1.4 Licensing
The IP DECT solution requires a license entered into the main base station's (ADMM) configuration in order to operate.
This license is based on a number of factors:
· A transaction ID supplied when ordering the IP DECT system.
· A serial number generated from the MAC addresses of some of the base systems within the IP DECT system.
· The number of base station MAC addresses used for this varies with the total number of base stations needed
with the system.
· The base stations used for licensing must remain in the system. If any one should fail or be temporarily
remove, the capacity of the system may be reduced.
The following table summarizes the number of base stations licensed and the number required to validate the license.

Plug and Play Licensing
For IP DECT firmware 1.1.9 and higher, a simplified method of licensing is supported using pre-licensed RFP32 and RFP34
base station kits. These kits allow easier installation and upgrades by removing the need to separately obtain and
licenses based on the MAC addresses of selected base stations.
For initial installation, a pre-licensed and ready to go two RFP32 base-station kit is available. Additionally pre-licensed
base station upgrade kits (RFP32 and RFP34) are available that can be added to the system. When up to 8 plug and play
base stations are present, the number of bases station supported in total is up to 32).
Both license mechanisms (manually obtained licenses based on base station MAC addresses and 'plug and play') can be
mixed.
