By default, the hostname is SmartServer. The URL of the SmartServer is
the hostname followed by the DNS suffix. For example, if the hostname
is SmartServerAlpha and the domain suffix is ABCcorp.com, the URL
would be SmartServerAlpha.ABCcorp.com.
Set a unique hostname if you want to have the DHCP server register the
hostname with the DNS server, or when you want to manually register
with the DNS server administrator.
The hostname must start with a letter and it may include numbers, letters,
and hyphens, but it cannot include underscores or spaces. The maximum
hostname length is 19 characters.

SmartServer to implement the changes.
