<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I am testing IP Communicator with ASA SSL VPN Client. The IP
Comm phone works fine with calls and voicemails. But I just want to know how to
identify different IP Comm phones. <font color=navy><span style='color:navy'>From
what I tested, the ASA always assigns the same MAC to the vpn client no matter
of IP. So we can not use MAC address of the VPN adapter for identification. We
can use the Ethernet MAC of the client computer as the device name. But it
looks like not very secure, because people can configure his/her IP Comm phone
to use other computer’s Ethernet MAC when the other IP Comm phone is not
registered. Even we set unique device name to each IP Comm phones(not using MAC
address), it also not very nice. How do you deploy IP Communicator in your
network? Have you tried something to prevent people changing the device name of
IP Communicator easily? Thanks.</span></font></span></font></p>
