Removing MAC address from Inventory
In case a WLP accidentally deletes a domain with phones added. When re-creating the domain and adding the phones, they would get the message prompting that the MAC address already exists in the Manager Portal. Here are the steps:
- 1Go here
- 2Filter the MAC address one by one that was provided from the WLP
- 3Once you have filtered the MAC address, you will notice that it has no domain which is why the WLP cannot make any changes.
- 4Click Delete and advise the WLP to try adding the phones again

Removing MAC address from NDP
If deleting the MAC address from the Manager Portal does not delete, you will then have to try via NDP.
- 1Hover over Configurations on the top left
- 2Click Devices (Phones & ATAs)
- 3Filter the MAC address with no colons (:) on the Filters MAC field
4. Once filtered, click the device mode l of the MAC address and click delete
5. Advise the WLP to try adding the phones again
