Dialogic Corporation — 2 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Dialogic is registered to MAC prefix
00:60:68and 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:60:68, that block was registered by Dialogic — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- 00:60:68 and 00:A0:E6 are each single-organization MA-L blocks (not shared IEEE administrative bases), so a MAC beginning with either prefix directly identifies Dialogic-manufactured telephony hardware. Security posture (verified PowerMedia XMS CVEs, e.g. CVE-2018-11636) ties to the software product, not confirmed against these specific legacy board-era OUIs.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting 00:60:68 or 00:A0:E6 belongs to Dialogic Corporation, historically seen on computer-telephony hardware — voice and fax boards, and later carrier-grade VoIP media gateways and session border controllers. Both blocks are single-organization IEEE MA-L registrations, so the attribution is direct rather than a shared administrative base.
The two prefixes carry two different registered addresses, but these map to one continuous corporate lineage rather than to unrelated companies. 00:A0:E6 is registered to 1515 Route 10, Parsippany, NJ — the original Dialogic Corporation/Intel Media & Signaling Division address. 00:60:68 is registered to 9800 Cavendish Blvd, Montreal, Quebec — Eicon Networks Corporation's HQ; Eicon bought Intel's Dialogic-branded telephony-board business in 2006 and renamed itself Dialogic Corporation, later folding in Cantata Technology (Excel Switching, Brooktrout, Snowshore) and NMS Communications.
Dialogic is not defunct. Enghouse Systems Limited acquired the company for roughly US$52-54M, closing January 2, 2020, and it now operates as "Enghouse Dialogic" with an active, maintained product line: BorderNet Session Border Controllers, PowerMedia XMS media servers, IMS/VoLTE signaling components, and legacy Brooktrout fax and PCI/PCIe voice boards.
Security context is mixed confidence. PowerMedia XMS has verified CVEs — for example CVE-2018-11636, a CSRF flaw in its admin console rated CVSS 8.8 (HIGH) — but these tie to the software product, not confirmed against the specific legacy board-era OUIs covered here. No malware, botnet, or default-credential reports were found tied to either prefix itself.

- Security note
- CVE-2018-11636 (CSRF in PowerMedia XMS ≤3.5 admin console, CVSS 8.8 HIGH) is a verified NVD entry for Dialogic's software product; not confirmed as tied to the legacy board-era OUIs 00:60:68/00:A0:E6 specifically [Likely] — https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-11636
- Registration date note
- IEEE's public the IEEE MA-L registry (Registry, Assignment, Organization Name, Organization Address columns only) publishes no assignment/registration date for either prefix; no third-party date artifact was found on the checked maclookup.app page to flag against[Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry, https://maclookup.app/macaddress/00A0E6/mac-address-details
- Analyst note
- 00:60:68 and 00:A0:E6 are each single-organization MA-L blocks, not shared IEEE administrative bases, so identifying a MAC by either prefix as Dialogic-manufactured hardware is a direct attribution, not an inference across a shared range [Confirmed] — the IEEE MA-L registry
