Table 3 Hardware ID
Attribute Description
Hardware ID Do not change the information in the first or last box in the Hardware ID field.
The middle box contains the MAC address for the Ethernet card installed in your computer.
The i2050 Software Phone uses the MAC address of the computer as its hardware ID. You may
have to change this value if there is more than one Ethernet card in the PC or if the PC is using an
extranet client which hides the true MAC address. For example, Nortel Networks Contivity
Extranet Switch uses a single MAC address for all clients. This can potentially cause connection
issues with your communications server.
Auto-Create Changes the MAC address that appears in the middle Hardware ID box.
If your computer has more than one Ethernet card; and therefore more than one MAC address;
click the Auto-Create button to cycle through the set of MAC addresses on your computer.
