
according to the corresponding PO (Purchase Order).
You can find the MAC address on the label of carton box.

What is the difference between user name, register name and display name?
Both user name and register name are defined by the server. A user name is used to identify the
account while a register name matched with a password is used for authentication if required by
the server. Display name is the caller ID that will be displayed on the called party's LCD screen.
Server configuration may override the local configuration.

Display Issues

Why is the LCD screen blank?
Ensure that the phone is properly plugged into a functional AC outlet.

Ensure that the phone is plugged into a socket controlled by a switch that is on.

If the phone is plugged into a power strip, try to plug it directly into a wall outlet instead.

If the phone is powered from PoE, ensure that you use a PoE-compliant switch or hub.
