Hardware ID

Note: This dialog box is intended for expert users only.
Use the Hardware ID dialog box to select the hardware address reported to your communications
server. The Hardware ID text box displays the current hardware address.

MAC addresses

The IP Softphone 2050 default IP address comes from your Ethernet hardware, as a Medium
Access Control (MAC) address. If several Ethernet interfaces are installed, then the IP Softphone
2050 chooses the first MAC address it detects and uses that address in all subsequent
re-connections.
Note: Some Virtual Private Network (VPN) clients hide their MAC
addresses. In this case, you must override the default value to prevent
problems communicating with the server.

Selecting MAC addresses

To select a MAC address
1
Click Auto-Create. The Hardware ID text box displays the next address in a range of
addresses.
2
Continue clicking Auto-Create to move through the range of available addresses, until you
find the one you need.
After you click through all available MAC addresses, Auto-Create generates random hardware ID
numbers. Select one of these numbers if your Ethernet hardware address is not unique to the
server.
To return the settings to their installation defaults, click Restore Defaults.
To reset the Hardware ID while the IP Softphone 2050 is running, click Reset.
Note: The Firmware Version field displays the latest IP Softphone 2050
firmware version reported by the server.
