the form of text or symbols or both.
Info/status bar. Name of current activity and time.
Context area
Depending on the activity, this area will contain symbols (incoming call ringing, outgoing call
ringing, list entries, etc.) and text like the phone number calling, the extension number being called,
conference partners, etc. Depending on the context, the SmartLabels may or may not be shown.
Function key line
Depending on the current activity of the phone, the key function key line will present various functions
that can be activated by pressing the function key underneath the respective symbol. See "Appendix
1 - Display Symbols and Icons" on page 76 for a list of available functions.

User mode/administrator mode

Snom phones can be operated in administrator or user mode. In administrator mode, all settings are
accessible and can be modified; in user mode, a number of settings are not accessible. The factory
default is user mode.
For the D8xx series phones, user and administrator mode on the phone and on the web interface are
set independently of each other. If the phone is running in user mode, you will still able to open the
phone manager in admin mode if you have the admin name and password.
When the phone is running in user mode, the administrator password is required to switch to
administrator mode. If your phone is administered centrally, user mode may be the rule. Please
check with your network administrator or IP provider.
When the web interface is opened for the first time upon initialization or after a reboot, you will see
the Phone Manager. See "Initialization" on page 16 for further information.

User names and passwords

We urge you to set an administrator PIN and an HTTP password to protect your phone. There are no
default passwords. Please note:
◦
Administrator PIN. If you do not set an administrator password, an unauthorized third party
with access to the phone could set an administrator password unknown to you. In such a
case, you would no longer be able to switch from user mode to administrator mode to regain
access to all phone settings.
◦
HTTP user name and HTTP password. If you do not set these, you make it easier for
experienced hackers to break into your system.
Note: Be sure to write down your admin password and your HTTP user name and
password and store them in a secure place.
Without the administrator PIN, you will not be able to return the phone and the web
interface from user mode to administrator mode; many settings will be inaccessible.
Without HTTP user name and password you cannot open the phone's web interface.
