Device SEP ID Field

[dkgroot]

When creating a new device it only asks for the MAC address of the device and then proceeds to call it SEPxxxxxxx in the list and displays it in this strange 4,4,4 representation when you click the device edit button. There are some things that trouble me a little with this.

1. If MAC representation is what we wanted we would expect : as the separator (right).
2. Some SCCP devices don't use SEPxxxxxx as their identifier, for example
   • The Voice Gateways (VG224 / VG248), are represented as VGxxxxxxxxx (and for each attached analog phone, they tack on 2 more digits to the address).
   • The two port Ata186 / Ata188 do the same and their references start with ATAxxxxxxxxx (And the last digit is altered depending on the port used).
   • There might be others i am currently not aware of.

Proposed Solution:

• Call the field "Device Identifier" (dropping the SEP part)
• For the ATA /VG it seems to change the representation in the list automatically, so that part already works. But the column is called Device SEP ID (So mostly cosmetic)
• To support multi port devices like ATA and VG it might be nice if you could auto generate all the entries based on the number of ports it has. For example on the VG248 you would have to manually add 48 VG Phone's manually. (Enhancement)

Left over part of the original ticket might be:

If you like we can put that in a new ticket.
