\"Programming<\/p>\n

The Snom 300 <\/strong>has everything you could ask for in a budget-minded, business class SIP desk phone…..Dual RJ45 Ethernet Ports, 2-Line LCD Display, Power Over Ethernet and G.729a support<\/a>. At a street price of $119.95, the Snom 300 represents a tremendous value.<\/p>\n

The only gripe I have heard levied against the Snom 300 is the lack of a pre-programmed “hold” key on the phone. Turns out, this is an easy fix….thanks goes out to Tom Ostrander, Eastern Regional Channel Manager at Snom<\/a> for sharing the workaround with us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is how you would program one of the function buttons into a hold button on a Snom 300:<\/p>\n

1. You can reprogram any of the following four buttons on the Snom 300 into a hold button: Redial, Directory, Transfer, Mute (you can also change Line 1 & Line 2 but I don\u2019t know why you would want to do that).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Go to the web GUI for the phone (by typing the IP address for your Snom 300 into the web browser on your computer)<\/p>\n

3. Go to Function Keys<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. You will make the change under the column for number, the change will be to F-R for whichever key you want to change to hold. For example if you want to change the Directory key to the hold button you would change F_ADR_Book to F_R<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. PRESS SAVE. The directory button is now a hold button and you can re-label it if you would like to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
