[asterisk-biz] Barcode/MAC address scanning for SIP Handsets

[Mark White]

A while ago we went looking for an iPhone barcode-scanning tool that
recognised MAC addresses, and didn't find one. If you've ever deployed
multiple Cisco/SNOM etc handsets at once you'll appreciate a tiresome
process of transcribing MAC addresses from the handsets or their packaging
for transfer to your provisioning tools.

We took it upon ourselves to solve this problem, and can now announce the
availability of Locibar v1.02 on the iTunes AppStore. You can check it out
at http://locibar.com or http://twitter.com/locibarapp.

Locibar is the ultimate assistant for installing IP phones from Cisco, Snom
or Polycom. Locibar lets you scan barcodes from handsets or their boxes,
recognises MAC address (and other) data fields, and allows you to tag
individual handsets with extension data. Finally, individual handsets or
batches of handsets can be transmitted as CSV, XML, JSON or HTTP Post to
your provisioning systems.

Locibar takes the pain away from collecting data and streamlines the IP
handset provisioning process. You don't need any scanning hardware, nor any
specific provisioning tools. You just scan the handset(s), add any
extension data, and send it to your favourite provisioning tools as CSV,
XML or JSON-encoded data.

So no more manual collection of MAC addresses, or collation of
spreadsheets. Simply scan and provision. Locibar has been tested with Cisco
Small Business IP Phones, Snom and Polycom handsets, and available now in
English, French, Portuguese and Traditional Chinese.

Contact us if you would like us to add support for other handset
manufacturers, or have any queries.

Best regards
