The PARI is a part of the broadcast identity, which uniquely identifies an IPBS/IPBL. This PARI is automatically assigned to each IPBS/IPBL in the system. But if more than one Ascom IP-DECT system operates within the same coverage area, the systems need to have a unique system identity in the PARI assigned in order to differentiate the systems.
Page 51
Installation and Operation Manual TD 92372GB IP-DECT Base Station & IP-DECT Gateway 7.5.18 SARI The SARI is the broadcast identity, which uniquely identifies an IP-DECT system. It is needed to make the IP-DECT system operate. The SARI is added in the master.
