Hi All,
I am currently using CCM 4.0(2a)SR2a & cisco VT Advantage 1.0.2 and I was
wondering if it was possible to "Clear" the Associated Phone "Entry" held by
Cisco VT Advantage application. My understanding is that cisco VT Advantage
use the CDP Packet driver (CdpPacketWdmCvl.sys) to find its "Associated
Phone".

I had a situation today where I connected a PC which already had cisco VT
Advantage installed to a "new" IP Phone with "Video Capabilities" but it did
not find / associate itself to it. The cisco VT Advantage application
persisted in associating itself with "Old" phone was still in operation /
connected to the network (stand-alone, no PC connected to it).

The only possible explanation that I have for this is that the cisco VT
Advantage Application must somehow "cache" the IP Addess / MAC Address of
the first associated IP Phone and it always goes looking for this device
before it looks for a new one. In my case, since the "Old" phone was still
in operation, the cisco VT Advantage Application probably did not go looking
for a new phone. However, as soon as I unplugged the "Old" Phone from the
network, it has no trouble associating itself to the "new" phone.

I guess that this is not a huge issue, but what happens if someone moves
their PC to a new desk with a new IP Phone, Will I always have to take the
old phoen off the air for the cisco VT App to find the new Phone? I Hope not
!!

Your help will be much appreciated.
