28 / Handset Configuration
If you install more than one base station on a system, ensure that you assign a unique Security code to each base station. However, all base stations have the same three Handset ID numbers (1, 2, or 3), which identify the handset to the base station.
Identifying the Handsets to the System
Each of the three handsets registered to a base station share an identical Security code, but each handset has a unique handset ID number of 1, 2, or 3.
The handset ID number the handset is assigned to maps back to the
Handset ID 1 | Handset ID 2 | Handset ID 3 | ||

In turn, these numbers correspond to telephone records in the main system. In the system, these records identify each telephone with a local number, referred to as a DN (directory number). Since the records will be set up before you configure your handset, check with your system administrator to determine which local has been assigned to which port. From there, you can identify which Handset ID number should be assigned to each handset.
Note: When a base station is relocated, the Handset ID number follows the set DN (system telephone record), if the Set relocation feature is on.
