Telephone Identification By Mac Address; Reading A Mac Address With A Bar Code Scanner - Auerswald COMpact 4000 Operation Manual

Telephone Identification by MAC Address

The MAC address of a telephone is needed to identify a telephone that is assigned to a specific
subscriber. For all transactions between telephone and PBX the PBX must be able to identify
the MAC address of the telephone so that the telephone can be matched to a subscriber and
his/her provisioning data.
If a MAC address has been entered and assigned to a subscriber, the corresponding telephone
can already be provided with provisioning data during its first boot process.
MAC addresses are represented in a byte-by-byte format, with the individual bytes being
separated by colons or hyphens, e. g. 00:09:52:04:4B:13.
Possibilities to read a MAC address:
• Reading with a bar code scanner
• Retrieving from a client certificate
• Manual entry

Reading a MAC Address with a Bar Code Scanner

If the MAC address is printed as bar code on the IP telephones, e. g. on a label on the bottom
of the telephone, you can read and enter this address with a bar code scanner.
Proceed as follows:
• Using the configuration manager
Requirements:
• Bar code scanner enabled and connected to the computer (e. g. via a USB interface)
