[cisco-voip] IP Communicator and MAC Addresses.

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I had thought about this as well, not just about laptop with wired or wireless, but also with home PC - you'd need a different device for each. I was thinking about a phantom MAC address that you could program and configure the client with. Problem with that is, you would have to make them random enough to (a) not interfere with actual MAC addresses and (b) not be easily guessed. Since there is no security with IP communicator, all  you need to do is configure your client with someone else's MAC address and you login with their phone.

If someone has found a workaround to this little bug, or if I am totally off the wall on this, please, let me know!

  I am having a problem with the IP Communicator; my problem is that it is registered to the MAC Address of the LAN NIC Card on a laptop. If the person that uses this laptop wants to use his/her wireless card then it does not see it as being registered because it is a different MAC.

   

  Does any know of a work around for this, I thought of maybe putting 2 for each laptop in Call Manager with a shared line but it seems to me there should be an easier way.

   

   

  Thanks,

  Danny
