Foreword - Snom 100 Administrator's Manual

Congratulations on the purchase of your snom 100 Voice over IP
telephone!
Telephony is part of our every day life. Over a period of more
than 100 years a communication form has evolved which we feel cannot
be dismissed. In spite of the new technology base of the snom 100 most
of its look and feel will be very familiar and intuitive to you.
On the other hand, the world of the Internet opens a whole range
of new possibilities. A lot of users are using web browsers and own one or
more email accounts. They will fi nd it easy to manage the phone via its
web interface or to make a call to "sip:john@domain.de" for example.
We are confi dent that the developments in the computer industry
will follow suit in the telecom world.
VoIP is not only about transporting speech over data networks.
It is about interoperability and breaking up a vertical market as well as
streamlining business processes by seamlessly integrating the telephone
into the computer networks and applications. With its technical fl exibility,
our commitment to all open and relevant standards and our cooperation
with other vendors of the VoIP industry, the snom 100 represents a safe
investment for the future.
Now, we wish you a pleasurable experience in the VoIP world.
