Defining the fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) identifies servers in your messaging network. If desktop messaging, My CallPilot, or VPIM Networking are used on your local server, you must configure the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the local server, and .each remote server.

Enter the computer name and domain for CallPilot. If you do not know what the FQDN is, to find it use the ‘ipconfig/all’ command from a DOS window, or get the information from the appropriate ‘properties’ window.

 Do not continue configuring the system if you do not have the proper FQDN.

To define the FQDN for the local server

Messaging > Message Network Configuration

1. In the Local Server Maintenance tree, click the local server.

2. Click Show Details. The Server Properties page appears.

3. In the VPIM section, type the local server’s FQDN in the Server FQDN box.
   
   The FQDN must match the host and domain name defined in the DNS configuration on the CallPilot server.

4. Click Save.

   The FQDN must match the host and domain name defined in the DNS configuration on the CallPilot server.
