How do I synchronize my contacts with the snom phonebook?

Benefits

• Resolve caller names when ringing
• Select contacts by navigating from the snom phonebook

Option A (CSV Import)

After a successful sync (target: sync.blue® address book), you can easily download your snom-compatible phonebook as a CSV file and simply import it as a phonebook on the snom phone.

Steps

1. In the sync.blue® Dashboard: Create a new connection with the target "snom (via sync.blue® address book and CSV)" that synchronizes your contact source into the target "sync.blue® address book" and wait for the sync process to complete.
2. Download the CSV file: 
   Example: https://addressbook.sync.blue/api/contacts/<UID>/snom/v2?token=<Token>
3. In the snom phone's web interface: import the CSV file. 
   Example URL: http://192.168.178.147/adr.htm
   
   
    

Option B (XML Phonebook)

Setup in the snom Web Interface

Certificates

• Upload the current sync.blue® address book SSL certificate here: http://YOUR-SNOM-IP-ADDRESS/certificates_server_certs.htm
•  Also upload the current sync.blue® CA certificate on the same page.

The result should look like this:

Function Key

• Assign the "Directory" ("Phonebook") function key on the page http://YOUR-SNOM-PHONE-IP/fkey.htm  as key type "Action URL" with the URL https://addressbook.sync.blue/api/contacts/<UID>/snom/v1&token=<Token>

The result should look like this:

Known limitations of the snom XML phonebook

• When ringing, the name is not displayed on the phone screen based on the XML phonebook.
• Contacts cannot be searched via snom key input (only via scrolling is possible).

Option C (LDAP)

1. Open the "Advanced Settings" via the snom web interface and enter the following parameters under the heading "LDAP":

2. Save the new settings and confirm applying them.

3. Open the menu item Setup -> Function keys and assign the dedicated "Directory" key with the "Key Event" named "LDAP Directory":

4. Save this page and apply the changes.

More information can be found in the general guide to synchronizing contacts with an LDAP directory.

Compatibility

This guide was tested with a snom D765, Firmware snom D765-SIP 10.1.73.22.

Known limitations

• The connection to the sync.blue® LDAP server is unencrypted.
• Currently not compatible:
  • snom M900 (because snom uses the LDAP attribute "givenName" instead of "gn")
