How to Auto-Register the Snom M55 SIP Handset to The M500 Base Station

June 30, 2023 by Mary Cheney

To enable call functionality, the Snom M55 SIP DECT Handset requires registration to the base station. Upon initial power-up, the handset will automatically attempt to register to the base station. Successful auto-registration relies on either configuring the M500 file with the handset’s IPEI or inputting the IPEI on the Primary base station’s WebUI.

Below are the steps to Auto-Register your M55 SIP Headset to the M500 Base Station:

  1.  Make sure the base station is connected to power and the network. (Don’t laugh haha people actually forget to do this!!)
  1. If the handset is displaying the following screen:
    1. Wait for the handset to auto-register.
    2. If the IPEI has not been set up in the configuration file (provisioned), or the auto-registration is taking too long, press Cancel.
  1. If the handset is displaying the following screen:
    1. Press Reg. The handset displays the “Register via” menu.
    2. Press or to scroll to Auto reg or IPEI input, and press Sel.
    3. Wait for the handset to auto-register.
    4. If auto-registration is taking too long, press Cancel.

If Registration is Successful (YEAH!):

The handset beeps and displays “Handset registered”, and then displays the idle screen.

If registration fails, don’t panic just yet… you can try these steps:

The handset displays “Registration failed”.

  1. Press OK. The handset displays “Device not registered to base station.” 
  2. Press IPEI to display the handset’s IPEI and serial number. Give these numbers to your phone administrator.
  3. Press Back.

If the auto-registration doesn’t work, you can try to Manually register the device via the LINK key on base station or you can Manually register via the Web UI. These two options are a little more involved, but can be done by following a couple different steps. If you need assistance with the manual configuration, leave a comment below and we can provide you with some additional information.

It’s Time To Migrate – Skype for Business to Teams IP Phones

Are you still using Skype for Business (3PIP) IP phones? If the answer is yes, then you want to ensure those endpoints will still work seamlessly within a Teams environment. Lucky for you, we work with many authorized Microsoft Teams partners and they have put together some great resources that we would like to share with you. 

By migrating your Skype for Business IP phones with standard SIP firmware, Cisco IP phones with multiplatform SIP firmware, or SIP devices from vendors such as Poly, Yealink, and AudioCodes, you can utilize all of the amazing features you are familiar with, such as Team meetings, call transfers, call queues, and voice apps support. 

But let’s be real, migrating systems can be daunting. That’s why it’s important to do your research and make a plan before diving in. You are going to want to start by getting familiar with the Teams SIP Gateway. In short, SIP Gateways allow you to use any of the devices we mentioned above with Microsoft Teams! 

There are some important requirements to keep in mind that you will need to be aware of before starting this migration process to the Teams SIP Gateways. The most important is that the Teams user must have a phone number with PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) calling enabled to even use the SIP Gateway. 

If you are using a 3PIP or SIP device, you MUST have a License for Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business Online Plan 2, Microsoft 356 Phone System (Via E5 or standalone licenses), PSTN enablement via a Microsoft Teams Calling Plan, Direct Routing or Operator Connect and lastly a Microsoft Teams Shared Devices license for any common area devices. For an updated list of compatible devices click here

Some personal advice from my own migrations: don’t be afraid to lean on your IT team or reach out to Microsoft for support. They’re there to help walk you through the process and ensure a smooth transition. Another tip that I wanted to share with you is to check the manufacturer support pages. They tend to have very helpful information on the best way to upgrade your devices to ensure a smooth transition. To help you locate some of these resources, we have listed a couple of links below!

Don’t let the fear of change hold you back. With a little bit of planning and support, migrating your Skype for Business devices to the Microsoft Teams SIP Gateway can be a breeze. So, let’s get to it and embrace the future of workplace communication!
