Setting The System Access Logical Identifier - Northern Telecom Meridian 1 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Setting the System Access Logical Identifier

The four-digit Logical Identifier (LID) lets the Meridian Companion system
identify itself to portable telephones, and the portables use it to request service
from the system. The LID must be a hexadecimal number (four characters
composed of a combination of the digits 0 to 9 and the letters A to F) between
0500 and FFFE. The default is randomly generated by the system at startup.
The LID generally should not be modified.
There are only two reasons to modify the LID.
• The site has multiple Meridian Companion systems, and you want users
to be able to move from system to system without changing slots on their
portable telephones. All systems must be set to the same LID.
• Two systems that are located near each other were accidentally assigned
the same LID; users of one system can access the other system. (This
highly unlikely situation could occur, for example, in an office building
occupied by multiple organizations.)
Changing the LID disables all portables.
If you change the LID on an existing system that has registered
portables, you will invalidate the registration of all the portables
on the system. Portables must be reregistered before they can be
used with the system, or the LID must be changed back to its
previous value.
Only an installer should change the LID.
