The MAC address of the endpoint (usually located on the bottom or back of the device)
Who the endpoint should be assigned to.

6. Once you click the Save button, you’ll be presented with a configuration page for the IP Endpoint.
7. Click the pencil icon in the top-right corner of the Endpoint Settings container to configure the endpoint.
8. In the Endpoint Settings container, configure the following fields:
Type:
For a Polycom phone, choose Polycom.
For a Yealink phoke, choose Yealink.
