Hi all,

I'm hoping someone from Aastra could help me out. I have seen that I can specify the hostname to use in the config file that will replace the default of .

I'd like to replace it with . Is it possible or can I only hardcode it with values? i.e. hostname: 2000-55i

Thanks,

I think the most professional way is to configure your DNS to autogenerate a hostname.

How would setting the hostname on the device help you if the corresponding record was not in your DNS?

I'm planning on allowing non-secure updates to my DNS server so that the device updates DNS server with it's record...

Use Aastra's web configurator

If you use Aastra's web configurator you can manually set the "hostnme" under Network Settings.

At least I can under Aastra's 57i and 6757i and have the newest software for the phone you have.
