This week I decided to add two more handsets to my vtech ip8100 base.

The manual for the handset ip811 explains how to add the handset by entering the Base Id, however what happens if you have old handsets to add to your base or if your handset is not automatically asking for a base id?

I found some information on the Vonage forum:

However I tested another way of doing it without having to power down the base.

Just press on the “Sel” button on the handset and the “Enter Base ID” message will come up. At this point just enter the Base id and press “Sel” again. Your handset should come up with the new Handset number.

That is it! You are done.
