Network Requirements - Snom M100 KLE Administrator And Provisioning Manual

Network Requirements

A switched network topology is recommended for your LAN (using standard 10/100
Ethernet switches that carry traffic at a nominal rate of 100 Mbit/s).
The office LAN infrastructure should use Cat.-5/Cat.-5e cable.
The M100 KLE requires a wired connection to the LAN. However, wireless connections
from your LAN to other devices (such as laptops) in your office will not impede performance.
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is recommended and must be on
the same subnet as the M100 KLE 4-Line base stations so that IP addresses can be
auto-assigned. In most cases, your network router will have a DHCP server. By default, the
M100 KLE has DHCP enabled for automatic IP address assignment.
If no DHCP server is present, you can assign a static IP to the M100 KLE. You can assign
a static IP address using the M100 KLE menu. To assign a static IP: On the
handset/deskset Main menu, go to Admin settings > Network setting > IPv4 (or IPv6) >
Set static IP.
If you do not have a DHCP server or do not manually assign static IPs, you will not be able
to access the WebUI and/or enable automatic time updates from an NTP server.
A DNS server is recommended to resolve the path to the Internet and to a server for
firmware and configuration updates. If necessary, the system administrator can also
download upgrade files and use the WebUI to update the M100 KLE firmware and/or
configuration settings manually
Introducing the M100 KLE
Some DHCP servers have default settings that limit the number of network IP
addresses assigned to devices on the network. You should log in to your server
to confirm that the IP range is sufficient.
