Product Information
Full details
The Snom M5 DECT Repeater is designed for businesses and individuals needing to extend the coverage of their existing Snom M700 or M300 DECT base stations. Its primary benefit is significantly increasing mobile coverage across multiple floors or large buildings without requiring additional Ethernet cabling. A key consideration is that it's an extension device and requires a compatible Snom base station to function. This repeater enhances seamless roaming, ensuring uninterrupted calls as users move between areas.

Troubleshooting
Repeater not registering with base station
Ensure the repeater is powered on and within the initial range of the base station during setup. Verify that the base station firmware is up-to-date and that the repeater is compatible. Consult the base station's administration guide for specific registration steps.
Poor call quality or dropped calls
Reposition the repeater to ensure it's within a strong signal area of the base station and is effectively covering the desired dead zone. Check for sources of radio interference. Ensure no more than 5 simultaneous calls are active on the network segment served by the repeater.
Repeater LED indicators are off or blinking erratically
Check the power connection. If the issue persists, try a different power outlet. If the problem continues, the repeater may require service.
Cannot move between base stations/repeaters without losing connection
Verify that the repeater is correctly configured to extend the network and that there are no significant gaps in coverage between the base station and the repeater, or between multiple repeaters. Ensure the base station supports seamless handover and that the repeater is properly registered.
