About ARI and IPEI Identification
All Spectralink DECT Handsets and all Spectralink IP-DECT Servers have unique identification num-
bers.
This is needed in order for:
l
The handsets to know which Spectralink IP-DECT Server installation they belong to.
l
The Spectralink IP-DECT Server to know which handsets that are subscribed to it.
A handset uses an International Portable Equipment Identifier, also called IPEI number, for handset
identification and subscription to a Spectralink IP-DECT Server.
A Spectralink IP-DECT Server uses an Access Right Identity number, also called ARI number, for
server identification.
When an IPEI number of a handset is linked to a Spectralink IP-DECT Server, the handset is sub-
scribed. There is a record in the Spectralink IP-DECT Server holding information about all the hand-
sets being subscribed to it. This record is subdivided in to User profiles, often referred to as just a
User. Each User must hold information about extension number, the handset’s IPEI number, and its
registration credentials for the PBX. This information is used to link the subscribed handset to the
PBX which is the same as a line registration. A Users profile holds subscription data and registration
data. For more information, see
"Registering Users and Subscribing Spectralink DECT Handsets"
