Problem Statement
When consumers install a VoIP phone out of the box, they expect the phone to start
working immediately without any further setup. The plug and play mechanisms of the
snom VoIP phones allow this and the remote controlling capabilities of the snom 4S
components can be used to set up the necessary accounts.
This FAQ is intended as a template for ITSP.
It can be extended and modied to the specic needs of the ITSP. See the FAQ on cControlling
the snom 4S from a Linux Shell and conguring the snom100 for mass deployment.
In this FAQ, we use PHP for answering the requests from the phone during the boot phase.
However, any other mechanism to generate web content dynamically can be used.
For large deployments, the setup needs to integrate a database. This can be done upon
request by snom. However, in this FAQ we use the le system to keep track of the system
setup.
Redirection
This FAQ redirects the phone’s setting URL to a php le with the MAC address as argument.
The le content of snom200.htm is therefore:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC „-//W3C//DTD HTML
4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<pre>
# Redirect all phones to the php script
setting_server: http://snomag.de/snom200/
snom200.php?mac={mac}
