Displaying the MAC Address of a Phone

The Media Access Control (MAC) address comprises a unique, 12-character, hexadecimal number that identifies a Cisco IP phone or other hardware device. Locate the number on a label on the bottom of the phone (for example, 000B6A409C405 for Cisco IP Phone 7900 Family models or SS-00-0B-64-09-C4-05 for Cisco IP Phone models SP 12+ and 30 VIP).

Cisco CallManager makes the MAC address a required field for Cisco IP phone device configuration. When entering the MAC address in Cisco CallManager fields, do not use spaces or dashes and do not include the "SS" that may precede the MAC address on the label.

To display the MAC address when the phone is powered on, perform the following steps:

•Cisco IP Phone 7960 and 7940 models—Press Settings, use the arrow buttons to highlight the Network Configuration menu option, and press the Select softkey.

•Cisco IP Phone 7910 — Press Settings, use the arrow buttons to locate Network Config options, and press 6 on the phone keypad to begin displaying the Network Config options; then, use the arrow keys to scroll the Network Config option display to the MAC address.

•Cisco IP Phone models 12 SP+ and 30VIP—Press ** to display the MAC address on the second line of the LCD display.

For more information about displaying additional configuration settings on Cisco IP phones, refer to the Cisco IP Phone 7900 Family Administration Guide and the individual Getting Started publications provided with Cisco IP phones.
