The DECT handsets IP52, IP54, IP64, IP55, IP56 can be ordered until 05/2014 (not more available).

For the new DECT handsets IP61 and IP63 following chargers are available:

• simple charger (50-00060-002)
• programming charger (50-00060-003)(DC4-AAAB/3B) for administration purposes (via WinPDM)

Please be aware of the fact that chargers have to be ordered separately and are not part of the handset!

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, since not only GAP compliance is required, but also CAP compliance (DECT external handover CAP-N.1).

The DECT handset must support GAP and CAP for operation on IP1202 based 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 nor 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
• Usage of IP61/IP63 with Ascom Alarm/Messaging Server (ex:UNITE) 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The Multicell License is obsolete for IP1202-based IP-DECT systems.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.

Certifications and Test Reports

The innovaphone PBX was tested and certified by Ascom Wireless Solutions with Ascom IPBS based IP-DECT System, on which IP1202 is based (but is not the same product). A Certificate and a Test Report of this certification are available for download.

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.

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.

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.
