Since the launch of the Snom 870 VoIP Phone this year, many ProVu and ProTalk resellers have used the Snom 870 for large scale installations.

Virtual BLF keys and the 'drag and drop' touch screen features have proved popular along receptionists. The added conferencing bridge for 5 way conferencing is great for the executive business user.

Added security features such as incorporation of 'secure client certificate authentication' into the Snom 8xx series are also attracting more Snom users than before who may have chosen an alternative when looking at the 3xx series.

Snom Tip - 7.3.30 Firmware Release

snom320

The latest firmware release of 7.3.30 is now available for 3xx Series VoIP phones.

To upgrade you also importantly need to get a U Bootloader.

To upgrade visit the following URL and find the link for your Snom phone model:http://snom.provu.co.uk/sw/


Alternatively, if you have a large deployment of phones you wish us to manage, then ask us to update them through our provisioning service.

ProVu can offer scheduled overnight firmware upgrades for Snom phones. If we manage your phones, we can configure such that firmware upgrades happen out of business hours. Your customers won't ring your support desk when a phone suddenly starts upgrading in the middle of the day.

Please contact us to discuss your automatic configuration options.
