Compatibility Statements
No Base Station and No Handset Compatibility
The IP1202-based IP-DECT solution is not compatible to IP1200 based IP-DECT solution.
The old DECT handset IP50, IP52, IP54, IP55, IP56 will not operate on new IP1202-based IP-DECT system.
The new DECT handsets IP61 and IP63 will not operate on old IP1200 based IP-DECT system.
The new DECT base stations IP1202 and IP1202e can not be used to extend an existing old IP1200 based IP-DECT system.
=> This means NO HANDOVER between different systems (move with active call on a specific handset from an IP1200-system to an IP1202-based-system or vice versa)
=> This means NO ROAMING between different systems (usage of a specific handset in a non-compatible IP-DECT system - see above)
Mixed Ascom/innovaphone Environments
It is generally not supported to mix Ascom and innovaphone DECT products in a single installation, e.g.
- Combination of IP1202/IP1202e and Ascom IPBS2 base stations is neither allowed not supported
- Usage of IP61/IP63 with Ascom IPBS2 based networks is not supported
- Usage of non-innovaphone headsets in IP1202 based networks is not supported
The one and only exception to this is use of the Ascom d81 which may be operated in an IP1202 environment.
No Multicell License Required
The Multicell License is obsolete for IP1202-based IP-DECT systems.
For IP1202-based IP-DECT systems a SARI (Secondary Access Right Identity for DECT) certificate is required. The SARI activates an IP-DECT Master based on IP1202. One single SARI certificate is required for a single IP-DECT system, regardless how many base stations are used. Also for IP-DECT systems with one single base station a SARI certificate is required. The SARI certificate is not an innovaphone license and only required to make sure the DECT Radio Fixed Part Identity used in the DECT system is worldwide unique one.
A Multicell License can not be converted to a SARI certificate (and there is also no need to do so).
Repeater and External Antennas
There are no DECT repeaters available with IP1202 based IP-DECT solution. Only IP1202-based base stations must be used.
The DECT repeaters for IP1200 are not compatible to IP1202/IP1202e.
The IP1202 has no possibility to connect external antennas.
In case external antennas are required, the IP1202e has to be used. The IP1202e has no internal antennas.
Training and Deployment
Site Survey Kit
The Site Survey Kit for IP1200 is not compatible to IP1202, since the battery voltage is to low for IP1202.
The Site Survey Kit for IP1202 contains a battery case for 20 AA/LR06/Mignon standard cells. Any alkaline 1,5 Volt AA batteries can be used and will provide power supply to an IP1202 for 16 hours. As alternative, 20 rechargeable NiMH AA cells with 2000 mAh capacity at least can be used instead and will provide power supply for 10 hours.
The Site Survey Kit will be delivered without IP1202 base station and DECT handsets, instead the base station and handsets from the new DECT Training Kit can be used.
Also a headset for DECT phone with microphone on boom is a part of the Site Survey Kit intended for ongoing monitoring of the voice quality.
The survey kit can be purchased at your Distributor. The recommended retail price is EUR 450,00:
innovaphone article number: 50-00060-022 DECT Deployment Kit consisting of:
- batterypack for 20x AA batterys (without batterys and charger)
- a case for the IP1202 (without IP1202)
- tripod
- headset
DECT Training Kit
To be able to attempt to the optional DECT Training Topic in the Advanced Training a DECT Training Kit must be ordered.
The DECT Training Kit contains:
- IP1202 x 2
- IP61
- IP63
- Charger for IP61/IP62/IP63
- USB-Programming Charger for IP61/IP63
This kit is referred to as Trainingspaket 2 (DECT) or Training Pack 2 (DECT) in the price list. Pleas note that this kit needs to present in addition to the regular training kit.
Parallel usage of IP1200 and IP1202 IP-DECT systems
The operation is only possible as two independent systems. No handover or roaming between the systems is possible. An IP1202-based system can and should synchronize the TDM clock with IP1200 based system to avoid interference.
Migration Policy For New Projects
The information in this chapter is only a suggestion which devices to use while plan new DECT projects. No mixing of old and new handsets or base stations is possible in the same project.

innovaphone IP52 | - | - | - | - | innovaphone IP61, IP63 |
innovaphone IP54 | IP54 Dust protected, Splashing water protected | YES | - | - | innovaphone IP63 |
innovaphone IP64 | IP64 Dust tight, Splashing water protected | YES | - | - | Ascom d81 Ex |
innovaphone IP55 | - | YES | - | YES | innovaphone IP61, IP63 |

Ascom d81 (1) | IP65 Dust tight, Water jets protected | YES | YES | YES | |
Ascom d81 Ex (1) | IP65 Dust tight, Water jets protected | YES | YES | YES |
Remark (1): When operated within an IP1202 or IP1202e based environment, telephony features of d81 and d81ex are equal to the ones of the IP63. Ascom-special telephony features as mentioned in the Ascom-d81-family-datasheet are not applicable in this use case.
Base Stations and Repeaters
The IP1200 Base Stations and all kinds of DECT Repeaters for IP1200 are replaced by IP1202, cause no repeaters are available for the IP1202 based IP-DECT solution.
DECT System Feature Comparison
This chapter describes the differences in the feature sets between old and new DECT systems.
Feature | IP1200 based DECT system | IP1202 based DECT system | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Registration on 3rd Party IP PBX | YES | NO | IP1202 can only register on innovaphone PBX |
Messaging | YES | NO | |
Repeater | YES | NO | |
External Antennas | YES (on repeater) | YES | with IP1202e |
Non-EU DECT Frequencies | YES | NO | Required for North America, Brazil |
Number of Speech Channels per Radio | 10 | 8 | |
Max. Number of Radios | 255 | 1000000 | with multiple Mobility Masters for IP1202 |
Max. Number of Subscribed Handsets | 1500 | 1000000 | with multiple Mobility Masters for IP1202 |

CAP Compatibility | NO | YES | IP61/IP63 handsets will always do "external handover" as per CAP (DECT external handover CAP-N.1) between IP1202. GAP-only-compliant handsets will thus not work |
DECT Encryption | NO | YES | DECT Voice Traffic is encrypted between IP1202 and IP61/IP63 |
Run innovaphone PBX | YES | NO | On new IP1202 you could not run as innovaphone Master or Slave PBX. |
DECT Security | NO | YES, step B is in preparation | Step B is expected to be published during Q2 2012, see also DECT Forum |
Usage in non-EU countries
The IP1202, IP1202e, IP61 and IP63 can technically be operated in most countries of the world, as the hardware supports all relevant DECT frequencies (software configurable). However, the devices are approved in EU/EFTA states only! Use in other countries will probably be illegal thus.
Test-SARI
DECT Systems are using a worldwide unique system identification (SARI) to be separated from each other.
For test and training purposes, innovaphone offers the following SARI:
31100422072149
This SARI is intended for use in test/training systems only!
Usage within productive systems is prohibited and not recommended.
If the SARI is changed, all handsets have to be subscribed again.
DECT systems which are near to each other and are using the same test-SARI, may disturb each other.
