How do I set up the function keys on the snom phone?

Assign function keys on snom IP phones with sipgate - set up speed dial and call forwarding.

All snom phones (with the exception of the cordless models M3 and M9) allow the function keys to be assigned sipgate functions. The following functions can be assigned to the corresponding keys:

  • Record

  • Call swapping

  • Transfer

  • Conference

To do this, open the web interface of your phone. Select setup and then Function keys. Change the key assignment as shown in the image below:

If, for example, you want to forward a caller directly to a specific extension please proceed as shown above with the keys P1 to P12 In doing so, replace the example numbers simply with the numbers to which you want to forward calls.

Note: The function key type must also be DTMF in this case.\

Tip: An overview of the keyboard shortcuts can be found at the following link:

Starting with P1, select the desired key and define the type as direct dialing (if applicable, SpeedDial). Define at Number the command: *9

Set up call forwarding on function keys

Call forwarding can also be programmed onto one of the freely programmable function keys.

➔ Please log in to the web configuration of the phone.

➔ Select the menu item Function keys.

➔ Select one of the freely programmable keys.

➔ Under Context select the identity for which the forwarding should apply.

➔ Under Type the option Forward to .

➔ Enter under Number the phone number to which calls are to be forwarded.

➔ Enter in the field Short form a unique identifier for you.

➔ Click on Apply\

If you then press the function key, it will light up continuously. The display shows the message at the bottom Forward all: phone number. If multiple identities are stored in the phone, the forwarding is only shown on the display if the relevant identity was selected using the phone's cursor keys.
