Displaying the MAC Address of a Phone
The Media Access Control (MAC) address comprises a unique, 12-character,
hexadecimal number that identifies a Cisco IP Phone or other hardware device.
Locate the number on a label on the bottom of the phone (for example,
000B6A409C405 for Cisco IP Phone 7900 family models or
SS-00-0B-64-09-C4-05 for Cisco IP Phone models SP 12+ and 30 VIP).
Cisco CallManager makes the MAC address a required field for Cisco IP Phone
device configuration. When entering the MAC address in Cisco CallManager
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, refer to the Cisco IP
Phone documentation that supports your phone model. The following examples
show steps that you may perform for the Cisco IP Phone models 12 SP+ and 30
VIP or Cisco VG248 phone ports:
•
Cisco IP Phone models 12 SP+ and 30 VIP—Press ** to display the MAC
address on the second line of the LCD display.

Adding a Phone
Before a Cisco IP Phone can be used, you must use this procedure to add the
phone to Cisco CallManager. You can also use this procedure to configure H.323
clients, CTI ports, Cisco ATA 186 telephone adapter, or the Cisco VG248 Analog
Phone Gateway (each of the 48 ports is recognized and configured as a phone).
H.323 clients can be Symbol NetVision phones or Microsoft NetMeeting clients.
CTI ports designate virtual devices that Cisco CallManager applications such as
Cisco SoftPhone and Cisco AutoAttendant use.
Note
If you are planning to use a TAPI application to control CTI port devices that are
using the Cisco TAPI Service Provider (TSP), then you may only configure one
line per CTI port device.

Calling Search Space Choose the appropriate calling search space. A calling
search space comprises a collection of partitions that are
searched for numbers that are called from this directory
number. The value that you choose applies to all devices
that are using this directory number.
Note
Changes result in an update of the numbers that
are listed in the Call Pickup Group field.
You can configure calling search space for Forward All,
Forward Busy, Forward No Answer, and Forward on
Failure directory numbers. The value that you choose
applies to all devices that are using this directory

If you set the Forward All Calling Search Space field to
<none>, Cisco CallManager uses the calling search
spaces of the line and the phone when the user forwards
calls by using the Cisco IP Phone User Options windows
or the CFwdAll softkey on the phone. If you want to
restrict users from forwarding calls on their phones, you
must choose a restrictive calling search space from the
Forward All Calling Search Space field; for example:
You have two calling search spaces: Building and PSTN.
The Building calling search space only allows users to
call within the building, while the PSTN calling search
space allows users to call within and outside the building.
You assign the phone to the PSTN calling search space
and the line on your phone to the Building calling search
