So as an example:
I want to use the company domain for the sip domain and I want the sip
sub net to be the same as the LAN (192.168.111.xxx), during install,
when asked for the Network settings, I enter
Hostname: sipx.mycompany.com
IP: 192.168.111.111 (static IP of sipX server)
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.111.1 (static LAN IP of my Sonicwall firewall)
I then select "No - sipx.mycompany.com SHOULD be my DNS server" to
install DNS on the sipX server.
On the next screen I then enter the IP addresses of two DNS servers on
the Internet.
b
Then when asked if I have a DHCP server on my network, I select "No -
sipx.mycompany.com SHOULD be my DHCP server." Now, for my setup, the
Sonicwall has DHCP running on it but only for static IPs within a
specified range. So after the install, I edit the dhcpd.conf file and
change the range of the DHCP server on sipX so there is no overlap. This
allows all dynaic IPs to be handled by the sipX server.
I then select, "First Server"
Then when asked for SIP domain, do I have to enter mycompany.com OR is
entering sipx.mycompany.com expectable?
I then select "Reboot"
On my first login after reboot, I perform a "yum update," reboot again,
and then begin the sipX config via the web interface.
Is there anything wrong with this example?

When you setup sipx, the most reliable way to configure it is:
sipdomain.tld
and hostname.sipdomain.tld as two different values.
when a phone registers it should register to "[email protected]"
Ultimately it DOES NOT MATTER where DHCP and DNS come from, so long as
it is accurate and works without delays. For best performance on a
single system and if there are no network reasons "not to", you are
best off to let sipx handle both services or contains sipx services on
its own vlan so it doesn't interfere. I normally use a subdomain for
sipx services, but not always, and that's "my" way of doing it.
If the phone is registering to the hostname, the phone MWI is to the
domain name and its not answering the challenge for MWI subscription
BECAUSE the subscriber IS [email protected], NOT [email protected].
The reality is all of this is a big exhale... it's all in the wiki.
While there are numerous threads, they all point back to the same
issue. DNS.
This is how I would do i if I were you, but I am not you (since people
tire of my "if it were me...").
I do this the same each and every time. I never have registration
issues. I never have MWI issues and I never have issues calling inside
to other subscribers.

On the install of 4.4, I used the hostname and had the installer
install DHCP and DNS as well. There are no other DNS servers on
the network. This is why I do not understand why I have to 'fix'
my DNS. Isn't sipX supposed to config everything correctly on
install (assuming I entered the right values during setup)?
If using hostname is a valid setup, than why did ext to ext calls
not work without adding DNS aliases under System>Domain (per Tod's
instructions). Tony said I should not have to do that, but instead
I needed to fix my DNS, and, if I understand his last email on
this correctly, this is why the v-mail indicator LED does not
work. But, again, if the install set up the DNS config and I made
no changes then why is DNS broken?
Right now everything works except the v-mail indicator (I've not
completed remote phone testing).
So, being willing to do whatever is needed to get sipX up and
running, I honestly do not care if I use domain or hostname for
setup. Can I easily switch from using hostname to domain without
doing a reinstall?
I'm happy to fix my DNS if someone will help me understand why it
was broken to begin with being that it is the only DNS server on
the network and it was using the default config.

either setup with a domain or you setup with a host name. if you

understand first.
Are you saying that the problem results from my extensions
registering as [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> instead of [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>?
In a previous post I was told by someone that if I have no
intention of adding additional servers, I can use
host.domain.com <http://host.domain.com> as the sip domain
during install instead of domain.com <http://domain.com> and
this is a perfectly acceptable solution and that this results
in basically an A record setup instead of a SRV record setup.
Is this not the case?
You've mentioned a few time that I need to "Fix my DNS,"
which I'm very willing to do, but I've also been told that
the DNS should be setup correctly on install since I'm
installing DNS on the same server during the sipX install.
There are no other DNS servers on the network.
If I have to go back to [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> do I have to do another reinstall or
is there another way to switch over?

I just noticed that since I upgraded sipX to 4.4 and my
Polycom IP 335
phones to firmware 3.2.6 and BootROM 4.2.2, I no longer
get a v-mail
notification on the Phones. The message indicator LED
does not flash and
there is no indication on the display except "1 new
missed call".
I do not know enough yet to know if the issue is with
sipX/Polycom
interoperability or with firmware or with the BootROM.
Any clues?
