IP Communicator Device Name

tgalan · ‎06-17-2008

One of the biggest hurdles to our deployment of Cisco IP Communicator is getting the correct MAC address from the user. Does the Device Name need to be based upon a MAC address? We have tried a randomly generated device name with alphanumeric characters and the application still seems to work.

Thanks!

It can be device names. I use it all the time. Mac is always a pain.

i agree with shanky, even my IPC is not based on the MAC from my laptop =), IT told me what to use as device name and it works like a charm

it's also really useful if you keep going between wired and wireless like me
