Dhcp Option 12 Hostname For The Configuration Server - Aastra CT9143i Release Note

DHCP Option 12 Hostname for the Configuration Server

Release 2.3 includes a new DHCP Option 12 that the phone automatically sends to the
configuration server. This option specifies the hostname (name of the client). The name may or
may not be qualified with the local domain name (based on RFC 2132). See RFC 1035 for
character set restrictions.
An Administrator can change the "Hostname" for the DHCP Option 12 via the configuration files,
the IP Phone UI, and the Aastra Web UI.

populates the field on initial startup of the phone. For example, for a 53i,
the "Hostname" field is automatically populated as "53i00085D164435",
where the model number is "53i" and the MAC address is
"00085D164435".
2. If the configuration server sends the hostname back to the phone
in a DHCP Reply Packet, the hostname is ignored.
