Displaying the MAC Address of a Phone

The Media Access Control (MAC) address comprises a unique, 12-character,

hexadecimal number that identifies a CiscoIP phone or other hardware device.

Locate the number on a label on the bottom of the phone (for example,

000B6A409C405 for CiscoIP Phone 7900 Family models or

SS-00-0B-64-09-C4-05 for CiscoIP Phone models SP 12+ and 30 VIP).

Cisco CallManager makes the MAC address a required field for CiscoIP phone

device configuration. When entering the MAC address in CiscoCallManager

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 IPphones, refer to the Cisco IP Phone 7900 Family Administration Guide

and the individual Getting Started publications provided with CiscoIP phones.
