Assigning A Port Id To A Handset - Nortel T7406E Installation And Configuration Manual

40 Chapter 4 Registering, deregistering, and resetting handsets

Assigning a port ID to a handset

You cannot assign the same port ID to two handsets. If you assign a handset a port ID that is
already used by a second handset, the new handset registers with that port ID and that information
is discarded from the second handset.
A single handset can only have one port ID. If you assign a new port ID to a handset, the original
port ID and registration information clears from the handset. The handset loses its link to the base
station to which it was originally registered.
Before you register handsets, you must assign a unique port ID to each handset that you intend to
register with the base station.
