Basic Usage
First, set up the snom http password:

Afterwards, you can test it by trying to call a number of your choice, e.g.
desk_phone_utility "tel:+49 800 3301000"
Finally, for example in Mozilla Firefox, if you encounter a tel: link and get the
prompt for the application to open the link with, select desk_phone_utility.
If you don’t know where it is located, just run
which desk_phone_utility
to find out.
