’s picture, the picture will be displayed on the snom m9 handset
when the contact calls. See Page 67 for more information.
