Table 9: Hardware ID screen

Selection	Description
Hardware ID	This box contains the MAC address for the Ethernet
	hardware installed in your device. MVC 2050 uses the
	MAC address of the Ethernet hardware as its
	Hardware ID. You can change this value if there is
	more than one MAC address, or if the device is using
	an Extranet client that hides the true MAC address.
	For example, the Nortel Contivity Extranet Switch
	uses a single MAC address for all clients. This can
	cause connection problems with your communication
	server.
Auto-Create	This changes the MAC address that appears in the
	Hardware ID box. If your device has more than one
	MAC address, press the Auto-Createbutton to cycle
	through the set of MAC addresses on your computer.
	Auto-Create also makes up random Hardware IDs, in
	case the Ethernet hardware addresses are not unique
	to the communication server.
Firmware	Shows the build number of MVC 2050 installed on
Version	your device. This value is the version number of the
	application last reported by the server.

Connection history

Connection history writes indication messages to the registry key “\HKCU\Software\Nortel Networks\MVC2050\Log” for connection or disconnection events. This is a circular queue of 29 entries.

Each time a connection or disconnection event occurs, a log entry is written. The entries contain a date and time, and a description of the connection or disconnection event.

The following section describes connection and disconnection events.
