SV8500 / NEC MH150s / OAI Gateway Remote MAC Need / Network Question

[phone_troll]

Howdy!

How can I pull a MAC from an NEC MH150 remotely,
without calling the user? I have an NEC SV8500, MH150's, an OAI Gateway, NEC WLAN controllers, and Cisco WLAN controllers, AP's, etc. Basically everything Cisco related to support this.

We send paging/text messages to the phones via the MAC, but I have a stubborn user who wont provide his MAC to me. His career depends on this, but I can't tell him that nor convince him to share it otherwise. Short of a 100 mile site visit, and the time to drive there, I want to pull the MAC remotely. Worst case, I ask his boss to get it for me. I am curious.

My MH150/NEC wireless phones show an IP address via DISD -- 10.100.30.55. That IP is on the same VLAN as my PBX. My wireless phone connects to the Wireless_Phone SSID and pulls that IP address range -- 10.100.203.105. Totally different than DISD. I get it.

I've used AngryIP to ping the Wireless range and found host names; an example is "slnk-0d51ce" or slnk + the last 6 of the MAC.

I have a (nearly) live Network Database tool, but searching for the DISD IP definitely isn't what I should be searching for.

Any tips?

There is a Handset Administration Tool (HAT) which may help you. I'm guessing it can be loaded on to a local PC and you can get to it remotely with team viewer or a similar program. I do not know if it will show the MAC address.

Thanks belevedere. Your linked version of HAT is what I regularly use and I see no MAC or Hardware address mentioned within. I also have remote PC access, with administrator privileges, to the network. I don't believe there's anyway for me to pull what I'm looking for with this tool, but maybe I'm missing something?

Maybe there is a command in WIN CMD line that will show MAC address. I am not WIN savy enough to know. There are also some IP address scanners that might do it.

I can pull MAC's from the command line on devices that run a Windows OS. I can scan and pull host names from all the IP phones. I can also cross reference those host names with IPs and get MAC's from those IPs. What I can't do is figure out what IP the phone actually has from any place by DISD and IPAN. But that IP is not the IP of the actual phone, as mentioned.
