Sometimes, it can be really useful to be able to have a look at the phone's screen when you are not in the same location. E.g. if you are a VAR setting up a phone system for a customer, or you are working at a helpdesk and you need to understand what your client is seeing on his phone.

With the built-in web server, it is very easy to have a look at a Snom phone's screen - and not only the main screen.



D1xx, D3xx and D7xx

To be able to see the screen(s) of the phone, the phone needs to be in admin mode. 

You can display all available screens of the phone, just type into your web browser:

Main Screen

This works for all D1xx, D3xx and D7xx Snom desk phones, both with LCD or TFT display

Example of a D717 screen:



It can also be used to see the display of a D3, D7 or D7C expansion module as below

And to see the secondary display of a phone if it has one 

Second Screen (fkey labelling), e.g. D345/D745

D86x

On the phones from the D86x series you can simply use the web interface to see the phone's display remotely

Just use the menu on the left and head into the Maintenance→Phone Screen page as below
