Configuring Network and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Features
Using Option 12 Hostname on the IP Phone
If you set the phone to use DHCP Option 12, the phone automatically sends this 
option 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.
Configuring DHCP Option 12 Hostname on the IP Phone
Use the following procedures to configure DHCP Option 12 Hostname on the IP 
Phone.
Notes: 
1.
The hostname of [<model><MAC address>] automatically 
populates the field on initial startup of the phone. For example, for a 
6753i, the “Hostname” field is automatically populated as 
“53i00085D164435”, where the model number is “6753i” 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.
Configuration Files
For specific parameters you can set in the configuration files, see Appendix A, the section,
