Terminal Hostname - Siemens HIPATH 8000 HIPATH 8000 Administrator's Manual

Terminal Hostname

• This field ist provided with the E164 number but you can change it. En-
ter a new hostname for the telephone. The hostname is transmitted to
the DHCP server together with the MAC address while the telephone
registers at the DHCP server. The DHCP server sends an IP address to
the telephone; at the same time, it transmits this IP address together
with the host name to the DNS server, where this association is regis-
tered. Within the DNS server's range, the telephone can now be ad-
dressed using its host name.
• If Mobility is unsing, the hostname is overwriten by the current E164
number of the Mobility user if the option "Use E164 as hostname" is
enabled. The new hostname can be used to open the WBM of the
phone in the browser.
• DHCP has to be activated to enable this feature.
Scenarios for "Terminal Hostname" handling:
• In the default state, the option "Use E164 as hostname" is activated and
the default host name set. If the E164 entry is input or modified, this
value is transferred to the "Terminal Hostname" field.
• The terminal host name can be modified by the administrator, even if
the option "Use E164 as hostname" is activated. This modification is
possible both via the telephone menu and via the web interface.
• Modification for a mobile user is only possible via DLS if the option
"Use E164 as hostname" is deactivated.
• Once a value has been entered to the "Terminal Hostname" field, it is
no longer possible to set this field to ZERO, not even via DLS.
• If a terminal host name is to be modified via DLS, the option "Use E164
as hostname" must be deactivated for this purpose.
• If the option "Use E164 as hostname" is activated for a mobile user, the
E164 number of the mobile user is entered to the "Terminal Hostname"
field when the data is downloaded.
• If the option "Use E164 as hostname" is deactivated for a mobile user,
the value in the "Terminal Hostname" field is not modified when the
data is downloaded. This can be useful when a device name is as-
signed to the IP address in the DNS, for example.
• If the option "Use E164 as hostname" was deactivated for a basic user,
the value stored in the "Terminal Hostname" field is used when the data
is downloaded (e.g. device name).
