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

Assign function keys on snom IP phones with sipgate – set up BLF, speed dial, and 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:

• Recording

• Toggle

• 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 using a key shortcut, please proceed as shown above for the P1 to P12 keys . In doing so, simply replace the example phone numbers with the phone numbers to which you want to forward calls.

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

Tip: You can find an overview of the key shortcuts under the following link:
