Registering A Handset - Avaya 7406E Installation And Configuration Manual

44 Chapter 4 Registering, deregistering, and resetting the Avaya 7406E Digital Mobile Handset

Registering a handset

You must assign the port ID to the handset before you can register the handset. If you do not assign
a port ID to the handset first, the Please Register! message appears on the LCD. Make sure
the base station is in idle mode and the handsets are in idle mode before you start this procedure.
You must pair the handsets with a base station by registering the handsets. When you register a
handset, you establish a link between that handset and the base station. Registering a handset
prevents illegal use of or interception of conversations on the handset. Each time you register a
handset with the base station, the system generates a random secret code and sends it to that
handset.
Caution: Risk of service disruption
Always make sure that there are no TCM lines connected between the KSU and
the base station when the base station is in registration mode, or when you are
registering a handset.
