Hi,
In a per phone configuration, {MAC_ADDRESS}.cfg file has a "variable" PHONE_MAC_ADDRES that expands to the phone's mac address.
I've tried using this in a user profile configuration file (used in hoteling/hot desking). But it does not ssem to expand in such configuration files.
Something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<User_CONFIG>
<OVERRIDES
prov.login.localPassword="XXX"
reg.1.displayName="201"
reg.1.address="201"
reg.1.label="201"
reg.1.auth.userId="201/[PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS]"
reg.1.auth.password="XXX"
msg.mwi.1.subscribe="201"
/>
</User_CONFIG>
Is there any variable that I can use in this situation?
Thanks,
Cristi

Hello Christi,
welcome back to the Polycom Community.
Not knowing what software you are currently running I simply quote page 369 from the UCS 4.0.1 Admin Guide:
You can also add variables to the master configuration file that are replaced when the phone reboots. The variables include PHONE_MODEL, PHONE_PART_NUMBER, and PHONE_MAC_ADDRESS.
These variables are only used there an not anywhere else to my knowledge.
Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.
