I just started trying out VOIP to PSTN as I needed to use outlook 2010 to dial a number, over the office network and through the PSTN. I am using a new Linksys 3102, 3cx Version 10, 3cx Myphone with desktop component and outlook TAPI. Following the configuration guides I am able to setup and successfully dial out from my home (as a testground). Lets call this setup A.
192.168.1.99 - Linksys SPA 3102 (static IP), hostname : LinksysSPA3102 (under the WAN setup->Optional Settings)
192.168.1.76 - Lenovo T420s, (this changes by DHCP) hostname: RYANT420s
However, I cannot find a way to use the Gateway Hostname to register the PSTN gateway using the SPA3102. Only IP address such as 192.168.1.99 works (ie setup A). On the SPA3102 side, I can successfully use the hostname of my laptop running the 3cx Phone System. Example my laptop hostname is T420s.
The problem is that when I bring this same setup to my office, the IP address changed for the SPA3102 because the IP address is 192.168.100.x instead of the 192.168.1.x I used in my home. This changes in IP means that I have to change the settings in the SPA3102, 3cx Phone system AND re-run the MyPhone setup, then uninstall, reinstall desktop component again.
Is there a way to use the Gateway Hostname of the SPA3102 instead of it's IP when adding the PSTN gateway in the 3CX phones system?
I had googled for several days and had tried several methods in various forums and none worked. Perhaps I have missed out something regards the hostname and domain. If I am successful, I can bring my laptop and SPA3102 from home to office and use it when IP changes at different location.
Any information or pointers greatly appreciated. Thank you
